Pollution transfer

Considerable work has been done on the behavior of pollutant species at air-water and air-soil interfaces. For example, wet and diy deposition measurements of various gaseous and particulate species have been made over a wide range of atmospheric and land-cover conditions. Still, the problem is of such complexity that species-dependent and particle-size-dependent rates of transfer from the atmosphere to water and soil surfaces are not completely understood. There is much to be learned about pollutant transfer at water-soil interfaces. Concern about groundwater contamination by mineral...

Wastewater treatment systems can be a significant source of cross-media pollutant transfer. For example, waterborne particulates and some chlorinated compounds settle or absorb onto treatment sludge and other compounds may volatilize during the wastewater treatment process.

In order to make the transport model adaptable to measurement results some simplifications are used. Vertical and lateral components of wind are neglible, the mean transport velocity U in x-direction is steady the pollutant transfer by advection in the drift direction is greater than by turbulent diffusion at the ground total reflection is assumed. For the case that the concentration at any point in space is independent of t and that the diffusivities are independent of x, y and z the simplified diffusion equation of the K-therory /8/ becomes...

In contrast to technologies that are exclusively based on adsorption or absorption phenomena and result in pollutant transfer with the need for supplementary treatments, photocatalysis completely mineralizes the organic pollutants or, at least, enables...

The characterization of leaching behavior in water of solidified/stabilized waste is crucial in most reuse or disposal scenarios. Water plays a multiple role in physico-chemical phenomena in the solid, in pollutant transfer and pollutant dispersion in the environment. 

Diffusion Hybrid Receptor Model (Fay). This approach, beginning with the work of Fay and Rosenzweig (7), is perhaps the most interesting of all the hybrid models that have been proposed to date. Not only is it able to address the usual source apportionment problem of estimating source impacts (of SO2 and secondary sulfate) at a receptor site but it simultaneously generates estimates for the conversion and deposition rate constants and meteorological parameters that are influencing the pollutant transfer between source and receptor. Consequently, we choose to review this model in more detail than the others considered here.

Before considering the interest of UV spectrophotometry for the control of biological processes, a last physical treatment type must be presented. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are more and more used, because of their destruction power, preventing the pollution transfer (as it is the case for the other processes). AOP schemes include ozonisation, photo-oxidation and photo-catalysis processes, these last being based on the effect of UV radiation. 

Hydrodynamic Dispersion Due to the tortuousity of groundwater flowlines, which is linked to the irregulai- geometiy of both primary and secondary aquifer pore space, the pollution plume tends to spread out and dilute in the tliree-dimensional space as it moves downstream. This dispersion can contribute either to acceleration or delay of pollution transfer.
