In principle, cathodic protection can be applied to all the so-called engineering metals. In practice, it is most commonly used to protect ferrous materials and predominantly carbon steel. It is possible to apply cathodic protection in most aqueous corrosive environments, although its use is largely restricted to natural near-neutral environments (soils, sands and waters, each with air access). Thus, although the general principles outlined here apply to virtually all metals in aqueous environments, it is appropriate that the emphasis, and the illustrations, relate to steel in aerated natural environments.

In the design of granular soil (sand) filter materials, the particle-size distribution of the drainage system and that of the invading (or upstream) soils is required. The filter material should have its... 

Recent studies provide evidence for rapid dermal absorption of inorganic lead in adults however, these studies have not quantified the fraction of applied dose that was absorbed (Stauber et al. 1994). The quantitative significance of the dermal absorption pathway as a contributor to lead body burden remains an uncertainty. In children who experience extensive dermal contact with lead in soil, sand, or surface water and suspended sediment (e.g., beach or shoreline exposure scenario), even a low percent absorption... 

Over millions of years, rocks are weathered down into small particles, which form the basic ingredient of almost all soil. The size and chemical composition of the particles depends on the rock they came from—that is, the physical location and geological profile of your area—and determines the type of soil you have. There are three types of weathered rock particles that make up soil sand, silt, and clay. The proportion of the different particles found In a soil determines Its type—what name it is given—and how it behaves and should be managed. Most soil contains a mixture of all...

Direct pyrometallurgical processing of heavy-metals-contaminated soils, sands, and dust is often better suited for materials with higher levels of contamination however, it can be effective for low-level contamination as well. The technology is also well suited to process-concentrated heavy metals that have been generated by on-site screening or soil washing (personal communication, M. Thomas, The Doe Run Company, 10/97). 

The Extraksol process can extract organic contaminants such as oils and greases, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pentachlorophenols (PCPs), and phenols from a variety of solid matrices. The Extraksol process can extract polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from clay-bearing soil, sand, and FuUer s earth. Extraksol has successfully treated various media such as activated carbons, refinery sludges, and wood treatment sludges.

Sediments Soil, sand, and minerals washed from land into water, usually after rain. They pile up in reservoirs, rivers, and harbors, destroying fish and wildlife habitat, and clouding the water so that sunlight cannot reach aquatic plants. Careless farming, mining, and building activities will expose sediment materials, allowing them to wash off the land after rainfall.

Soil texture also affects the way pesticides work. Soils with fine particles (silts and clays) have the most surface area. They may need higher rates for total coverage. Coarser soils (sands) have less surface area and, therefore, they...

Fig. (14). Growth of lY-Plants The regenerated plants were pre-cultivated in a greenhouse for 1 year and then transplanted to a field in May 1988. The plants in the greenhouse were cultivated in pots (soil-sand-leaf mold, 5 1 1). Bars represent standard deviation of the mean, n=2.

In the adsorption study (blsom, 1995b), four concentrations of [KC]PBO (0-4, 2-0, 3-0 and 4.0 mg per litre of 0.01 mol L l calcium chloride) were equilibrated for 24 hours at 25aC in darkness in four soils (sand, sandy loam, day loam and silt loam) using a soil solution ratio of 1 10. Following the adsorption phase, the soil and solution were separated and two sequential desorption steps, involving the complete removal of supernatant and replacement by fresh 0.01 mol L 1 CaCL, were carried out on the soil residue.
