Oxidative dissolution of biogenic uraninite in groundwater at Old Rifle, CO
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Harish Veeramani
Reductive bioremediation is currently being explored as a possible strategy for uranium-contaminated aquifers such as the Old Rifle site (Colorado). The stability of U(IV) phases under oxidizing conditions is key to the performance of this procedure. An in ...
2011Influence of natural attenuation and river fluctuations on benzene dispersion in an alluvial aquifer subject to strong interactions with surface water
A contaminated alluvial aquifer, in a former gasworks factory and discharging to an adjacent river, was the object of field and laboratory investigations to assess pollutant attenuation and dispersion. Various organic and inorganic compounds were found in ...
2010Rare earth elements in groundwater from different Alpine aquifers
Aurèle Parriaux, Michaël Bensimon
Rare earth elements (REE) were determined in 39 groundwater samples collected at 14 sites under low- and high-flow conditions. Water samples derived from aquifers hosted in crystalline, molasse, flysch, carbonate and evaporite rocks located in Western Swit ...
2009Influence of environmental factors on the structures of bacterial communities in a chloroethene – contaminated aquifer
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani
Numerous industries have been using chloroethenes (CEs), mainly tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene, as non-flammable solvents since the beginning of the 20th century. Massive usage, along with careless handling and storage, made CEs one of the most abun ...
2009BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN A CONTAMINATED AQUIFER: INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani
Numerous industries have been using chlorinated ethenes (CEs), mainly tetrachlorethene and trichloroethene, as non-flammable solvents since the beginning of the 20th century. Massive usage, along with careless handling and storage, made CEs one of the most ...
2009Effect of wellbore storage and finite thickness skin on flow to a partially penetrating well in a phreatic aquifer
An analytical model is presented for the analysis of constant flux tests conducted in a phreatic aquifer having a partially penetrating well with a finite thickness skin. The solution is derived in the Laplace transform domain for the drawdown in the pumpi ...
2008Geological heterogeneity in landslides
Significant progress has been made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological numerical flow modelling for describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of landslides. However, these new sophisticated methods are still very seldom used in the problem ...
EPFL2008Characterizing a heterogeneous aquifer by derivative analysis of pumping and recovery test data
Evaluation of aquifer yields with the conventional time- drawdown method is based on the assumption of Theisian or infinite radial flow (IRF) of ground water to a well. However, long-term aquifer yields are controlled by heterogeneities and boundary condit ...
2006Méthodologie de dimensionnement des zones de protection des captages d'eaux souterraines contre les polluants chimiques persistants
This research proposes a general methodology allowing the delimitation of protection areas for abstracted groundwater against persistent chemical contaminants for the setting up of: (1) remediation programmes in the event of contamination and (2) preventio ...
EPFL2005Fate of volatile fluorinated compounds in the subsurface
Since their discovery around 1930, the synthetic compounds of the class of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been produced and used worldwide at very large scale. Their physico-chemical properties (non-flammability, chemical inertia, miscibility with water a ...
