The landfill of Colliare is situated on the left bank of the river « la Venoge », at the place of a former gravel pit in the municipality of Penthaz. It was exploited until 1995 and many different wastes were deposited in it, such as incineration slag of h ...
The energy consumptions of conventional ozonation and the AOPs O3/H2O2 and UV/H2O2 for transformation of organic micropollutants, namely atrazine (ATR), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) were compared. Three lake waters and a wastewa ...
Desorption isotherms for water, ethanol, ethyl acetate and toluene from a sodium smectite clay have been determined by both dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) measurements and Knudsen thermogravimetry (KTGA), at the exception of toluene that was measured only by ...
The commercially available fluorescence dye 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (HPTS) can be used as a selective molecular probe for the detection of caffeine in aqueous solution. ...
Deep geological repository involving a multi-barrier system constitutes one of the most promising options to isolate high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. In order to certify the efficiency of waste isolation, it is essential to understa ...

Assessing the performance of deep geological repositories for heat-generating radioactive waste requires reliable predictions of the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of the clay barriers (the buffer material as well as the host rock/clay). This repr ...
The work presented in this thesis was carried out in the framework of two European projects: SOLWATER, and AQUACAT. The global objective of those projects, including the present work, was to set an autonomous system for drinking water production in develop ...
The effect of Fe2+, Fe3+, H2O2 and the photo-Fenton system (Fe2+or3+/H2O2/hv) on solar water disinfection (SODIS) at low temperature and at near neutral pH are discussed in detail. We focus on Escherichia coil K12 suspended in either MilliQ water, water co ...
Ozonation of drinking water results in the formation of low molecular weight (LMW) organic by-products. These compounds are easily utilisable by microorganisms and can result in biological instability of the water. In this study, we have combined a novel b ...
Kinetics, products, and pathways of 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) transformation during chlorination of water with and without bromide (Br-) were studied to evaluate the effect of chlorination on the fate of steroid estrogens. Br- can be important for th ...
