  1. 6. Intermediate Community Use during Brownfield Remediation Phytoremediation’s Applicability Analysis in the Post-Industrial City of Malmö

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Rie Chimura; [2022]
    Keywords : applicability analysis of phytoremediation; brownfield remediation; intermediate community use; landscape architecture; post-industrial city of Malmö;

    Abstract : The general understanding of brownfield is a contaminated site often due to former industrial occupation. Brownfields are the environmental issue and redevelopment target in post-industrial cities, and the situation of Malmö, a former industrial city, is no exception. READ MORE

  3. 7. Solubility of arsenic in untreated and ZVI-treated contaminated aquifer material

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Oscar R. Davies; [2022]
    Keywords : Hjältevad; zerovalent iron; phosphate extraction; Oxalate extraction; Visual MINTEQ; geochemical modelling;

    Abstract : Arsenic (As) is a toxic element to all life and exists in nature both naturally and anthropogenically. Naturally As contaminated soils are formed due to high geogenic background As concentrations which is released when bedrock is eroded. Asia is a continent with a high amount of naturally As contaminated soils and groundwater. READ MORE

  4. 8. Evaluation of pollutant removal performance of stormwater biofilters in a Swedish climate : Comparison of three different filter media designs

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Anna Träff; [2022]
    Keywords : Stormwater biofilter; stormwater treatment; cold climate; filter media design; low impact development;

    Abstract : In the recent century, a process of urbanization has increased globally. Previously rural or natural land have been converted into impervious surfaces to make way for housing, industries, and roads. This anthropogenic process has resulted in an increased amount of surface runoff from precipitation, so-called stormwater. READ MORE

  5. 9. Long-term Effect of Metallic Iron Sorbents on Arsenic Mobility in an Anoxic Aquifer : An assessment based on long-term column experiments

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Stéphanie Nyström; [2022]
    Keywords : Zero valent iron; ZVI; Remediation; Anoxic; Column tests; ICP-MS;

    Abstract : Zero valent iron (ZVI) sorbents have successfully remediated soils burdened with different groups of contaminants. When working to alleviate arsenic (As) contamination, the location-specific subsurface chemistry greatly affects the efficiency of the sorbents as it controls the speciation of As and the transformation of the ZVI, as well as the interaction between these (remediating mechanisms).
