Title: Evaluation of Reclaimed Drywall for Soil Amendment and Carbon Sequestration
Author: Besnard, Fabien
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering
Description: Construction and demolition (C&D) activities produce 170 million tons of waste annually (US EPA 2009), 15% of which are drywall. Drywall from construction activities, virgin material too small to be reused and often disposed in landfills, is estim...

Title: WATER REPELLENCY EFFECT ON UNSATURATED PROPERTIES OF COMPACTED COAL COMBUSTION RESIDUALS
Author: Dumenu, Livingstone
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: The generation of electricity from coal-fired power plants continue to be a mainstream approach. It is estimated that about 107 million tons of coal combustion residuals (CCRs) were generated in 2017 in the US (ACAA 2018). This equal amount of CCR...

Title: KNOWLEDGE INTENSIVE BUSINESS SERVICES AND METROPOLITAN ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN EXAMINATION OF THE COMPUTER SERVICE INDUSTRY

Description: As the United States economy shifted away from manufacturing industry dominance in the 1970's, business service industries grew in size and complexity to become the dominant driver of knowledge-based metropolitan economies. Knowledge-based modern ...

Title: Synthesis of Layered Double Hydroxides to Sequester Halides from Flue Gas Desulfurization Wastewater Concentrate
Author: Manikonda, Abhisek
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Environmental engineering
Description: An emerging strategy for the management of flue gas desulfurization wastewater involves volume reduction of the wastewater by concentrating to brine and then mixing the brine with fly ash and other chemical additives to form a paste suitable for l...

Title: Watershed-Scaled Modeling Methodologies for Estimating Highway Stormwater TMDLs
Author: Meng, Zhaochun
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering
Description: Highway networks represent a type of linear land use crossing streams and sensitive water bodies. Stormwater runoff generated from highway surface has long received much attention due to the presence of a variety of contaminants, such as sediments...

Title: Mobilization of oxyanion forming trace elements from fly ash based geopolymer concrete
Author: Sanusi, Olanrewaju
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering
Description: The suitability of fly ash based geopolymer concrete as a replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete depends on the mobility of elements from the material. Due to the alkaline nature of geopolymer concrete, there is a potential for th...
