Introduction
Surfactant and foam processes have been widely used in enhanced oil recovery from the petroleum-bearing geological formations [1, 2] and in-situ subsurface remediation from shallow formation and aquifer [3, 4].
This study investigates the potential of using surfactant and foam processes for the in-situ remediation of shallow subsurface NAPL phases within a field in a US/Korea...
A reliable forecast of potential evapotranspiration (ET
Membrane distillation (MD) using porous hydrophobic membranes finds applications in various areas such as desalination of seawater, industrial wastewater treatment, and pharmaceutical separation of mixtures. In this study, a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) module with commercially available polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes (GE-Osmonics/0.22um and MS-3010/0.45um) is...
Increasing the contact area between roots and soil, root hairs are hypothesized to be a key plant strategy facilitating nutrient and root water uptake. Although future agriculture will have to deal with an increasing water and nutrient deficiency, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding root responses to soil drying. In particular, the effect of drought stress on root-soil contact remains...
Plant productivity is directly influenced by water and nutrient uptake. Therefore, functional-structural root models need to accurately describe rhizosphere processes. Such models will enable better agricultural management strategies and improved root trait selection for plant breeding. Due to their complexity functional-structural root models are hard to analyse. In Schnepf et al. (2020)...
Different land uses and wastewater discharges from point and diffuse emission sources result in accumulation of nutrients, or eutrophication of lakes and reservoirs, and water quality not meeting standards for different uses. Consequently, 70% of the approximately 300 lentic water bodies monitored in Mexico are in a eutrophic or hypereutrophic state [1]. Different methods have been proposed...
