Groundwater and soil remediation
Résumé de section
-
-
This week, we will present the properties of various contaminants and how they impact their potential for remediation.
I will present an example of a case study presentation.
The problem session will be dedicated to dry vs. wet density.
-
This week, we will discuss the kinetics of microbial processes and the monitoring of biological transformations in field sites. We will also briefly cover physiochemical monitoring strategies.
The problem session will be dedicated to homework #1: contaminant properties and partitioning.
This week, each group will be provided with their case study data.

This week, we will have a guest lecturer (Prof. Joaquin Jimenez-Martinez) who will present groundwater modeling from a theoretical point of view. During the exercise session, we will go to room SG 0217 to run an exercise with MODFLOW (a groundwater modeling software).
This week, each group will receive the date for the site they are assigned to remediate.

This week we will consider vapor phase processes.
The problem session will be dedicated to homework #2: microbial processes and monitoring
-
This week, students present their case studies. This will be graded.
Deliverable: Data summary from the raw site data provided to you is due. This is non-graded assignment. However, if the assignment is turned it on time, I will provide you feedback.
Due: October 7th at 5p (late assignments will not be considered).
-
This week, we will cover adsorption processes.
The homework will be on homework #4: vapor phase processes.
-
Semester break- no class
-
This week, we will cover soil treatment and washing as well as slurry biodegradation.
In the problem session, we will discussion homework #5: adsorption
-
This week, we will consider in situ bioremediation.
We will discuss homework #6 (soil treatment and washing)
-
This week, we will discuss physicochemical remediation (mostly in situ) and cover passive and active barrier technologies.
The problem session will be dedicated to homework #7: in situ bioremediation.
Deliverable: the remediation strategy is due. This is non-graded assignment. However, if the assignment is turned it on time, I will provide you feedback.
Due: November 11th at 5p (late assignments will not be considered).

This week on Monday, there is an optional visit to a contaminated site in Wallis a Collombey-Muraz. It is a former Tamoil site.
The details will be provided later. Just know that we will travel by bus and that you will need to bring your lunch.
On Wednesday:
Lecture: Regulations and disposal. We will have a guest speaker for one period: Prof. Isabelle Romy, who will tell her about the Swiss regulation.
Homework #8 on physicochemical remediation.
-
Final exam this week. Room BC 01.
You can bring the course slides but not the exercises. Also, bring a calculator, and scratch paper (blank paper).The exam will be a maximum of 4 hours long (9:15a-13h).
Previous exams and solutions are available below.

This week and the following two week, the students work on their project. Please sign up for office hours (in-person in my office) if you have any questions.
Reminder: The project report is due on January 8th before 5p as an electronic version sent by email.
