Abstract:
... Freeze–thaw (FT) cycles would alter physical and chemical properties of soil and thus influence the transport of plastic particles (one type of emerging contaminant with great concerns). This study was designed to investigate the effects of FT treatment on the mobility of plastic particles (nanoplastics as representative) in columns packed with natural soils (i.e. loamy sand and sandy soil, quartz ...

Abstract:
... Recently, there has been an increase in collapsing gullies in the south of China as one of the most destructive types of soil erosion. Most collapsing gullies are formed on a well-developed granite crust; thus, granite residual soil plays a critical role. However, the extent to which the geotechnical features of residual soil, especially soil disintegration, affects collapsing gully formation is p ...

Abstract:
... Light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) spilt over an area can be a persistent and long-term source of groundwater contamination. Once the groundwater gets contaminated, it is difficult to remediate. Migration of the spilt LNAPL should be contained within the unsaturated zone of the soil such that the LNAPL does not reach the groundwater source. Although the presence of LNAPLs in the unsaturated ...
