In this study, we analyzed the sources of ambient PM inorganic and organic components near a cement plant using fossil fuels as well alternative fuels, such sewage sludge biomass. Source apportionment methodologies, i.e., principal component analysis (PCA) multivariate curve resolution by alternating least squares (MCR-ALS), carbon isotope (δ13C) were used to determine potential their contributions. Four PM10 main tracer compounds constituents identified: marine secondary aerosol,...
Laboratory and field-scale pilot experiments were performed to evaluate the feasibility of chloroform degradation by alkaline hydrolysis potential δ(13)C values assess this induced reaction process at contaminated sites. In batch experiments, conditions adding crushed concrete (pH 12.33 ± 0.07), a filtered solution 12.27 0.04), cement 12.66 0.02) pH 12 buffer 11.92 0.11). The resulting after 28 days was 94, 96, 99, 72%, respectively. experimental data described using pseudo-first-order...
