INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC MATTER ON THE ADSORPTION OF SODIUM DODECYLBENZENE SULFONATE ON VOLCANIC ASH SOIL (2012)
Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBS), an anionic surfactant, is used as an important content of detergent. Its discharge without treatment causes environmental problem and its adsorptive behavior in soils is not fully understood. In this study, the adsorption ...

SOIL CONTAMINATION CAUSED BY URBAN SOLID WASTE LEACHATE (2007)
Almost 60% of waste disposal sites in Brazil are open dumps with no infrastructure for environmental protection. It is usual to find uncovered waste. The rainwater runs off over the uncovered top of the waste dump. This water may contaminate the soil. This ...

HIGH-CONCENTRATION-GRADIENT DISPERSION IN POROUS MEDIA: EXPERIMENTS, ANALYSIS AND APPROXIMATIONS (1999)
Various experimental and theoretical studies have shown that Fick's law, based on the assumption of a linear relation between solute dispersive mass flux and concentration gradient, is not valid when high-concentration gradients are encountered in a porous ...
