Product Description
The presence of cyanide is a significant issue in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment and management, in remediation of former manufactured gas plant sites and aluminum production waste disposal sites, in treatment and management of residuals from hydrometallurgical gold mining, and in other industrial operations in which cyanide-bearing wastes were produced. The complexity of the chemistry and toxicology of cyanide and the risk it poses in different environmental contexts make its management and remediation extremely challenging. Cyanide in Water and Soil is the first book to present the state-of-the-art in managing cyanide across a wide range of industrial and environmental contexts.

The book brings together current knowledge and information about cyanide release to and behavior in the environment, and explores how to control or remediate these releases. No other broad-based examination of this topic exists. Exploring the anthropogenic and natural sources of cyanide in the environment, the authors address the full range of issues pertaining to cyanide fate, transport, treatment, and toxicity in water and soil as well as approaches currently used in risk assessment and management. They have developed a careful balance of depth and scope of coverage, providing current references that help readers learn more about topics of particular interest.

An array of technologies is available for the treatment of cyanide in surface water and groundwater, wastewaters, and contaminated soils and sludges. These technologies span the gamut of biological, chemical, electrolytic, physical, and thermal treatment processing. Presenting examples of applications of the technologies employed most commonly in municipal and industrial settings, the book is a useful reference tool for engineers, scientists, practitioners, and researchers in academia, industrial organizations, government, and engineering and science consulting firms. ...

From the supplier: The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model was analyzed to assess the uncertainties in predictions. A large number of model responses were generated by assembling a Monte Carlo simulation scheme into WEPP. These responses were then compared to observed data of a semi-arid rangeland watershed. The model's ability to simulate the system was illustrated by the behavior of errors and prediction intervals.

From the supplier: A new technique for the estimation of the length and maximum depth of sediment deposition on an alluvial fan during a flood event is presented. It is shown that the new methodology is a good tool for measuring the maximum depth of deposition that occurs when a channel with a steep slope on an alluvial fan must change to a channel with a milder slope. It is also shown that the estimates obtained using this method are conservative.

From the supplier: The use of paratillage and residue management approaches to prevent the erosion of soil and loss of water in summer fallow areas is discussed, using a particular case study undertaken in eastern Washington. The resulting increase in water storage was discernible but its impact on the yields of barley was insignificant. Nevertheless, it is surmised that paratillage and residue management would increase annual cropping in the long run.

Description:
Water management is one of the most effective options in decreasing methane (CH"4) emission from a paddy field. We have proposed the water management based on soil redox potential (Eh) named 'Eh control', and demonstrated the effectiveness of Eh control in decreasing CH"4 emission in pot experiments. The objective of the present study was to consider the practicability of Eh control under field conditions. Two-year experiments were carried out in a paddy field at the Agricultural and Forestry Research Center, University of Tsukuba, Japan in 2003 and 2004. Experimental factors were water management and rice (Oryza sativa L., cultivar: Koshihikari) straw treatment. Two methods of water management during rice growing period were continuous flooding and Eh control. For Eh control, drainage was carried out whenever the soil Eh decreased to -150mV, and flooding was carried out whenever the soil Eh increased to 0mV in 2003 and 100mV in 2004. Two methods of rice straw treatment were application and removal in the preceding winters of all straw harvested. The CH"4 flux was measured by a closed chamber method and the total emission during the growing period was estimated. Rice grain and straw yields were examined by a quadrat sampling method. The yield component was analyzed only in 2004. The total CH"4 emission was decreased by Eh control to 36% of continuous flooding on the 2-year average. Although straw application hastened the decrease in soil Eh when compared with straw removal, it did not affect the total CH"4 emission. Rice grain and straw yields were not affected by the experimental factors. However, yield component analysis showed that Eh control increased the number of panicles per hill and resulted in increased brown rice yield. Straw application also increased the number of panicles per hill, but did not affect brown rice yield. Consequently, the present study demonstrates the practicability of Eh control under the field conditions on an experimental level. Two important suggestions were obtained from the above results. One is that Eh control decreases CH"4 emission to a minimum level according to the range of soil Eh determined. Another is that it may be possible to change the range of soil Eh to a more positive value that will decrease CH"4 emission more and increase rice grain yield. ... Read more
