I studied Bio-Engineering. I think that in the auditoriums we were a majority of girls, I would say 60%. After graduating from university, I found myself in a soil remediation engineering office, it is true that the number of girls has drastically decreased. Nevertheless, I worked in the office, I did some work on site. I found myself on a site surrounded by men, to sometimes have to take charge of things, and it went extremely well. I really had...
Nowadays, urban soil is a natural ressource to preserve. Indeed, the fast urbanization of the recent years led to considerable consequences in terms of space and energy consumption as well as water and soil pollution. At the present time, urban areas contain many contaminated sites. Two main issues can be identified which would need to be addressed through further reflection: first, the space consumption. Polluted areas in the centre of the cities are a waste of space. The clean-up of these...
During the US-Vietnam War, millions of litres of herbicides were dropped over Vietnam: The Rainbow agents. Biên Hòa Airbase was a joint operating base for the South Vietnam Air Force and the United States Air Force where thousands of barrels of Agent Orange were stored. Agent Orange was proven to cause severe health issues, including birth defects, neurological problems and cancers. Agent Orange is a mixture of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic. Traces of dioxins were also found in some Agents. Indeed,...
Thermal desorption is an environmental remediation technology that uses heat to increase the volatility of contaminants (organic and/or inorganic) as such that they can be removed from solid matrix (typically soil) to be recycled or destroyed. The subject will focus on two existing in situ TCH techniques: electrical and thermal heating. The designs and calculations are made considering the injection of power per linear meter of heating element. The method of heat injection with electrical power directly injects 1 kW/m, when...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) came into use in 1950’s and since then have been used in numerous industrial and commercial applications. PFAS comprises a large group of compounds (> 6.000) consisting of at least a hydrophobic alkyl chain of varying length . This hydrophobic variety can be completely fluorinated (perfluorinated alkyl substances) or partly fluorinated with at least two fully fluorinated carbons (polyfluorinated alkyl substances). Compared to the binding energy of C-C bond (347 kJ/mol), the C-F bond (439 kJ/mol)...
