Modelling of C/Cl isotopic behaviour during chloroethene biotic reductive dechlorination: Capabilities and limitations of simplified and comprehensive models

Predicting the fate of chloroethenes in groundwater is essential when evaluating remediation strategies. Such predictions are expected to be more accurate when incorporating isotopic parameters. Although secondary chlorine isotope effects have been observe ...

Correlation between flocculation and adsorption of cationic polyacrylamides on precipitated calcium carbonate

David Hunkeler, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Hamideh Ahmadloo, Ineide Cruz Pinheiro

The study of each stage of the flocculation process is essential to better understand and predict flocculation mechanisms. The adsorption of cationic polyacrylamide derivatives (C-PAM) onto precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) has been investigated systema ...

An experimental design methodology to evaluate the importance of different parameters on flocculation by polyelectrolytes

David Hunkeler, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Hamideh Ahmadloo, Ineide Cruz Pinheiro

Aggregation of particles is fundamental for improving the performance of many solid/liquid processes. Aggregation can be induced by different means, and one of the most common is based on the addition of polymeric additives, namely polyelectrolytes. In thi ...

Solution viscosity and flocculation characteristics of linear polymeric flocculants in various media

David Hunkeler, Jutta Christine Wandrey

Rheological characteristics of linear copolymers of acrylamide (AM) and acryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (Q9), differing in molar mass and chemical composition, have been studied in distilled water (DW) and industrial water (IW) obtained from a ...

Flocculation by Cationic Polyelectrolytes: Relating Efficiency with Polyelectrolyte Characteristics

David Hunkeler, Jutta Christine Wandrey

A series of acrylamide/dimethylaminoethylacrylate methyl chloride copolymers (AM-co-DMAEA) was evaluated as flocculants for model Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (FCC) in distilled water. These cationic polyelectrolytes (PEL) differed by their AM/DMAEA rati ...

Review: microbial biocenoses in pristine aquifers and an assessment of investigative methods

David Hunkeler, Pierre Rossi

The current knowledge on microbial biocenoses (communities) in pristine aquifers is presented in a review, which also discusses their relevance for questions of groundwater protection. Aquifers are heterogeneous on all scales and structured in a variety of ...

Effect of microcapsule composition and short-term immunosuppression on intraportal biocompatibility

David Hunkeler, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Dianelys Sainz Vidal

With higher nutrient and oxygen supply and close contact to blood, the portal vein is a possible alternative to the peritoneal cavity for transplantation of encapsulated cells. Data regarding intraportal biocompatibility of microcapsules are lacking. Micro ...
