Petroleum refineries are deemed strategic industrial sectors that can release toxic materials to the environment and cause potential hazards. In this regard, designing and installation of soil contamination monitoring networks at petroleum refineries is a necessity. In this research, we designed an optimal monitoring network with maximum coverage and minimum number of monitoring boreholes.

Three types of environmental samples including water, soil, and native local plant materials were collected and analyzed. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the electron impact ionization mode has been developed for the separation, screening, identification, and qualification of chemicals after the sample preparation methods.

A few researches focus on adsorption of natural zeolite because of its hydrophilic property. On the other hand, PRBs need to be replaced by fresh materials after a while when all the possible absorption positions were filled up.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAdsorption is a well-known phenomenon that causes the remediation of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene). Zeolite is typically useful for the removal of BTEX from groundwater. In this study, the migration of the BTEX plume was investigated in a bench-scale tank model as a shallow aquifer.

In the east side of the city of Tabriz, a portion of the fault trend has been completely concealed by recent sediments and urbanization. In this paper, some hydrogeological methods are used to locate the concealed sector.
