Particle associated contaminant transport in the Yamaska River / by S.S. Rao, J.H. Weng and B.G. Krishnappan.: En13-5/88-104E-PDF
"For proper modelling of contaminant transport in rivers, the knowledge on partitioning of contaminants between suspended particles including bacteria, and the dissolved phase is an essential prerequisite. The adsorption of contaminant onto the suspended matter is influenced by parameters such as particle size distribution, bacterial content, etc. To gain a better understanding of the effects of particle size distribution and the bacterial content on the contaminant adsorption process, laboratory studies were initiated using natural suspended matter obtained from a highly contaminated river in the province of Quebec in Canada (Yamaska River). The samples from the river were subjected to particle size distribution analysis using a laser particle size analyser. The different size fractions of the sample seperated using fractionation technique were subjected to (a) bacteriological analysis and (b) contaminant/particles interaction to establish the nature and extent of contaminant binding efficiency"--Abstract.
