This study developed a neural network model for examining the performance of recycled concrete for the treatment of acidic groundwater. Concentrations of Al, Fe and Ca and alkalinity of the effluent were selected as the output parameters to simulate the performance of recycled concrete for neutralizing acidic groundwater. The input variables were the number of pore volumes, pH, oxidation reduction potential and the average hydraulic conductivity. Of the 658 experimental datasets available, 409 datasets were used for training, 184 datasets were used for validation, and the remaining datasets were used for cross-validation. The reported results indicate that the neural model …

There is a growing interest in utilising non-traditional water resources by means of water reclamation and water recycling for long term sustainability. Amongst the many treatment alternatives, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been seen as an effective technology capable of transforming various types of wastewater into high-quality effluent exceeding most discharge requirements and suitable for a variety of reuse applications. To date MBRs are largely restricted to centralised large scale applications, with the most common capacity of 200 ML per day or above. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the potential and limitations of MBRs for small …

Acidic groundwater generated from pyrite oxidation in acid sulfate (AS) soil is a major geoenvironmental problem in Australia. This study aims to evaluate recycled concrete as a reactive material in permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) for the remediation of acidic groundwater in low-lying AS soil floodplains. Laboratory experiments were systematically conducted to investigate the acid neutralization behavior of recycled concrete and its potential to remove dissolved Al and Fe. The results confirmed that recycled concrete could effectively treat acidic groundwater from an AS soil terrain, resulting in near neutral effluent over a long period with complete removal of Al and Fe. …
