Chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) often found in groundwater near industrial sites or in industrial wastewaters. Adsorption on activated carbon is a common strategy to remediate these waters but spent activated carbon results in a toxic residuum to...

The inadequate management of wastes associated with chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) has become a huge environmental problem. Surfactant Enhanced In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (S-ISCO) was studied as a successful technique to remediate polluted sites. This work investigated the reaction between...

In this work we consider the network equilibrium problem formulated as convex minimization problem whose variables are the path flows. In order to take into account the difficulties related to the large dimension of real network problems we adopt a decomposition-based approach suitably combined...
