      Article
      Accés obert
      Denitrifying woodchip bioreactors (DWBs) have proven to be an efficient nature-based solution for nitrate removal. Modeling DWBs is required for improving their design and operation, but is hindered by the complexity of ...
    • On the localization of chemical reactions in multicontinuum media 

      Wang, Jingjing; Carrera Ramírez, Jesús; Saaltink, Maarten Willem; Valhondo González, Cristina (Elsevier, 2022-09)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Reactive transport (RT) through heterogeneous media, may cause chemical heterogeneity if water flux is slow through portions of the medium. In such cases, chemical localization (i.e., the occurrence of reactions that would ...
    • Reactive barriers for renaturalization of reclaimed water during soil aquifer treatment 

      Valhondo González, Cristina; Carrera Ramírez, Jesús; Martínez Landa, Lourdes; Wang, Jingjing; Almafitano, Stefano; LEvantesi, Caterina; Díaz Cruz, Sílvia (2020-04)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is known to increase available water quantity and to improve water quality. However, its implementation is hindered by the concern of polluting aquifers, which might lead to onerous treatment ...
    • Reactive transport: a review of basic concepts with emphasis on biochemical processes 

      Carrera Ramírez, Jesús; Saaltink, Maarten Willem; Soler Sagarra, Joaquim; Wang, Jingjing; Valhondo González, Cristina (2022-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Reactive transport (RT) couples bio-geo-chemical reactions and transport. RT is important to understand numerous scientific questions and solve some engineering problems. RT is highly multidisciplinary, which hinders the ...
