The Balangero asbestos open pit mine, located 35km NW of Torino (Italy), was the largest operation of this kind in Western Europe. The dry tailings were lifted by a conveyor belt from the mill and dumped over a natural slope with an approximate angle of 25 degrees, progressively reaching a maximum thickness estimated at 80 m.
By the '80s the dump was deeply scarred by various local and large scale instabilities, to the point that houses located at the toe, on the opposite side of the valley, were evacuated.
The award winning restoration project used a multidisciplinary approach including hydraulics, geotechnical, pedological and risk engineering to yield a well balanced and sustainable solution. This paper illustrates the Risk Based Decision Making (RBDM) process used through the feasibility, design and construction follow-up of the environmental restoration of the 60 Mm3 dry Balangero asbestos tailings dump.
The slopes were hit by storm Quinn and Medicane Rolf and came out unscathed. That was after surviving heavy summer storms in 2010 and 2011.

Industrial wastewater treatment describes the processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater (or effluent) may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to a surface water in the environment. Some industrial facilities generate wastewater that can be treated in sewage treatment plants. Most industrial processes, such as petroleum refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants have their own specialized facilities to treat their wastewaters so that the pollutant concentrations in the treated wastewater comply with the regulations regarding disposal of wastewaters into sewers or into rivers, lakes or oceans.

The role of_absorbent_building_materials_in_moderaErangaPrasad
This document discusses using absorbent building materials to moderate changes in indoor relative humidity. It presents an experimental climate chamber that controls water vapor flux instead of relative humidity. A variety of common building materials were tested for their ability to buffer indoor humidity, including brick, wood, earth, lime mortar and gypsum. The best performing materials were wood oriented with grain perpendicular to exposure and a specially developed bentonite/perlite mixture. Absorbent walls can effectively buffer daily and even annual humidity variations in low-exchange buildings like archives. Absorbent materials can also be combined with mechanical HVAC to provide simpler and more stable humidity control in buildings requiring ventilation, like museums.
This document discusses lighting design considerations for museums and art galleries. It addresses balancing conservation needs like limiting light levels with display needs like providing optimal viewing conditions. It recommends using the best equipment available and considering all aspects of light within display areas. Specific lighting sources, techniques, and examples are discussed, including using daylight, dichroic lamps, theatrical effects, and general lighting to create context while avoiding glare. Flexible, programmable lighting systems are advised.
Managing carbon geological storage and natural resources in sedimentary basinsGlobal CCS Institute
To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute, together with Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research and Development (ANLEC R&D), will hold a series of webinars throughout 2017. Each webinar will highlight a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website.
This is the eighth webinar of the series and will present on basin resource management and carbon storage. With the ongoing deployment of CCS facilities globally, the pore space - the voids in the rock deep in sedimentary basins – are now a commercial resource. This is a relatively new concept with only a few industries utilising that pore space to date.
This webinar presented a framework for the management of basin resources including carbon storage. Prospective sites for geological storage of carbon dioxide target largely sedimentary basins since these provide the most suitable geological settings for safe, long-term storage of greenhouse gases. Sedimentary basins can host different natural resources that may occur in isolated pockets, across widely dispersed regions, in multiple locations, within a single layer of strata or at various depths.
In Australia, the primary basin resources are groundwater, oil and gas, unconventional gas, coal and geothermal energy. Understanding the nature of how these resources are distributed in the subsurface is fundamental to managing basin resource development and carbon dioxide storage. Natural resources can overlap laterally or with depth and have been developed successfully for decades. Geological storage of carbon dioxide is another basin resource that must be considered in developing a basin-scale resource management system to ensure that multiple uses of the subsurface can sustainably and pragmatically co-exist.
This webinar was presented by Karsten Michael, Research Team Leader, CSIRO Energy.
This document describes an issue with elevated oxygen levels in a brewery's carbon dioxide (CO2) supply system. After extensive troubleshooting, the source was determined to be a failed inlet valve on the brewery's bulk CO2 storage tank. Replacing the valve with a new three-piece ball valve design resolved the oxygen contamination problem. The document also provides background information on CO2 production, purification, vaporization systems, and quality standards.

AIC Pinkney House Paper (Pinkney2.Txt)
1. GASEOUS AND PARTICULATE FILTRATION FOR THE PINKNEY HOUSE
Presented at the AIC Objects Group Meeting, 8 Jun 91 Rev 5 Jul 91
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gaseous and Particulate Filtration for the Pinkney House at the Kern
County Museum"
ABSTRACT
The Pinkney House is typical for many of the historic structures at the
Kern County Museum. It has problems with particulate and gaseous
contamination, and lighting problems. Typical "environmental controls"
of heating, cooling, humidification and dehumidification were ruled out,
based on the priorities identified for the collection as recommended by
the conservator, and the prospects of the high capital and operating
costs of treating over thirty such structures at the museum.
Since the environment within the house is not occupied, only viewed by
visitors from outside, an innovative approach was used to improve the
conservation environment within. First, the building was sealed to
prevent entry of particulate and gaseous contaminants. Second, an air
filtration system was installed to remove particulate and gaseous
contamination from the circulated air, and to introduce a small amount
of filtered outside air for pressurization. Third, the display cleaning
program was improved to include a vacuum with a high-efficiency
particulate filter.
The Pinkney House improvements were developed as a prototype to identify
effective solutions for roughly thirty other such structures at the
Museum.
The paper presents details of the improvements, with before and after
observations for particulate and gaseous contamination. The paper also
discusses measures to consider for further work and investigation.

BACKGROUND
The Kern County Museum is a collection of artifacts and buildings from
the Bakersfield area, representing historic activities and structures.
The Museum collections are kept in the various buildings, exhibited
either in one of the modern buildings, such as the Main Museum Building,
or one of the various historic structures.
2. The Pinkney House is typical of the historic structures, a former
residence. The collection is exhibited inside the house and visitors
view the collection by way of a glass "view box" which opens onto the
kitchen and living room. Museum visitors amy also view the collection
through the several windows which afford a view into the kitchen, living
room and bedroom.
CONSERVATION ENVIRONMENT PROBLEMS
The consulting conservator, Ms. Mayda Jensen, surveyed the Museum and
collections and identified basic priorities for environmental
improvements. Humidity extremes, high light levels, high temperatures,
particulate and gaseous contamination were cited.
GASEOUS CONTAMINATION. The major acute threat posed to the collection
is from the more recent gaseous pollution in the Museum's region, which
the conservator has identified as a primary agent in damaging most parts
of the collection. The pollution and oil drilling in the San Joaquin
Valley in and around Bakersfield has led to high pollution levels,
aggravated by the containment of the Valley mountains and frequent
thermal inversions.
PARTICULATE CONTAMINATION. A major problem was particulate
contamination, primarily due to the dusty areas surrounding the Museum,
including the adjacent fairgrounds. The chronic problem of ambient dust
presents a lesser real threat the collection's well-being, but
considerably diminishes the value of the collection to the viewer.
Cleaning of the collection had previously been done with cloth, feather
dusters and portable vacuums. Areas generally needed recleaning in less
than 6 months.
HUMIDITY STABILITY AND LEVEL. Due to the high rate of infiltration in
the buildings the humidity follows outside conditions. This leads to
daily fluctuations and prolonged periods of high humidity when rains
occur. Unlike many museums where humidity control is the primary goal,
much of the Kern County Museum historic collection has, by definition,
already been generally exposed and acclimated to the Kern County ambient
environment. The Kern County climate does not present the extremes in
humidity found in many other climates, and the lack of low temperature
extremes reduces the tendency of extreme drying from heating. There
are, however, ambient fluctuations in humidity to which the conservator
attributes some of the collection damage.
PROJECT CONSTRAINTS
CAPITAL BUDGET. The Museum has a very limited capital budget, highly
dependent on county funding and grants. As such, the cost of major
improvements to the many buildings needing attention would likely be
prohibitively expensive. Over thirty buildings treated at a cost of
roughly $20,000 each for conventional HVAC systems would yield an
eventual project cost of over $600,000.
UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE. There is very limited utilities
3. infrastructure throughout the Museum grounds, usually limited to 10- or
20-amp/120 volt single-phase electric service. Although available on
site, no gas, water or drains are brought to most buildings. To provide
such distribution infrastructure might easily double the project capital
cost.
OPERATING BUDGET. Even if the Museum could afford the cost of the
conventional HVAC equipment, it would be hard pressed to come up with
the annual operating costs which might amount to a six-figure recurring
annual cost.
TREATMENTS IDENTIFIED AND IMPLEMENTED
Typical "environmental controls" of heating, cooling, humidification and
dehumidification were ruled out, based on the priorities identified for
the collection as recommended by the conservator, and the prospects of
the high capital and operating costs of treating over thirty such
structures at the museum.
SEALING OF THE BUILDING. The building was sealed with caulk and
repainted. Operable doors were gasketed and inoperable doors and
windows were sealed.
IMPROVED VACUUM CLEANING OF THE COLLECTION. A new type of vacuum was
used, equipped with a higher-efficiency "toner" bag to trap smaller
particulates.
PARTICULATE FILTRATION AND GASEOUS CONTAMINATION CONTROL. A
recirculating air-handing system was installed with high-efficiency
particulate and gaseous filtration. A small amount of outside air was
introduced at the inlet side of the system for slight pressurization of
the building, hoping to encourage exfiltration rather than infiltration
through any remaining cracks in the building.
TREATMENTS ASSESSMENT
PARTICULATE CONTROL. The Museum noted a dramatic improvement in
particulate contamination. Rather than being badly in need of cleaning
in less than 6 months, the building needs very little cleaning almost a
year after installation of the system. The Museum noted that the
particulate filter needed changing about one month after the unit was in
operation, but that after that the filter seems to be providing a longer
life, indicating that the primary filter loading was from initial
original dust which has now been removed with very little dust entering
to take its place.
The new vacuum cleaner also seems to be doing a better job of removing
the particulates, trapping the smaller particles rather than blowing
them through the bag and back into the collection space.
GASEOUS CONTROL. Methods measuring of gaseous contamination levels were
only very crude tarnish observations on silver and did not include any
laboratory-grade pollution tests or testing of individual collection
objects damaged by gaseous pollutants. Nonetheless, silver test objects
in the Pinkney House showed improved tarnish protection when compared to
4. similar test objects in the similar but unsealed and unfiltered
Dressmaker building.
HUMIDITY EXCURSION REDUCTION. The extremes of humidity often
experienced in the past have not been evident in the renovated Pinkney
House. However, the House undergoes regular daily fluctuations in
humidity coincident with the diurnal temperature fluctuations typical of
an unheated/uncooled building.
CONCLUSIONS
The Pinkney House experience leads to the following conclusions.
1. PARTICULATE CONTROL. The use of central high-efficiency particulate
filtration, combined with higher-efficiency cleaning vacuums, can
lead to a dramatic reduction of particulate contamination, and an
associated major reduction in collection cleaning efforts.
Filtration treatment of each room in a small building is evidently
not necessary so long as the central system move a sufficient volume
of air (over 1 cfm per square foot).
Use of an expensive HEPA vacuum ($700-$1,000) is evidently not
necessary. A small "toner" vacuum ($150) is evidently effective.
2. GASEOUS CONTAMINATION CONTROL. The use of central gaseous
filtration with potassium permanganate pellets is evidently
effective in reducing the rate of tarnish on silver objects and may
indicate a reduction in long-term damage to other objects damaged by
gaseous contaminants.
3. METHOD OF GASEOUS CONTAMINATION MEASUREMENT. A more precise but
economical method of measuring gaseous contamination levels in the
field would be desirable. Faced with the tarnish-on-silver
technique, differences are better seen on flat sliver objects, such
as butter knives, rather than complex objects, such as spoons and
forks.
4. SEALED BUILDINGS AND TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SWINGS. A sealed building
can be expected to exhibit diurnal humidity swings psychrometrically
reciprocal to diurnal temperature variations. The diurnal
temperature swings of a similar unheated/uncooled building can be
expected to be about 4 to 6 degF warmer than for an unsealed
building.
FURTHER WORK
Although important conclusions can be reached from the Pinkney House
renovation project, it also highlights other issues deserving further
attention.
1. DEGREE OF CONTINUOUS GASEOUS TREATMENT REQUIRED. Although
effective, it is not clear that the $2,000 installation at the
Pinkney House is either too little or too much treatment. More or
different gaseous media might prove more effective. On the other
5. hand, long-term protection might be adequately provided with smaller
$600 or less filtration systems with less media.
This could be easily determined by testing the gaseous contamination
levels in two buildings treated with each type of system.
METHOD OF GASEOUS CONTAMINATION MEASUREMENT. A reliable, accurate
method of measuring gaseous contaminant levels in the field is
needed to help determine the adequacy of the gaseous treatment.
This might be achieved using one of the new continuous corrosion
indicators now available commercially for less than $10,000, or with
one of the low-cost passive testing devices just now becoming
available.
2. DEGREE OF CONTINUOUS PARTICULATE FILTRATION REQUIRED. Since the
primary loading of the fine particulate filter was in the initial
weeks of operation, the amount of continuous particulate filtration
required may be less than that required initially. Long-term
protection might be adequately provided with smaller $600 or less
filtration systems.
This could be easily determined by testing the particulate
contamination levels in two buildings treated with each type of
system.
METHOD OF PARTICULATE CONTAMINATION MEASUREMENT. This might be
achieved using one of the portable laboratory-grade particulate
samplers available commercially for less than $2,000.
3. TREATMENT OF HUMIDITY SWINGS. The diurnal humidity swings of a
sealed building may present a long-term problem to the collection,
although no evidence has been presented that they are any worse than
the humidity extremes of a leaky building. If identified as
problematic, treatment of the swings may be possible.
BUFFERING MATERIALS. The current humidity swings are not entirely
psychrometrically reciprocal to the temperature swings - they are
less than would be indicated by a pure temperature-driven change.
This indicates that there may be a buffering effect in the building,
possibly the wood structure itself, reducing the humidity swings.
This effect might be enhanced by the introduction of more stabilized
humidity buffering materials, such as silica gel.
HUMIDIFICATION. Although dehumidification might be problematic in
capital and operating costs, modest humidification might be
considered to increase humidity during the low part of the swings.
Since the humidity is relatively low (35% RH rather than 50% RH), a
wetted media device, such as wetted rotating copper screens, might
be added to the system for humidification. The humidifier could be
controlled by a low-level humidistat, turning the device on only
when humidity falls below the peak or average humidity in the
typical daily swings.
However, humidification should be carefully tested. Unlike a
buffering material, it will lead to a net increase in humidity,
which might end up increasing the average humidity without reducing
6. the peaks.
COOLING. The primary cause of the humidity swings is the change in
space temperature. As was planned in the event of over-heating, the
building might be cooled with one or two indirect evaporative
cooling cells, controlled by space temperature. While this would
require a greater capital cost for the cells and cooler scavenger
air fans, it would be less than half the cost of a conventional
vapor-compression cooling system and less than one-tenth its
operating cost.
