Effet de la cristallochimie des minéraux argileux gonflants sur les propriétés d'échange cationique et de dissolution. Implications dans un contexte de réhabilitation de sites miniers acidifiés / Effect of the crystal chemistry of swelling clay minerals on their cationic exchange and dissolution properties. Implications in a context of remediation of acid mining environment

Robin, Valentin 04 December 2015 (has links)
Les smectites sont présentent dans de nombreux environnements de surface et sub-surface au sein desquels elles jouent un rôle prépondérant dans la mobilité des cations majeurs et traces de part leurs capacités d’adsorption. En contexte de réhabilitation de sites miniers exploités par lixiviation acide, ces smectites jouent un rôle dans la remontée du pH des eaux ainsi que dans l’immobilisation des éléments solubilisés. La nature des argiles présentent dans les sables non consolidés d’un aquifère exploité a donc été étudié. La présence de smectites du type beidellite (charge tétraédrique) a été mise en évidence. Cependant, il existe peu d’études sur les propriétés de la beidellite, la majorité portant sur la montmorillonite (charge octaédrique). Un modèle d’échange pour 5 cations majeurs des eaux naturelles (Na, K, Ca, Mg, H) et un élément trace (226Ra) a donc été réalisé sur une beidellite de référence. Les vitesses de dissolution et les mécanismes à l’interface solide/solution en milieu acide ont ensuite été étudiés, validant l’application du modèle d’échange à bas pH. Des effets dus à l’organisation des particules en suspension (texture/agrégation) ont aussi été mis en évidence sur les propriétés d’échange et de dissolution. Lors de ces travaux, l’accent a été mis sur l’impact de la cristallochimie sur la réactivité des smectites par comparaison entre les propriétés de la beidellite et de la montmorillonite. Les résultats indiquent que la cristallochimie des smectites a un impact significatif sur leur comportement, ce paramètre pourrait ainsi être utilisé afin d’alimenter les modèles de transport réactif prenant en compte les propriétés des smectites. / Swelling clay minerals, in particular smectites, are present in many surface and subsurface environments in which they have a major impact on the mobility of major cations and trace elements due to their adsorption capacity. In context of remediation of mining environments operated by acid leaching, these smectites can act as pH buffer and play a role in the immobilization of soluble elements. The type of clay minerals present in the poorly consolidated sands of an aquifer leached by acid solutions was studied. The presence of beidellite type smectites (di-octahedral, tetrahedral charge) was evidenced. However, few studies exist on the ion exchange properties or the dissolution of beidellite, as most of them deal with montmorillonite properties (di-octahedral, octahedral charge). Then, an ion-exchange model involving 5 major cations of natural waters (Na, K, Ca, Mg, H) and one trace element (226Ra) was proposed for a reference beidellite. Dissolution rates and interfacial mechanisms in acidic solutions were investigated in order to check for the validity the ion-exchange model at low pH. Moreover, effects due to the texture/aggregation of particles in suspension were evidenced on the ion-exchange and dissolution properties. This study was focused on the impact of the crystal chemistry on reactive property of the smectites, by comparison of the properties of beidellite with those of montmorillonitic minerals. Results indicate that smectites crystal chemistry has a significant impact on their properties, and such parameter could be considered in reactive transport models when they take into account cation exchange and dissolution properties of smectites.

"It Seems Like It's Never Going to End": The Experiences of Those Living in Damaged Dwellings Following Hurricane Sandy

Wolfe, Rachel Suzanne 05 1900 (has links)
Where people go between evacuation and recovery remains an understudied aspect of disaster research. Whether experiencing multiple displacements, permanent displacement, or undergoing recovery in a damaged dwelling, the spatial and temporal dimensions of disaster displacement can have direct impacts on the recovery experiences of survivors. Pulling from focus group data gathered in 2017 from Hurricane Sandy survivors in New Jersey, this qualitative research focuses on the experiences of those who recovered in-situ, or within their damaged dwelling following the storm, and the various ways this non-displacement impacted their recovery. A content analysis following a grounded theory approach produced the emergent themes of the in-situ experience, including: a lack of suitable shelter, an exposure to secondary hazards, and an inability to achieve satisfactory emotional recovery. This study contributes to the growing body of literature surrounding recovery experiences, and it introduces valuable insights into the challenges that survivors face while recovering in-situ.
