Biodecolorization of Paper Mills Wastewater Using Anaerobic Composting

Mendez-Sanchez, Noemi (2009-08-04)

This research studied the feasibility of using anaerobic composting for decolorizing effluents in the pulp and paper industry. While color is regarded as an aesthetic problem, there are several adverse effects associated ...

Conditions Contributing to Poor Coagulation and Sedimentation Performance in Municipal Water Treatment

Jenkins, Andre (2006-05-15)

The failure of the Auburn Water Works municipal water treatment coagulation and sedimentation process causing the plant to shut down from June 29, 1999 to July 2, 1999 was investigated. The investigation proceeded in two ...

Degradation of Phenolic Compounds Using Laccase or Peroxidase Enzymatic Treatment

Driver, Jeremy D. (2010-07-16)

To remove ammonia from wastewater most refineries use biological treatment employing suspended biomass because there is no secondary pollutant. The main purpose of biological treatment is to accelerate the oxidation process ...

Development and Application of the Surface Laser Induced Fluorescence Technique

Donath, Gregory (2008-12-15)

The mechanisms that control the mass transfer of gases across the air-water interface are not well understood. Current models for air and water gas transfer have limited effectiveness because they are based on large scale ...

Development of an Analytical Method for Quantification of Endocrine-Disrupting Phytoestrogenic Compounds in Estuarine Environment Using UHPLC-MS/MS

Qi, Jingyi (2018-04-27)

Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are nearly ubiquitous in the daily lives of individuals around the globe. Phytoestrogenic polyphenols (PEPPs, also known as phytoestrogens) represent a subgroup of EDCs. They are ...

Factors Affecting Arsenic Mobilization in Experimental Subsurface Systems

Radu, Tanja (2007-12-15)

Elevated concentrations of arsenic (As) in groundwater is a widespread problem that affects millions of people around the world. Other than the adverse affects on human health, this problem often raises economic, social ...

Identification of Selenium Reducing Species Within and Suggested Optimization of a Passive Biological Reactor

Grantham, Patrick (2016-12-09)

As concern for the environment moves to the forefront of the issues considered most pressing by society, mankind is becoming increasingly aware of the harmful things it discharges into the ecosystem in the name of industry ...

Incorporating Consideration for Poor Households into U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Affordability Methodologies for Drinking Water Treatment

Gingerich, Daniel (2013-07-10)

In the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act, Congress charged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with developing affordability methodologies to determine if new drinking water treatment regulations ...

Ozonation and Photodegradation of Oil Compounds by Surface Level Ozone and Engineered Catalysts in Marine Ecosystem

Ji, Haodong (2018-11-27)

Marine oil spill has been an environmental challenge for many decades. As the use of oil dispersants has become one of the main approaches to clean up spilled oil, the environmental behavior of dispersed oil remains poorly ...

Removal or Immobilization of Radionuclides and Trace-metals in Water, Soil and Poultry Litter Using Stabilized Nanoparticles

Xie, Wenbo (2015-07-29)

Two kinds of stabilized nanoparticles were synthesized and tested for the in situ immobilization of metals and radionuclides in soil and groundwater, namely Fe-Mn binary oxide nanoparticles for adsorptive immobilization ...

Sorption and Biodegradation of Pharmaceutical Compounds in Biological Wastewater Treatment Process

Yi, Taewoo (2007-12-15)

This study was performed to investigate the removal mechanisms of pharmaceutical compounds (PhACs) in biological treatment processes. The removal efficiencies and byproducts of three model compounds including 17a-ethinylestradiol ...
