Ko, Sae Bom (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Fe(II)-based degradative solidification/stabilization (Fe(II)-DS/S) technology is the modification of conventional solidification/stabilization (S/S). Inorganic pollutants are immobilized by Fe(II)-DS/S while organic ...
-
Duan, Yuhang (2012-10-19)Perchlorate is one of the major emerging contaminants of concern and has been found in soil and water systems throughout the United States. Human exposures to perchlorate could occur by ingestion of contaminated water and ...
-
Abia, Thomas Sunday (2012-02-14)Iron oxide-bearing minerals have long been recognized as an effective reactive media for arsenic-contaminated groundwater remediation. This research aimed to develop a technique that could facilitate in situ oxidative ...
-
Camacho, Julianna G. (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)One of the most toxic environmentally mobile compounds found in water is arsenic. It has been used as a pesticide to control insects, fungi, weeds and rodents since the early part of this century because of its high toxicity. ...
-
Jamal, Yousuf 1973- (2012-11-27)Ion exchange resins, commonly used in water treatment, demonstrate promise for the production of biodiesel from biomass feedstocks. The goal of this presented PhD research is to investigate novel uses of ion exchange ...
-
Wise, Jatara Rob (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The spices consumed in the U.S. diet contain many elements other than the pure spice that many assume they eat. In particular, most of these spices contain radionuclides that are absorbed from the ground soil and water ...
-
Camacho, Julianna G. (2010-07-14)The biodegradation kinetics of Geropon TC-42 (trademark) by an acclimated culture was investigated in anoxic batch reactors to determine biokinetic coefficients to be implemented in two biofilm mathematical models. Geropon ...
-
Kim, Eun Jung (2009-05-15)Sulfide minerals have been suggested to play an important role in regulating dissolved metal concentrations in anoxic environments. Pyrite is the most common sulfide mineral and it has shown an affinity for arsenic, but ...
-
Desai, Ishan (2013-08-27)Manganese is a commonly occurring mineral found in soil and sediments that takes part in chemical reactions in groundwater and soil systems. It plays a significant role in controlling the environmental fate and transport ...
-
Harvey, Omar R. (2011-08-08)Organic matter is ubiquitous in the environment and exists in many different forms. Reactions involving organic matter are diverse and many have significant economic and environmental implications. In this research, ...

Katebah, Mary Anna (2015-07-17)Mercury (Hg) is one of the most detrimental by-products of industrial activities such as fossil fuel combustion and mining. In this study, adsorption and photocatalytic reduction of mercury (II) into elemental mercury using ...
-
Desai, Ishan (2010-10-12)Five commercial metal oxide nanoparticles (CuO, SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2 and Al2O3) have been individually screened for mercury removal in a batch reactor under bicarbonate buffered and non-buffered aqueous solutions (DI water). ...

Batchelor, Bill; Hapka, Alison Marie; Igwe, Godwin Joseph; Jensen, Richard Howard; Mcdevitt, Michael F.; Schultz, Dale S.; Whang, Joyce May (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2002-12-10)A method is disclosed for the degradation of persistent contaminants in soil. The method provides the combination of a stabilizing reagent and a degradative reagent where both are admixed into a contaminated soil site for ...
-
Cuenco, Michael L. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)A dynamic model of fish bioenergetics and growth at the organismal and population levels was developed as a tool to study, evaluate and improve the management of fishpond grow-out systems. The model is applicable to ...
-
Kota, Sri Harsha (2010-10-12)Near-road air quality studies have indicated the presence of high levels of pollutants. In this study, a three dimensional Eulerian model is developed which can be used to study the air quality near freeways. A vehicle-induced ...
-
Kim, Jin-Wook (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)To achieve predictive capability for complex environmental systems with coagulation and arsenic sorption, a unified improved coagulation model coupled with arsenic sorption was developed. A unified coagulation model coupled ...
