Li, Jingyi (2014-08-01)In this study, the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM), a near-explicit photochemical mechanism, is, for the first time, implemented into the Community Air Quality Model (CMAQ) model (referred to as CMAQ-MCM hereafter), a 3D ...
-
Wu, Li (2015-05-05)Quantitative information on sources and source region contributions to particulate matter (PM) concentration in China is currently poorly understood but is urgently needed to make emission control strategies. In this study, ...

Dimitriou-Christidis, Petros (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The biodegradability and physicochemical properties of unsubstituted and methylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated. The focus was on the development of models expressing the influence of molecular ...
-
Tran, Janessa Le (2016-08-24)Bioenergy is a form of energy derived from renewable resources, such as lignocellulosic biomass. Lignocellulosic biomass refers to plant material. Many lignocellulosic biomasses considered as waste, such as agriculture ...
-
Binmahfouz, Abdullah (2012-10-19)Using seawater in cooling systems is a common practice in many parts of the world where there is a shortage of freshwater. However, biofouling is one of the major operational problems associated with the usage of seawater ...
-
Park, Sung Hyuk (2011-08-08)Perchlorate has entered human and environmental food chains and has received a great deal of attention because of its toxicity to humans. In this study, chemical degradation of perchlorate was investigated using partially ...
-
Langille, Meredith Caitlyn (2009-05-15)Perchlorate is known to adversely affect the thyroid gland functions including iodide take up, thus perchlorate should be removed from drinking water. Bituminous coal-based activated carbon (AC) has been used for perchlorate ...
-
Lee, Chun Woo (2009-05-15)Perchlorate is a threat to public health through water but also food. However, there is no effective chemical treatment process which can destroy perchlorate found in groundwater and surface water. Thus, there is growing ...
-
BinMahfouz, Abdullah S. (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This work addresses the problem of using seawater for cooling and the associated environmental problems caused by the usage and discharge of biocides. The discharged biocide and its byproducts are toxic to aquatic lives ...
-
Wang, Baixin (2016-12-09)Biodiesel is a promising, clean, lipid-based biofuel that can be made from triacylglycerols (TAGs). However, TAG feedstocks and extraction of TAGs from the feedstocks are costly, making the price of biodiesel less competitive ...
-
Robertson, Allana Rae (2016-05-05)Microbial activity in raw repurposed waters from oil and gas operations is known to cause enhanced corrosion in flow lines and downhole fouling in the reservoir if left un-treated. For this reason, shale operators prefer ...
-
Raut Desai, Aditya B. (2011-08-08)Highly oxidized species like perchlorate and nitrate that are released into the environment by anthropogenic activities are a source of concern as they have been known to contaminate groundwater. These species are extremely ...
-
Tewari, Sanjay (2012-02-14)Carbon has been used electrochemically in various forms for water treatment and the carbon aerogel is one of them. Carbon Aerogels (CA) are used as electrodes due to their high surface capacity and high electrical conductivity. ...
-
Wee, Hun Young (2009-05-15)The overall objective of this research was to develop and assess a new method, named remedial extraction and catalytic hydrodehalogenation (REACH), for removing and destroying soil contaminants. In particular, I considered ...
-
Ahn, Min (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Immobilization and detoxification of chromium in the vadose zone is made possible by the existence of an effective reductant, SO2, that exists in a gaseous form at room temperature. Experimental studies were designed to ...
-
Duan, Yuhang (2016-04-05)Pyrite has been demonstrated to be an excellent absorbent in removing mercury in many studies. Most of them used natural pyrites that were ground to micro-scale size or even larger. This study investigated methods to produce ...
-
Mieles, John Michael (2012-07-16)At many sites it has become apparent that most chemicals of concern (COCs) in groundwater are persistent and not effectively treated by conventional remediation methods. In recent years, the permeable reactive barrier ...
-
Ortega, Luis H. (2010-07-14)The Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) is a Department of Energy (DOE) program, that has been investigating technologies to improve fuel cycle sustainability and proliferation resistance. One of the program's goals is ...
-
Han, Dong Suk (2011-02-22)The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of novel nanostructured adsorbent media (NTAs, iron sulfides (FeS2 and FeS)) to remove arsenic, selenium and mercury from ash and scrubber pond effluents. The NTAs ...
-
Nagarnaik, Pranav Mukund (2012-07-16)Healthcare facility wastewaters are a potentially important and under characterized source of pharmaceuticals and personal care products to the environment. In this study the composition and magnitude of pharmaceuticals ...
