Bell, James Clayton (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The landfall of hurricane Claudette in 2003 damaged and eroded most Texas coastal counties. The residents of Pointe San Luis on the west end of Galveston Island, Texas lost their protective dune front and experienced ...
-
Chen, Yuan (2017-04-27)China has been suffering from increasingly higher ozone pollution in the past decade because of rapid economic growth and industrial development. Ozone formation is affected by the nitrogen oxides (NOx) and various volatile ...
-
Lee, Chun Woo (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Concentric rotating cylinder and turbulent mixing devices have been frequently used in studying mixing and particle coagulation. However, these apparatus develop simple laminar flow (concentric rotating cylinders) or do ...
-
Cho, Kun-Ching (2013-12-09)Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is soluble, nonvolatile cyclic nitramine explosive. Long-term manufacturing and various applications of RDX have resulted in RDX contamination in soil and groundwater. RDX ...

Song, Jin Kun (2009-05-15)Arsenic is ubiquitous whether it is naturally occurring or produced by humans. It is found at sites on the National Priority List and at sites operated by DOE, where it is the second most commonly found contaminant. More ...
-
Kaushik, Vishakha (2016-05-06)The effectiveness and feasibility of Advanced Reduction Process on arsenic has been studied. Advanced Reduction Process generates highly reducing radicals using a combination of a reducing reagent and UV light. These highly ...

Hand, Steven (2015-07-24)Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a type of polyhyroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioplastic, is an attractive alternative to traditional petrochemical-derived plastics, such as polypropylene. However, PHB is costly to produce due to high ...
-
Morar, Nilesh Mohan (2014-11-12)Dissolved silica in water is notorious for precipitating on industrial equipment. Scale formation can occur within tubes of a boiler, heat exchangers, and cooling towers, turbine blades are susceptible to deposit formation, ...
-
Kim, Sang Hyun (2011-10-21)Natural and synthetic estrogens are some of the most potent hormones detected in the environment. Agriculture fields often release higher concentrations of natural estrogens to the environment, but wastewater treatment ...
-
Thelakkat Kochunarayanan, Parvathy (2012-10-19)Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are two environmentally persistent perfluorinated compounds widely used for many industrial and consumer products due to their high thermal, oxidative resistance ...
-
McKee, Kyle Patrick (2015-02-10)Manganese (Mn) is considered a nuisance chemical in drinking water. Manganese causes problems with staining, foul odor, undesirable tastes, and can be corrosive to pipelines. The United States Environmental Protection ...
-
Mai, Duong Thai (2017-01-13)Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and potentially valuable source of organic substrate for biofuel-producing microorganisms. Various physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods have been established to alleviate ...
-
Choi, Jeong Yun (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Green rusts (GRs), a group of layered Fe(II)-Fe(III) hydroxide salts, have been observed to be effective reductants for degrading organic and inorganic contaminants under suboxic conditions. Furthermore, the addition of a ...
-
Abada, Bilal Saad Azeez (2016-11-30)Poly- and per-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the environment have raised a great public health concern because these compounds are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic. Degradation of polyfluoroalkyl substances like ...
-
Luo, Guofan (2014-08-05)Selenocyanate (SeCN^(-)) is a common form of selenium contamination in refinery and mining wastewater generated from processing oil or minerals from seleniferous formations such as marine shales. Humans who drink water ...
-
Liu, Xu (2013-07-27)A new treatment technology, called Advanced Reduction Process (ARP), was developed by combining UV irradiation with reducing reagents to produce highly reactive species that degrade contaminants rapidly. Vinyl chloride ...
-
Do, Si Hyun (2009-05-15)Iron-based degradative solidification/stabilization (Fe(II)-DS/S) is a treatment method that could be economically applied to smaller DNAPL-contaminated sites and to those sites with impermeable soils. Reductive dechlorination ...
-
Wang, Li (2015-07-28)Bromate (BrO3-) is a disinfection by-product that primarily results from ozonation of bromide-containing waters. Many studies have been launched to suppress BrO3- formation and to decontaminate BrO3- after its formation. ...
