Wang, Xiao (2022-08-25)Activated iron media has been proven effective for treating a variety of environmental contaminants with more strengths and less drawbacks comparing to conventional zero-valent iron (ZVI) technology. Despite its success, ...
-
Wen, Yinghao (2022-04-27)Due to the rapidly growing population, industrial manufacturers and agricultural producers are seeking every opportunity to meet the booming demands, which have inevitably led to the aggravated water contamination by a ...
-
Yang, Mingyue (2016-12-09)As the demand for water resources has been increasing all around the world, intense water appropriation has led to alterations of flow regimes over time. Changes in environmental flows have impaired beneficial functions ...
-
Choi, Jaeyoung (2018-11-18)Antimony (Sb) is an element in the group XV that has allotropic modifications and two main oxidation states as Sb(III) and Sb(V) in nature. Antimony is a pollutant of concern for its carcinogenic and bioaccumulation effects. ...
-
Hussey, Tyler Franklin (2017-04-28)Accumulating seismicity and groundwater contamination concerns are fueling increased regulations that can significantly burden an exploration and production (E&P) company’s water management budget – especially in a low-cost ...
-
Kabes, Connor Quinton (2021-06-23)Alfred Werner’s seminal work at the close of the 19th century was a stereochemical primer in the field of coordination chemistry. One limitation of these complexes, solubility, was modified more than 100 years later to ...
-
Mathur, Tushar Dutt (2018-11-27)In this research, the decentralized control of an Activated Sludge Process (ASP) with the modern Proportional-Integral Derivative (PID) controller tuning techniques is discussed. This tuning technique provides the entire ...
-
Deng, Wei (2019-07-10)Inadequate access to clean water is a pressing problem across the world, which calls out enormous research efforts to develop efficient and economic solutions to the safe reuse of wastewater. In this dissertation, heterogeneous ...
-
Wang, Xiaoxuan (2018-05-22)Arsenic (As) is a toxic element widely encountered in the environment and a food safety concern. The use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has grown rapidly due to the unique properties that make them beneficial in a wide ...
-
Wang, Zhenglu (2018-05-09)Exposure to fine particular matter (PMv2.5) is associated with various adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and respiratory related diseases. Reducing exposure assessment errors for epidemiologic ...
-
Hallmark, Brittany L (2017-06-26)Engineered nanoparticles are more and more being released into the environment even though not much is known about how these NPs will behave in the soil environment. CeO2 NPs have a wide range of applications, and therefore ...
-
Cao, Zhiming (2016-05-23)The widespread industrial uses of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) and their unregulated disposal have raised increasing concerns about the consequences of these nanoparticles on the environmental health and safety. ...
-
Stowers, Cheyenne Elise (2017-12-06)The use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has drastically increased, resulting in the release of these particles into the environment; raising concerns over the impacts this could have on human food safety. Two ENPs of ...
-
Sharifan, Hamidreza (2019-11-07)Crops and leafy vegetables are a rich source of protein, essential minerals, and fibers for the human diet, which may turn to toxic plants if exposed to heavy metals or metalloid contamination. Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb) and ...
-
Li, Shifan (2018-11-12)This study investigates the adsorption of several ionizable compounds on different types of carbon nanotubes, including graphitized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (G-CNTs), carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes ...
-
