Microorganisms and complex microbial communities are an integral and essential component of engineered water systems designed to improve public health, maintain ecosystem health, and provide optimal water infrastructure and quality. Activated sludge systems are designed to enric…
The formation of Fe(III) (oxyhydr)oxide precipitates from Fe(II) oxidation and/or Fe(III) hydrolysis is a key process that often governs the fate and bioavailability of contaminants and nutrients in natural and engineered systems. Electrocoagulation (EC) using Fe(0) electrodes i…
This dissertation describes the synthesis of carbon nanotube/ metal oxides composites including alumina, iron oxide, manganese oxide, tungsten oxide and zinc oxide using sol gel methods and thermal process. The conditions of the reactions were proper optimized. The methods have …
The water resources are polluted because of the widespread use of dyes in the industry, resulting in a major ecological threat. Among the various water treatment techniques, adsorption and photocatalytic degradation methods are the most preferred owing to their easy applicabilit…
A searchable database consisting of compiled water reuse guidelines was created as a screening tool for decision-analysis for potential beneficial reuse in (1) irrigation, (2) livestock watering, (3) aquaculture, and (4) drinking (potable) water. Data compiled from literature fo…
