Thin Film Composite (TFC) membrane technology has been applied in the removal of various pollutants from wastewater. TFC membranes have small pore sizes which enable the rejection of multivalent ions such as those found in Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). Also, nanoparticles with desir…
How animals adapt to environmental stress has long been of concern. Studies looking at effects of resource limitation often focus on food. However, water is also essential for life and can be limited in the environment. Despite this, little is known about how water availability …
Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right, yet hundreds of millions of people around the planet are unfortunately forced to drink contaminated waters. Arsenic contaminated drinking water is responsible for the largest global mass poisoning in history in India and Ban…
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…
