Removal of E. coli with alternative media Biosand filters

Creator:: Fulton, Nathan J.
Abstract:: When Biosand filters cannot be constructed with crushed quarry rock due to resource limitations, a suitable alternative filter media is needed. In this research, two crushed quarry rock alternatives were examined. Three bench-scale Biosand filters with crushed rock, beach sand, and heat-treated beach sand media were simultaneously dosed with Willamette...

The assessment of copper and zinc removal from highway stormwater runoff using Apatite II™

Creator:: Huang, Hsiao-Wen
Abstract:: Copper and zinc are heavy metals commonly present in highway stormwater runoff. Discharge of these metals to surface waters inhabited by sensitive aquatic species including threatened and endangered salmonids has necessitated the need for improved treatment techniques. Although copper is of the greater toxicological concern, zinc is often present at...

Quantification of Copper Speciation in Pulp and Paper Wastewater and Implications for the Biotic Ligand Model

Creator:: Mitzel, Joseph M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to measure the copper-binding behavior of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) contained in Pulp and Paper (P&P) wastewater effluent and evaluate the Biotic Ligand Model’s (BLM) ability to quantify copper speciation in P&P influenced waters. A copper ion selective electrode was used to measure copper...

The effects of engineered coatings and natural organic matter on nanoparticle aggregation

Creator:: McDowell, Shannon A.
Abstract:: In order to better predict the aggregation state of nanomaterials, the factors that influence aggregation must be understood. The combined effects of natural and engineered coatings have been shown to factor into nanoparticle aggregation behavior in preliminary research. In this study, aggregation behaviors of gold nanoparticles with two different engineered...

Interactions between natural organic matter and gold nanoparticles stabilized with different organic capping agents

Creator:: Stankus, Dylan Paul
Abstract:: The adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) to the surfaces of natural colloids and engineered nanoparticles is known to strongly influence, and in some cases control, their surface properties and aggregation behavior. As a result, the understanding of nanoparticle fate, transport and toxicity in natural systems must include a fundamental...

Evaluation of copper removal from stormwater runoff using compost and Apatite II™

Creator:: Silvertooth, Jason R.
Abstract:: Low concentrations of dissolved copper have proven to be harmful to a number of aquatic organisms, with recent research highlighting detrimental effects to endangered salmonid species. Stormwater runoff can represent a significant source of copper to surface waters, necessitating cost-effective alternatives to current stormwater best management practices (BMPs). This study...

Evaluation of Apatite II™ for removal of copper and zinc from highway stormwater runoff : laboratory and field experiments

Creator:: Provolt, Justin J.
Abstract:: Current best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater treatment are not able to adequately remove heavy metals to levels which do not adversely affect aquatic life. Copper is commonly found in highway stormwater runoff, with the primary source being brake pad wear. Copper is of particular concern due to inhibitory effects...

Evaluating the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with carbon-containing solid substrates

Creator:: Hart, Jeffrey L.
Abstract:: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with four different carbon-containing solid substrates (alder woodchips, corn silage, manure and woodchip biochar). Batch systems were tested for nitrate removal, and systems with a combination of...

Eco-corona formation and impact on environmentally relevant micro- and nanoplastics

Creator:: McColley, Campbell J.
Abstract:: Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter. These contaminants are increasingly found in the environment due to increased plastic production, use, and improper disposal. Detecting and measuring these contaminants in the environment has proven difficult, requiring the use of fate and transport models to assess MP...

Statistical analysis and speciation modeling of copper in Oregon highway runoff

Creator:: Bloomquist, Don J.
Abstract:: Low levels of copper have been shown to impair the olfactory system of threatened and endangered (T&E) salmon, decreasing their predator avoidance behavior and likely increasing mortality. However, only dissolved copper (dissCu) present as the cupric ion (Cu2+) and weakly complexed species are truly bioavailable. Previous studies indicate the vast...
