  • Effects of silver ions and nanoparticles on suspended cells and biofilms of Nitrosomonas europaea

    Creator:
    Barker, Leila Kelly
    Abstract:
    Silver nanoparticles are increasingly being incorporated into consumer products due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The resulting influx of silver nanoparticles into wastewater may pose a threat to bacteria involved in biological wastewater treatment. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, which convert ammonia to nitrite in the first step of nitrification, are highly sensitive...

  • 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...
