Monitoring redox conditions with redox indicators during microbial reductive dechlorination in microcosms and bioaugmented columns

Creator:: Ruiz-Haas, Peter A.
Abstract:: New methods, sensors, and devices based on redox indicators were developed to monitor redox conditions in anoxic and anaerobic laboratory systems and the subsurface environment. The primary application was monitoring redox conditions during the dechlorination of tetrachioroethene (PCE) to ethene (ETH) in packed columns and microcosm bottles containing an enriched...

Development and evaluation of sampling techniques, instrumentation, and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water with a portable fluorometer

Creator:: Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai
Abstract:: A novel, portable, filter fluorometer was developed for the determination of chloroform and TCE at environmentally-relevant levels when coupled with improved sampling techniques and reagents. Reagents selective for the TCE or chloroform convert these toxic species into fluorescent species that can be monitored. The fluorometer is based on LED excitation...

Evaluation of sampling/preconcentration techniques and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water

Creator:: Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai
Abstract:: A direct purge technique was developed for the determination of chloroform or trichloroethylene (TCE) in water samples. These volatile organic solvents are transferred from the water sample to a reagent where they are trapped and react to form products (Fujiwara chemistry) that are monitored fluorometrically. Chloroform in a water sample...

The development and characterization of miniature spectrometers for measuring the redox status of environmental samples

Creator:: Cantrell, Kevin
Abstract:: A spectrometer, here denoted a Simple, Low-power, Inexpensive. Microcontroller-based or SLIM spectrometer. was developed that exploits the small size and low cost of solid-state electronic devices. This approach results in customizable spectrometers that are considerably less expensive and smaller than traditional instrumentation. The performance of the SLIM spectrometer was evaluated...

High quantum-yield phosphors via quantum splitting and upconversion

Creator:: Jeong, Joayoung
Abstract:: The Gd3+ ion has been used to induce quantum splitting in luminescent materials by using cross-relaxation energy transfer (CRET). In Nd:LiGdF4, quantum splitting results from a two-step CRET between Gd3+ and Nd3+, first involving a transition 6G→6I on Gd3+ and an excitation within the 4f3 configuration of Nd3+ followed by...

Measuring in situ reductive dechlorination rates in trichloroethene-contaminated groundwater

Creator:: Hageman, Kimberly J.
Abstract:: Trichloroethene (TCE) is the most frequently detected organic contaminant in groundwater, is classified as a probable human carcinogen, and exhibits toxicological effects on the human endocrine, immune, developmental, and reproductive systems. While significant research efforts have been devoted to the development of strategies for remediating TCE-contaminated groundwater, their advancement is...

Natural and semi-synthetic compounds with biocidal activity against arthropods of public health importance

Creator:: Khasawneh, Mohammad A.
Abstract:: This study identified new compounds with pest control activities. The two sources of candidates that were followed here were the main heartwood extract of Alaska Yellow Cedar (AYC) constituents and several semi-synthetic counterparts. Five compounds were isolated and identified for the first time in AYC heartwood in this research: two...

Synthesis and study of oxides and chalcogenides : thin films and crystals

Creator:: Park, Sangmoon
Abstract:: Several types of solid-state inorganic materials are prepared and characterized. By using the SILAR (Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction) deposition method in conjunction with hydrothermal dehydration both low-temperature deposition and crystallization of oxide thin films are achieved. Various aspects of new transparent p-type materials are studied by examining both...

A contribution to the development of wide band-gap nonlinear optical and laser materials

Creator:: Stone-Sundberg, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: The primary focus of this work is on examining structure-property relationships of interest for high-power nonlinear optical and laser crystals. An intuitive and simply illustrated method for assessing the nonlinear optical potential of structurally characterized noncentrosymmetric materials is introduced. This method is applied to materials including common quartz and tourmaline...

Synthesis and study of transparent p- and n-type semiconductors and luminescent materials

Creator:: Park, Cheol-Hee
Abstract:: New transparent p- and n-type semiconductors and luminescent materials have been prepared and characterized. Synthesis, structures, optical and electrical properties of new chalcogenide fluoride p-type transparent semiconductors MCuQF (M=Ba, Sr; Q=S, Se, Te) are described. Band-gap tuning and improvement in conductivity through p-type doping are demonstrated in the family. The...
