Waste Heat Recovery Using Thermochemical Energy Storage

Creator:: Walker, Irene
Abstract:: Industrial waste heat composed of saturated liquid water can be redirected to charge a thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system. This energy can be stored long-term in the inherently energy-dense chemical bonds and used for space heating. Initial reactor scale cycling experiments were conducted in tandem with TCES material improvements. Hydration...

Ultrafiltration Membrane Fouling in Side-stream Aerobic Granular Sludge Membrane Bioreactor

Creator:: Yang, Zhengjian
Abstract:: The integration of low-pressure membrane filtration and aerobic granular sludge (AGS) reactor leads to a novel environmental biotechnological process with strong potential to overcome membrane fouling and demonstrate excellent wastewater treatment performance. However, membrane fouling mechanisms in the AGS based membrane bioreactor (MBR) are lack of systematic elaboration. In the...

Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Undergraduate Engineering Students: Perspectives, Resiliency, and Suggestions for Improving Engineering Education

Creator:: Haverkamp, Andrea E.
Abstract:: Gender has been the subject of study in engineering education and science social research for decades. However, little attention has been given to transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) experiences or perspectives. The role of cisgender or gender conforming status has not been investigated nor considered in prevailing frameworks of gender...

The Influence of Stormwater Water Quality on the Adsorption of Copper and Zinc onto Five Different Sorbents

Creator:: Kanalos, Casey A.
Abstract:: Best Management Practices (BMP) are widely used as a method for stormwater volume control in urban areas to prevent an overload of water on receiving water bodies and treatment facilities. BMPs ability to treat stormwater has gone under critical review in the last few decades, and their performance varies both...

The Effects of Naturally Occurring Biofilms in Rapid Small Scale Column Testing of Sorbents for the Removal of Copper, Zinc, Nutrients, and Organic Carbon form Stormwater

Creator:: Rodman, Kelly E.
Abstract:: This project determined how the presence of environmental biofilms on sand, granular activated carbon and biochar affected the sorption capacity and desorption quantity of copper, zinc, nutrients and organic carbon from stormwater. These contaminants have harmful and toxic environmental impacts on aquatic life, can lead to eutrophication of surface waters,...

Sediment Deposition Characteristics in Shallow Saturation Excess Overland Flow with Application to Bioswales and Construction of a Novel Bioswale Design for Improved Contaminant Removal from Stormwater

Creator:: Wells, Jacqueline R.
Abstract:: Over the last two decades, urban stormwater management has grown to include green infrastructure, such as bioswales. These systems were primarily designed to mitigate hydraulic peaking during rainstorms but were also found to remove particulate and dissolved contaminants. However, little is known about the fate of these particulate contaminants after...

Prevalence and Fate of Antibiotic-resistant E. coli in Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants across Oregon

Creator:: Khorshidi Zadeh, Marjan
Abstract:: Wastewater treatment plants are considered one of the main sources and reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study investigated the prevalence of 8 different phenotypes of AMR, multi-drug resistant (MDR), and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) producing E. coli in 17 wastewater treatment plants across Oregon in winter and summer of 2019...

Optimization of Wastewater Sampling and Concentration Methods to Accurately Detect and Quantify SARS-CoV-2 in Varying Scales of Catchment

Creator:: George, Andrea D.
Abstract:: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was unprepared for such a massive challenge to global health. Individual testing kits and personal protective equipment were scarce. There were minimal ways to track the rapid spread of the disease, until researchers discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19,...

Optimization of Geologic Carbon Sequestration: Effect of Flowrate on Nonwetting Phase Connectivity

Creator:: Davis, Brittany R.
Abstract:: Atmospheric carbon reduction is arguably the most crucial facet among efforts to mitigate climate change. The Fifth International Panel of Climate Change report emphasizes a worldwide goal of maintaining global temperature elevation less than 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures. This report also acknowledges without the proper utilization of counteractive emission strategies...

Modeling the effect of longwave radiation from solar panels on soil moisture

Creator:: Shepard, Laurel A.
Abstract:: Agrivoltaics, which integrates photovoltaic power production with agriculture in the same plot of land, has the potential to reduce land competition and crop irrigation. To optimize agrivoltaic systems for crop growth, energy pathways must be characterized. While solar panels shade the crops, they also emit longwave radiation. At the end...
