The effect of organic sorbent concentration on sorption kinetics

Creator:: Dolan, Mark E.
Abstract:: Batch sorption tests were conducted using 3,4-DCP and cellulose triacetate as the sorbate/sorbent pair. Sorbate concentrations in the liquid were sampled with time and analyzed by electron capture detector gas chromatography. Sorption was found to be a two stage process characterized by a rapid initial uptake followed by a extended...

Molecular analysis of bacterial community dynamics during bioaugmentation studies in a soil column and at a field test site

Creator:: Li, Jun
Abstract:: 1,1,1-Tricholorethane (1,1,1-TCA), a widely used industrial solvents, is one of the most common subsurface contaminants. Transformation processes in the subsurface can result in the production of 1,1-dichioroethane (1,1-DCA) and 1,1- dichioroethene (l,1-DCE) from 1,1,1-TCA contamination, resulting in plumes of mixed chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). A butane-utilizing microorganism, strain 1 83BP,...

Evaluating dairy waste management systems ̓influence on fecal coliform concentration in runoff

Creator:: Grismer, Mark Edward
Abstract:: This paper examines the environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers...

Experimental design of physical aquifer models for evaluation of groundwater remediation strategies

Creator:: Humphrey, Mark D.
Abstract:: Groundwater resources have become seriously threatened due to improper use by industrial, municipal, and even public sectors. Widespread contamination of aquifer systems has jeopardized human health and the environment and methods for restoring these systems are needed. Biological and chemical in situ remediation, where contaminants are degraded within the natural...

Civil engineering students' and practicing civil engineers' understanding of engineering concepts

Creator:: Urlacher, Mark A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explore civil engineering students’ and professional civil engineers' understanding of concepts within statics and fluid mechanics. The studies described herein begin to examine theories of situated cognition utilizing concept inventories, which are sets of multiple-choice questions where the incorrect answers are based on...

Bioremediation of low-permeability, pentachlorophenol-contaminated soil by laboratory and full-scale processes

Creator:: Havighorst, Mark B.
Abstract:: Ex-situ bioremediation of saturated soil contaminated with pentachlorophenol and 2,3,5,6-TeCP is commonly accomplished by landfarming or by treatment in a bioreactor. Treating saturated, low-permeability soils in bioreactors, without pre-treatment requires a reactor capable of promoting anaerobic and/or aerobic removal of chlorophenols without transferring these contaminants to the aqueous phase. A...

Biodegradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its breakdown products by propane and iso-pentane grown Mycobacterium vaccae and Graphium sp. : cometabolism, inhibition, kinetics, and modeling

Creator:: Martínez-Prado, Maria Adriana
Abstract:: Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 and Graphium sp. were studied to evaluate their ability to cometabolize methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its metabolites after growth on two different alkanes, propane and iso-pentane. Both cultures were capable of cometabolizing MTBE and the metabolites, tert-butyl formate (TBF) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA). MTBE, TBF, and...

Factors controlling halogenated and nonhalogenated alkene growth substrate range of vinyl chloride-utilizing bacteria

Creator:: Taylor, Anne Elizabeth
Abstract:: This thesis explores the factors limiting the alkene substrate range of the vinyl chloride (VC)-utilizing bacteria, and describes a method for measuring VC transformation in situ. Vinyl fluoride (VF) was evaluated as a surrogate for monitoring aerobic VC-transformation utilizing three isolates, Mycobacterium EE13a, Mycobacterium JS60 and Nocardioides JS614. JS614 grew...

Numerical simulation of anaerobic reductive dechlorination of CAHs in continuous flow systems

Creator:: Mustafa, Nizar Ahmad
Abstract:: Halogenated organic compounds have had widespread and massive applications in industry, agriculture, and private households, for example, as degreasing solvents, flame retardants and in polymer production. They are released to the environment through both anthropogenic and natural sources. The most common chlorinated solvents present as contaminants include tetrachloroethene (PCE, perchloroethene)...
