Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms controlling colloid transport and deposition in the vadose zone is an important step in protecting our water resources. Colloid transport in unsaturated porous media was studied using X-Ray Microtomography (XMT), which is a non-destructive imaging technique that provides three-dimensional images at a resolution on the order of...

Creator:: Meisenheimer, Douglas E.
Abstract:: The flow of multiple immiscible fluids within a porous medium controls many natural and engineered systems in the environment including: geologic CO2 sequestration, enhanced oil recovery from underground reservoirs, and contaminant remediation of groundwater. The need to understand how fluids are transported and distributed in these processes is important for...

Abstract:: Removing nitrogen from wastewater is critical to avoid eutrophication of receiving waters. Due to its potential economic benefits, the use of anammox bacteria to remove nitrogen from wastewater is gaining in popularity. Anammox bacteria utilize NO₂- to oxidize NH₄+ to N₂. However, anammox bacteria are sensitive to a wide variety...

Creator:: Paustian, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: Multi-phase flow in porous media includes many instances of subsurface flow. Three-phase flow in particular is important in situations of enhanced oil recovery, CO2 sequestration, and groundwater remediation. Many studies have been performed on how two fluid phases (oil/water or air/water) behave in porous media, but very few studies exist...

Creator:: Hilliard, Richard F.
Abstract:: Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) bacteria are capable of providing low-cost nitrogen removal for numerous types of wastewaters. However, low growth rates cause long startup-times and inhibition by oxygen and metabolic substrates necessitate close process control to maintain performance. Incorporation of Simultaneous Anammox and Denitrification (SAD) into constructed wetlands could provide...

Creator:: Herring, Anna L.
Abstract:: Geologic CO₂ sequestration is a climate change mitigation strategy that prevents CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere by capturing CO₂ gasses from large point source emissions streams and then pressurizing and pumping the supercritical-state CO₂ into underground geologic storage reservoirs. Once underground, CO₂ is prevented from buoyant migration to the surface...
