  • Removing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Assay Interference from Landfill Leachate Samples Treated with Fenton's Reagents

    Creator:
    Palmer, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Incompatibility between Fenton’s Reagents and a potassium dichromate COD test provides interference that prevent accurate measurements of the concentration of organics from oxidized samples. Several treatment options were tested to remove this interference. Oxidation of reagents was eliminated as a potential method for removal of interference due to sample contamination....

  • Photocatalytic Treatment of Stormwater Runoff using Puralytics LilyPad

    Creator:
    Laurance, Jon
    Abstract:
    Stormwater picks up pollutants as it flows over impervious surfaces before ending up in water resources. Best management practices are implemented to remove pollutants from stormwater. Puralytics manufactures a stormwater treatment product called the LilyPad. The LilyPad consists of a titanium dioxide nanoparticle photocatalyst immobilized on polypropylene substrate. Treatment of...

  • Effect of Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) and Inoculum Source on Co-digestion in Batch Anaerobic Digesters

    Creator:
    Shannon, Ceili T.
    Abstract:
    Anaerobic co-digestion of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) for increased methane (CH4) production has been of increasing interest to municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) due to the potential economic benefit of using the produced biogas for cogeneration of energy. FOG loading increase must be done carefully to mitigate the risk...

  • Effects of nesting waterbirds on nutrient levels in mangroves, Gulf de Fonseca, Honduras

    Creator:
    McFadden, Tyler Neal
    Abstract:
    Mangroves provide numerous ecosystem services, including biodiversity values such as nesting sites for piscivorous waterbirds. High concentrations of pisicivoirous birds are hypothesized to affect ecosystem dynamics, yet few studies have examined their effects in mangroves. We examined the effects of nutrient enrichment by colonial waterbirds at a mangrove rookery in...

  • The Design and Implementation of a Motor Controller

    Creator:
    Williamson, Tyler J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design and implementation of a motor controller that is a customizable and cost effective replacement for the motor controllers used by Edwards Robotics Company (ERC). Extensive research of comparable products available in the market was conducted. The research formed the basis for the design specifications of...

  • Anammox Enrichment and Kinetics

    Creator:
    Kannan, Rahasudha
    Abstract:
    Anammox (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation) is a significant biogeochemical process carried out by certain bacteria, generally referred to as anammox bacteria. These bacteria have the ability to anaerobically oxidize ammonium (NH4+) with nitrite (NO2-) to form nitrogen gas (N2) without an organic carbon source. While anammox bacteria are found in a...

  • Ultraviolet photolysis of acetaminophen in a 3D printed continuous flow reactor

    Creator:
    Goetze, John M.
    Abstract:
    Finding renewable sources of agricultural fertilizer will be necessary to ensure a stable food supply for future generations. Phosphorus is of particular concern, since mining phosphate rock is the main source and reserves are forecasted to deplete in the next 50 – 200 years. Human urine contains substantial amounts of...

  • Development and Characterization of Multiple Nanopore Systems for Molecular Sensing

    Creator:
    Schmeckpeper, Tyler T.
    Abstract:
    Artificial lipid bilayer technologies are effective models for studying cell membrane properties. Droplet bilayers rely on microfluidics and provide advantages over other bilayer methods due to their compatibility with automated development systems that increase yield while minimizing cost. This paper describes the implementation of bilayer technologies using membrane protein channels...

  • Bioethanol production from lignocellulosicbiomass: assessing genes linked to acetic acid stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Montgomery, Tyler P.
    Abstract:
    Lignocellulosic biomass represents a vast and renewable source of fermentable sugar for production of biofuels. However, native lignocellulose—comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—is refractory to degradation because the crystalline cellulose is not easily hydrolyzed by cellulases. Standard chemical treatments of lignocellulose to reduce the crystallinity of cellulose prior to enzymatic...
