Cation exchange due to the diffusion of ammonium from livestock effluent through glacial clay soils
Download2007
Abstract: The objective of this study was to experimentally simulate interactions between liquid manure and soil in diffusion-dominant areas beneath earthen manure storage (EMS). A previous radial diffusion cell method was modified to include an anaerobic chamber that employed a plastic glove bag...

Chemical modification, characterization, and application of chicken feathers as novel biosorbents
Download2013
Ullah, Aman, Khosa, Muhammad A., Wu, Jianping
The current work exclusively pertains to preparing arsenic removing biosorbents using chicken feathers (CF) as a raw material. CF consist of keratinous proteins with many functional groups, and this paper contributes to the debate on how functional groups, especially –COOH, –NH2 and –S–S–,...

Water-Dispersible Magnetic Particle-Graphene Oxide Composites: Synthesis, Characterization and Application in the Removal of Selenium Oxyanions
DownloadSpring 2014
Selenium is toxic in excess with a high mobility in water. Existing adsorbents only show some removal capacity for selenite but perform poorly (typical removal percentage < 50 %) for selenate, the more bioavailable and soluble species. In this thesis, two Magnetic particle-Graphene Oxide...

Fall 2015
Carbon dioxide capture using adsorption based separation processes has shown promise but has not been exploited to full potential to be implemented on a commercial scale. This thesis examines two key stages in the development of adsorption based carbon dioxide capture processes, namely adsorbent...

Spring 2013
The performance of highly anisotropic, nanostructured, thin-film ultrathin-layer chromatography (UTLC) media with porosity and architecture engineered using the glancing-angle deposition (GLAD) process is investigated. Anisotropic structures resembling nanoblades are fabricated on the plates,...

Development of a hybrid wheat straw adsorption and microfiltration system for oily wastewater treatment
DownloadFall 2020
Effective, economical, and sustainable treatment technologies are highly desirable for treating oily wastewater generated from various industries as well as municipal and commercial establishments. The performance of traditional polymeric membranes is largely constrained by their high fouling...
