Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) Nanocomposite Films for Sustained Release of CNCs and Enhanced Anti-biofouling Property
DownloadFall 2022
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are nanoparticles with high aspect ratios and excellent surface tunability and are processed from renewable bioresource. CNCs possess unique surface and colloidal properties which makes it an efficient depletion inducer for flocculating colloidal sized bacteria from...

Treatment of Source Separated Greywater Using Microbial Electrolysis Cell and Granular Activated Carbon Biofilter
DownloadSpring 2021
Source-diverted greywater contributes to 60-70 % of conventional wastewater in volume and has a low organic matter concentration as compared to conventional wastewater. Greywater constitutes a high concentration of surfactants that are toxic in nature for the microbial community, which poses a...

Anaerobic Ammonia Oxidation (ANAMMOX) processes for Ammonium-rich Lagoon Supernatant Treatment
DownloadFall 2020
Ammonium-N and phosphate-P-rich anaerobic digester sludge liquor recovered during sewage sludge dewatering contributes more than 30% of the total nitrogen loading when returned to the municipal wastewater plant. Hence, side stream treatment could offer an economic alternative given its relatively...

Fall 2020
The demand for fresh water is steadily increasing as a result of the increasing human populations and activities. On the other hand, water sources are limited, especially as the global warming continues to change the quantities and distribution of water all over the world. Therefore, focusing the...

Direct filtration of Cryptosporidium surrogates in drinking water treatment-a multiscale approach
DownloadSpring 2019
Cryptosporidium, a waterborne protozoan pathogen that can cause gastrointestinal illness, is often found in surface waters that are used to supply drinking water. Filtration is a major barrier against Cryptosporidium in drinking water treatment processes. However, interactions between oocysts and...

The Occurrence of Residual Biological and Chemical Hazards in Recovered Struvite from Blackwater
DownloadFall 2018
Phosphorus is an essential element in several industries such as agriculture and a requirement for growth. Dwindling phosphate rock sources thus requires the security of new phosphorus sources to maintain future populations. On the other hand, wastewater contains a considerable amount of...

Partial Nitrification Processes for Ammonium Rich Sludge Thickening Lagoon Supernatant Treatment
DownloadFall 2018
In wastewater treatment, nitrogen removal is becoming increasingly challenging to meet the more stringent standards and regulations. At local wastewater treatment plant, nitrogen removal is challenging when the plant was experiencing shock loadings. Thus, improving the nitrogen removal is...

Coupled effects on the transport and deposition of biocolloidal particles in saturated porous media
DownloadSpring 2016
The transport and deposition of biocolloidal particles in porous media is a crucial phenomenon in understanding environmental challenges from pathogen contamination to bioremediation of soil and water. The fate and transport of biocolloidal particles in porous media is influenced by many factors...
