Spring 2011
This study examines the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1) biofilm, with a concentration of cells similar to that reported for saturated aquifers, on the transport of poly(acrylic acid) stabilized nanoscale zero valent iron (pnZVI) in 14 cm long, saturated, laboratory packed columns, with...

The Influence of EPS Conditioning Films on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion to Solid Surfaces
DownloadFall 2010
Bacterial adhesion to inert surfaces in aquatic environments is highly dependent on the surface properties of the substratum, which could be altered significantly by the formation of conditioning films. The impacts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and its several representative...

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...

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...

Understanding the Deposition and Molecular Interaction Mechanisms of Substrate-supported Functional Coatings
DownloadFall 2017
Functional coatings have been extensively exploited for creating surfaces with desired functionalities in numerous engineering applications, which have received increasing attention over the past few decades. The objectives of this thesis research were to develop stable, hydrophobicity-tunable...

Spring 2016
In this study, a two-step flocculation method by combining anionic and cationic polymeric flocculants on the treatment of oil sands tailings was investigated. Compared to conventional flocculation by using a single anionic or cationic polymer, which has been a widely exploited procedure for...

Understanding zinc sulfide activation mechanism and impact of calcium sulfate in sphalerite flotation
DownloadSpring 2012
Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) was used to study the zinc sulfide activation with silver, copper and lead. The interactions between calcium sulfate and minerals and gypsum nucleation on functional surfaces were investigated using a QCM-D, surface forces apparatus (SFA), and...
