Fall 2020
New sanitation is developed based on wastewater source-diversion and on-site treatment to maximize resource recovery from domestic wastewater. Blackwater stream collected from toilets is rich in organics and nutrients, and the rest greywater stream contains major water content. The primary...

Evaluating the transport and removal of coated microspheres as Cryptosporidium surrogates in drinking water filtration
DownloadFall 2015
A glycopolymer-modified microsphere surrogate for Cryptosporidium was developed, characterized, and used in filtration experiments. Several surrogates were investigated (yeast, unmodified microspheres, glycoprotein-modified microspheres), and then compared to Cryptosporidium oocysts....

The Impact of Semi-continuous and Alternating Microbial Feeding Patterns on Methane Yield from UASB Reactors
DownloadSpring 2023
The anaerobic treatment of wastewater is considered a promising technology for simultaneous organic matter removal and energy recovery. Compared to aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion conserves energy and is cost-effective in handling high-strength wastewater and wastes. However, the high...

Towards More Efficient and Economical Phosphorus and Bioenergy Recovery from Source-Diverted Blackwater
DownloadFall 2023
Decentralized source-diverted blackwater resource recovery represents an attractive wastewater management approach. Source-diverted blackwater refers to toilet wastewater, with or without kitchen wastewater, containing over half of the domestic biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) load and over 90% of...
