Various empirical equations have been offered to facilitate the prediction of the concentration of pollutants in different phases in the environment. Using one such equation, Brown and Flagg (1981), the predicted separation between the...
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has been practiced in the treatment of landfill leachate. However, it is a big challenge for the usage of MFCs to treat landfill leachate with high ammonium content. The purpose of this study was to...
Chlorination of water is among the cheapest and mostly widely used drinking water disinfection methods. It also produces many disinfection by-products (DBPs) that are considered carcinogenic. DBPs are the result of chlorine reaction with...
This dissertation presents the work of groundwater long-term monitoring optimization based on an ant colony optimization algorithm and Bayesian analysis. Groundwater longterm monitoring (LTM) is required to assess human health and...
Colloid transport is believed to be controlled by their interactions with the porous media. The dominating forces are the electrostatic interactions that are determined by colloid surface charge density. Although it is well accepted that...
Residential wastewater management in urban fringe and rural areas in northwest and north central Florida is commonly accomplished using on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs), typically consisting of septic tank and drainfield...
Invasive plants are a nuisance and a hazard across the United States. Many states spend large amounts of money in an attempt to control and prevent the spread of these plants. This study seeks to take these invasive, low value plants and...
Microbial transport plays an essential role in microbial activities in the subsurface soil. In this research, transport of Echerichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis in silica sand under water unsaturated conditions...
Due to the continuous need to improve water supply sources, water operators are looking towards ways to conserve water and protect water quality through leakage protection. Currently computer generated models have been used to try to...
ABSTRACT Landfilling is widely adopted as one of the most economical processes for solid waste disposal. At the same time, landfill leachate is also a great environmental concern because of its complex composition and high contaminant...
Nanosilver has the ability to anchor to the bacterial cell wall and subsequently penetrate it, thereby causing structural changes in the cell membrane and death of the cell. The bacterial responses to the presence of nanosilver usually...
Rhamnolipid biosurfactant is a bacterial biosurfactant produced by several Pseudomonas species, which can wet hydrophobic soils by lowering the cohesive and/or adhesive surface tension, allowing the water to spread out more evenly and...
