Abstract: Relationships among raw water quality, pretreatment facilities, and the design of packed bed filters are presented and applied. The particle size, particle concentration, particle surface characteristics, and solution ...

Abstract: A mathematical model to describe the changes in the particle size distribution immediately below the solid/liquid interface in gravity thickening was formulated and tested against experimental results. The distribution is ...

Abstract: The identification of a least cost design and configuration of unit processes for particle removal in water treatment is formulated as a nonlinear optimization program. Simulation models describing changes in particle size ...

Abstract: Directions for enhancing graduate education in environmental engineering to meet the challenges of the future must consider: (1) Education for versatility and perspective; (2) programmatic issues on research and graduate ...
