Abstract: This paper presents benefits of the undergraduate research experience as identified by current and former students. The benefits are compared with desired outcomes of the undergraduate educational experience as identified ...

Abstract: This work studied the use of eucalyptus wood char as a filtration material for fluoride adsorption from drinking water to increase access to safe water. Upon increasing charring temperature, the specific surface area of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from amending eucalyptus wood char with the following metal salts: aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride, iron (II) chloride, and iron (III) nitrate. The results show that amending wood char ...

Abstract: The appearance of pesticides in ground water necessitates the accurate prediction of pesticide transport in ground water. Adsorption and desorption are major mechanisms affecting the movement of pesticides in ground water. ...

Abstract: Effective methods for the recovery and reuse of phosphorus are needed for sustainable agriculture. In this study, magnesium-amended corn cob chars prepared with brucite and sea bittern and calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) ...

Abstract: In an effort to further understand the fourfold higher fluoride removal capacity of chemically activated cow bone (CAB) previously reported compared to bone char, fundamental properties of CAB were evaluated in this study. ...

Abstract: Liquid-liquid extraction was investigated for use with surfactant enhanced subsurface remediation. A surfactant liquid-liquid extraction model (SLLEM) was developed for batch equilibrium conditions based on contaminant ...

Abstract: In laboratory column studies we evaluated chlorinated solvent removal using food grade surfactant-based solubilization and mobilization systems. We used nonionic sorbitan polyethoxylate monostearate for solubilization ...
