Aquatic toxicity of one dimensional carbon nanomaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This study determined the toxicity of one dimensional carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) to amphipods, midge, oligochaetes and juvenile mussels in water and sediment. As-produced or modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silicon ...
Arsenic adsorption onto iron-chitosan composite from drinking water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
To develop an inexpensive adsorbent, suitable for arsenic removal from drinking water, iron-chitosan based sorbents were selected. Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, a polysaccharide and is available commercially ...
Use of fluorescence excitation emission matrix spectroscopy for water and wastewater characterization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Excitation Emission Matrix Spectroscopy (EEMS) has the potential to be used for the real time monitoring of environmental effects on water and ...
Development and evaluation of innovative iron-containing porous carbon adsorbents for arsenic removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arsenic is of serious concern because of its marked negative impacts to human health. Of the various sources of arsenic in the environment, drinking ...
Recycled plastics in asphalt pavement: life cycle assessment and environmental impact implications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This study is focused on exploring how the recycled plastics, when being used as an additive in the production of asphalt pavement, could impact the environment from a life cycle assessment perspective. The plastics modified ...
Studying and developing the thin film membranes for reverse osmosis application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Desalination by semi-permeable membranes is the most applicable method of water-salt separation, where reverse osmosis (RO) account for the major portion ...
