Application of advanced adsorption processes for dissolved organic matter and heavy metal removal from water sources
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The main objective of this research was to develop an improved understanding of natural organic matter (NOM) and heavy metals removal from two water ... -
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 ... -
Arsenic rejection by membrane processes : model development and application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study investigated the rejection of arsenic by several nanofiltration and inorganic clay membranes. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted ... -
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 ... -
Fabrication and modification of nanocomposite membranes for enhanced water purification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Fabrication and modification of thin-film composite membrane for enhanced membrane performances
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Membrane application and technology have been explored due to the increase in organic and inorganic material contamination in water system. These works ... -
Fabrication of TIO₂-embedded PVDF membranes and their application in algae membrane bioreactor systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes with and without TiO2 (5% by mass) were fabricated and applied for high-density algae cultivation in membrane algae bioreactors (MBR). Microalgae species Chlorella Vulgaris was ... -
Fluorescence spectroscopy and parallel factor analysis of waters from municipal waste sources
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy is becoming a valuable tool for studying the complex nature of dissolved organic matter. EEMs can identify fluorescence emitting organic substances (fluorophores) ... -
Individual and competitive adsorption of MSMA and phosphate onto iron and non-iron soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Monosodium monomethylarsenate (MSMA (V)) is a common constitute in herbicides and pesticides used widely in the world, and yet its mobility and transport properties are still a relatively understudied area. Knowledge of ... -
Kinetics, mass transfer, and mass re-equilibrium for arsenate adsorption on iron oxide-based carbons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Removal of arsenic (As) from drinking water sources is much needed worldwide, and small water treatment systems, such as point-of-use (POU) treatment, ... -
Novel methods for preparation of modified 1-dimensional nanomaterials of titanium dioxide for environmental engineering applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Photocatalytic processes of titanium dioxide have been discovered in the early 1980 and till now titanium dioxide nanomaterials are the most popular photocatalysts for scientific researches and industrial applications. In ... -
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials for arsenic adsorption : surface complexation and intraparticle diffusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arsenic removal through adsorption is one of the most widely applied techniques for arsenic removal from drinking water. Among the numerous arsenic ... -
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 ... -
