Adsorption interactions of UV-aged microplastic particles with sulfamethazine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Due to growing plastic demand and production without proper waste management, microplastics have become common around the world throughout diverse systems. At the same time, increased detection of antibiotics in the ... -
Environmental and medical applications of molecularly imprinting polymer sensor for the detection of progesterone
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Molecularly imprinted polymers are spatial technique with artificial recognition sites compatible to the template size, shape, and functional groups arrangement. The MIPs have shown high selectivity and affinity for the ... -
Ferroxane derived ceramic composite material as catalysts for heterogenous Fenton reactions for dyes and pharmaceutical removal in water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The goal of this project is to fabricate iron oxide (ferroxane) ceramics as catalysts for heterogeneous Fenton reactions, which will ultimately be used in the degradation of nonbiodegradable organic compounds, such as ... -
In-situ detection of atrazine and its metabolites contamination in natural waters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Water and soil contamination caused by extensive atrazine (ATZ) application in agriculture, could be a potential risk to the environment and human health. Common analytical methods are expensive and complex. A sensor for ... -
Interaction at the solid-water interface of 0d and 2d carbon nanoparticles : environmental impacts and applications for contaminant removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Carbon dots (CDs) and graphene oxide (GO) are rapidly emerging carbon-based nanomaterials that, due to their growing applications, will inevitably find their way to natural waters; however, their environmental fate is ... -
Iron oxide-graphene oxide nanocompositions as adsorbents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Iron oxides and carbon containing materials are recognized for their potential in the water treatment field as adsorbent materials for removing many contaminations such as heavy metals and organic matter. One of these iron ... -
Molecularly imprinted polymers and their application as environmental sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Molecularly imprinted polymers are specialty polymers with ability of selectively capturing target molecules. They show great potential to be environmental sensors for the detection of specific contaminant. The overall ... -
Molecularly imprinting polymer sensor for the detection of testosterone and endocrine disrupting chemicals in environmental and biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Molecular imprinting is one of the promising techniques that have been used recently to detect trace contaminants in aqueous solution. This technique is based on the fact that the target compound is present during the ... -
Removal of hexavalent chromium and sulfamethazine by green zero valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)A green and low-cost method for nZVI fabrication was developed in this thesis using FeCl3 as the source of iron and yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) extract as the reductant. The extract showed an impressive high content ... -
Surface interactions between nanoscale iron and organic material : potential uses in water treatment process units
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Membrane systems are among the primary emergent technologies in water treatment process units due to their ease of use, small physical footprint, and high physical rejection. Membrane fouling, the phenomena by which membranes ...
