• Biodegradation of selected organic nitrogen compounds in activated sludge systems 

    Guo, Jia, 1984- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Activated sludge systems are commonly used to remove organic matter and nutrients from wastewater. They are also used to remove synthetic organic ...
  • Kinetics of anaerobic digestion of selected C1 to C4 organic acids 

    Chen, Qian, 1985- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    Anaerobic digestion involves multiple bacterial and archaea species to convert organic matter into volatile fatty acids and finally into methane and carbon dioxide. In this study, the effect of six selected C1 to C4 organic ...
  • Metallic nanotoxicity to bacteria and bacteriophages 

    You, Jia, 1986- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    The inhibitory effort of two commonly used nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), on the growth of bacteria (E. coli) and bacteriophage (MS2) were evaluated using a turbidimetric ...
