Biodeterioration of PVC plastics, biochemical fate of DEHP, and bioreactor landfills for DEHP-containing leachate management
(2014-12)
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used plasticizer in the manufacture of polymeric materials such as polyvinyl chloride, was studied in order to understand its fate and transport in complex environments such as ...
Treatment train with tire crumb rubber and cyperus haspan: a new approach for remediation of explosives-containing water
(2014)
The objective of this work was to study the adsorption capacity of TNT and DNT by the use of tire crumb rubber (TCR) and the phytoremediation capacity of a native plant known as dwarf papyrus. Several batch and continuous-flow ...
Pervious concrete: Lab-scale optimization and field application
(2018-05)
Pervious concrete pavements mimic the way the natural land surfaces filter and clean the
water that falls on them, allowing a gradual discharge of water into the stormwater outlet,
decreasing the necessity of detention/retention ...
Impact assessment of the presence of engineered iron oxide nanoparticles on wastewater effluent disinfection
(2014)
A previous study indicated that ~8.7% wt. Fe of the initially dosed engineered iron oxide nanoparticles coated with surfactants (ENPFe-Surf), as contaminants, was present in the effluent from the lab-scale sequencing batch ...
Effect of engineering iron oxide nanoparticles on effluent water quality from biological wastewater treatment
(2013)
The production, use, and disposal of products containing nanoparticles may lead to their appearance in air, water, and soil, and subsequently in the human body. Because there is no existing regulation, large amounts of ...
Subsurface stormwater retention with pervious concrete pavement on UPRM campus master plan
(2018-05)
Pervious concrete pavement constitutes an efficient Best Management Practice (BMP)
stormwater management solution, since it serves to manage surface runoff quantitative and
qualitative characteristics at its earliest ...
Remediation of explosives-containing water using advanced oxidation and sorption processes
(2009)
The main objective of this work is to develop a procedure to degrade and remove explosives contained in water (ECW). Specifically, this investigation assessed the degradation and removal of TNT and DNT using advanced ...
Enhanced trichloroethylene remediation with a polymer-aided alcohol flushing
(2010)
In situ flushing for remediation of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) contaminated soil and groundwater is done by the injection of a solvent solution into the contaminated zone. The system is followed by downstream ...
Sand filtration and chlorination for removal and inactivation of Bacillus subtilis
(2015)
Sustainable water treatment and technology need to be implemented for safe-drinking water. In Puerto Rico, some rural communities do not rely on the central systems operated by the water authority but have their own small ...
