(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1975-05) -
Computational chemistry approaches to evaluating drinking water treatment processes for emerging contaminants
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Computational chemistry techniques are implemented via quantitative structure-property and structure-activity relationships (QSPR/QSARs) to relate compound characteristics and properties of the EDC/PPCPs to their removal ... -
Cross-flow lamellar sedimentation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1981-05) -
Determination of the capability of constructed wetland components to remove 17α-ethynylestradiol and β-estradiol from wastewater
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)The removal was quantified over fifteen weeks from a set starting concentration of approximately 10 mg/L (concentration known) combined β-estradiol and 17α-ethynylestradiol contained in a batch reactor system. Another goal ... -
Effect of vanillin on quorum sensing of Aeromonas hydrophila in porous media
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Biological clogging "bioclogging" is the occupation of pore space between soil particles by biological material including microorganisms and their associated structures. Substances, both synthesized and naturally occurring, ... -
Evaluation of BOD, SS, N and P loadings into Lower Hudson River Basin from point and non-point sources
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1994-12)This study showed that municipal point source wastewater flows to the lower Hudson River basin increased from 32 MGD (121 x 10⁶ Lid) in 1900 to 266 MOD (1,007 x 10⁶ L/d) in 1993. BOD and suspended solids loadings increased ... -
