Modeling sorption of select basic dyes onto alternative materials
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)This study aims to identify and analyze potential alternative sorbents for basic dye removal from effluents. The textile industry releases large volumes of dye containing effluent every year. These dyes are designed to be ... -
Multi-criteria decision analysis to assess remediation alternatives for PCDD/F contaminated soils : application to a swedish sawmill site
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)Available data suggest that there are millions of contaminated sites around the world. In virtually all cases, decisions about remedial actions are made as a result of an often-protracted process in which many criteria ... -
Normal alkane hydrocarbons in Lake George sediments
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1973-06) -
Nutrient effects on phytoplanktonic primary production in the Lake George ecosystem
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-08) -
Optimization of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) for growing crops
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is a rapidly growing production system that promotes food security, environmental stewardship, and efficient resource use. According to a recent report, global market for CEA is ... -
Phosphorus and nitrogen loading and nutrient budget on Lake George, N.Y.
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1974-08) -
Removal of Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) in a lab-scale ecological wastewater treatment system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)It is important to understand the fate of Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) in wastewater treatment system due to its persistence and the harmful effects that it might cause to the humans and nature. Laboratory experiments ... -
Saratoga Lake
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1974-04) -
Selective dissolution of iron minerals in acid mine drainage and iron-oxidizing microbial communities for the purpose of measuring nanowire conductivity
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Similar structures were detected in neutrophilic iron-oxidizing cultures that were treated with 200 mM ammonium oxalate solution to gently dissolve biogenic minerals that would otherwise obscure visualization of the ... -
Sorption of aromatic amines in engineered and natural systems : development of a time-dependent multiparameter model
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
Tailoring filtration membranes using photo-induced graft polymerization to reduce fouling by natural organic matter and proteins, and to manage risk of EPA candidate contaminants
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
The hydrology of Lake George, New York
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1971-06) -
The peroxy-acid treatment of select polychlorinated biphenyls
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
The peroxy-acid treatment process : an investigation of process mechanics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
The phosphorus release from deep water sediments in an oligotrophic lake and its relationship to the oxygen depletion in the overlying water
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1992-05) -
Translocation and attenutation of wastewater phosphorus in streams
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1977-05)Non-parametric statistical methods were used to identify the significance (at the 0.05 level) of differences between upstream (below each waste discharge) and downstream (at the end of each study reach) concentrations and ... -
Ultrafitration surface modification for fouling mitigation with applications to water reuse
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)The second goal was to improve the MFC cathode by developing a three-layer composite membrane that includes antifouling, electron conductive, and oxygen reducing properties. To achieve these goals, we prepared a modifying ... -
Visualization of artifacts in research on bioclogging of natural porous media
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)Experimental results gave light on a number of artifacts and system design flaws including pressure drop measurements, uneven spread of microbes in the subsurface, and contamination of nutrient sources. Additionally, ... -
Wind, marine and hydrokinetic energy plans proposed for Hartford, Rome and Shanghai
