Design of Advanced Fibrous Based Material Systems to Meet the Critical Challenges in Water Quality and Carbon Dioxide Mitigation
Aminated polyacrylonitrile activated carbon fibers (N-ACF) coated on a non-woven fiberglass mat, displayed the ability to remove NOM more efficiently than granulated activated carbon or ion exchange beads at concentrations below 50 mg/L. Electrostatic attraction was found to be the dominant …

Potent but forgotten: nitrous oxide contributions by an ascidian on warming reefs
Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are driving global climate change and greatly impacting ecosystems. Although N2O has approximately 300 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide, mitigation strategies are lagging in …

Carbon Dioxide Flooding Induced Geochemical Changes in a Saline Carbonate Aquifer
<p> Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been injected into depleted oil reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery for several decades. Injection of CO2 into geologic formations in the Williston Basin is currently under consideration for long-term CO2 storage to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. …

A computational model for multi-objective optimization of zero emission power plants
Choosing among technologies is difficult and requires a means of making comparisons across different technologies. This dissertation proposes a new methodology to make comparisons across different technologies and across different times based on a user supplied set of evaluation criteria. A simple …
