Environmental remediation and biofuel production through nanoparticle stimulation of yeast
Artificially photosynthetic systems aim to store solar energy and chemically reduce carbon dioxide. These systems have been developed in order to use light to drive processes for carbon fixation into biomass and/or liquid fuels. We have developed a hybrid-biological system that manages both …

The development of magnetic particle technology for application to environmental remediation
… application of magnetic particle technology to environmental and wildlife remediation has been explored. Initial studies have been carried out on the ability of iron particles with polyethylene (PE) or polyvinylchloride (PVC) to magnetically harvest various contaminants. In this context, methods …

Synthesis and characterisation of silica adsorption platforms for use in environmental remediation
In this work a new method of production of MCM-41 was used which involved synthesis under mild conditions (room temperature) and shorter reaction times as well as reduced surfactant removal times (15 min) compared to the previously published methods that take approximately 10 h. This material was …

Environmental Remediation with Fenton Reagents and Synthesis of a Novel Halide Fluorescence Sensor
Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) and humic acid (SRHA) were used as dissolved organic matter (DOM) and were applied to probe the effect of DOM. Addition of DOM resulted in decreased first order rate constants for all species selected. The inhibition became more significant as the hydrophobicity of …
