Fate and Transport of Naphthenic Acids in Glacial Aquifers
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Naphthenic acids (NAs) are carboxylated alkanes and cycloalkanes concentrated in wastewater during oil sands processing. The general chemical formula is C{n}H{n+Z}O{2}, where n represents the number of carbon atoms and ... -
Impact of Anaerobic Biofilm Formation on Sorption Characteristics of Powdered Activated Carbon
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-23)Subsurface contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) results from the leakage of petroleum products during extraction, processing or transport. It has been documented that activated carbon (AC) can effectively sorb ... -
Preparation of Copolymers of Acrylic Acid and Acrylamide for Copper (II) Capture from Aqueous Solutions
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-27)Cross-linked copolymers of acrylic acid (sodium acrylate) and acrylamide were synthesized by free radical polymerization. The copolymer hydrogel was studied for capture of copper ion from aqueous solution. Effects of ... -
Removal of Bromophenols from Wastewater by Sorption
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)Poly(ether-block-amide) copolymer (PEBA) was used as an adsorbent for sorptive removal of bromophenols, particularly 4-bromophenol (BP), 2,6-dibromophenol (DBP), and 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) from wastewater. Batch sorption ... -
Sorptive Removal of 4-Aminophenol from Water Using a Polymeric Sorbent
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)This study deals with isotherm, kinetics and mechanistic studies pertaining to the sorption of 4-aminophenol from water using poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBA). A combined Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model is used to ...
