Treatment of biomass-derived synthesis gas using commercial steam reforming catalysts and biochar
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The destruction of tars is a crucial technological barrier for the development and further commercialization of biomass gasification. The decomposition of tar compounds using catalysts is a ...
Soil pathogen fate and transport: Biopores facilitating Escherichia coli transport
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Laboratory and field experiments, and computational model.
Assessing the energy consumption efficiency, irrigation application uniformity and life cycle assessment of groundwater-based irrigation systems in Oklahoma
(2018-12)
Irrigation systems across Oklahoma were tested from 2015 to 2018 with the aim of determining their energy consumption efficiencies, irrigation uniformities, and application efficiencies. The actual Overall Pumping Efficiency ...
Properties of gasification-derived char and its utilization for catalytic tar reforming
(2015-05)
Char is a low-value byproduct of biomass gasification and pyrolysis with many potential applications, such as soil amendment and the synthesis of activated carbon. The overall goal of the proposed research was to develop ...
Quantifying groundwater interaction with streams and thermal regime implications
(2017-12)
Groundwater interaction plays an essential role in aquatic ecosystems and is involved in a range of water quantity and quality issues. However, quantifying stream-groundwater interactions has been difficult and labor ...
Enhanced alcohol production during syngas fermentation using biochar
(2018-07)
Microbial fermentation of syngas (mainly CO, H2 and CO2) into biofuels (ethanol, butanol, etc.) and chemicals (carboxylic acids, 2,3-butanediol, etc.) is a flexible and promising route for producing liquid biofuels and ...
Experimental investigation and simulation of a fluidized-bed gasifier using switchgrass
(2013-12)
The overall goal of this research was to improve and optimize yield and composition of syngas generated from biomass gasification using an autothermal lab-scale fluidized-bed gasifier, and to develop a biomass gasification ...
Quantifying phosphorus loads and streambank erosion in the Ozark Highland Ecoregion using the SWAT model
(2015-12)
Phosphorus (P) and sediment are major pollutants of waterbodies in the United States. Recent research has shown that future management practices must consider legacy P, especially from streambanks. Identifying and quantifying ...
Evaluation of established low impact development techniques: Assessing aged bioretention cells and clogging pervious concrete
(2017-12)
Low impact development practices are commonly installed to mitigate the negative impacts urbanization can have on stormwater runoff and the environment. Research on the long-term performance of aged low impact development ...
In-orchard imaging of pecan weevil and efficient identification using orthogonal polar moment descriptors
(2015-12)
The pecan weevil is considered the most harmful late season pest of pecan and requires population monitoring in orchards for proper pest management practices. In this research, algorithms for detecting and identifying pecan ...
