Assessing risk and potential reuse of hard rock mine drainage passive treatment residual solids
McCann, Justine (2021-08)Ecologically engineered mine drainage passive treatment systems rely on a series of biogeochemical reactions to decrease concentrations of ecotoxic trace metals and have proven to be an effective way to improve water quality ... -
Comparative Hydraulic and Cost Analyses of Single and Dual Water Distribution Systems Using Nonpotable Water for Urban Irrigation in Norman, Oklahoma
Way, Amanda (2017-12)Drought has caused water resource shortages throughout Western and Midwestern United States for many years, particularly in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Oklahoma. This has led many communities to evaluate alternate ... -
Determining the Feasibility of Best Available Treatment Versus Line Extension for Radionuclide Contamination in the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma Jurisdiction Area
McIntosh, Ashleigh (2019-05-10)This project aims to compare best available treatment (BAT) options to a line extension, therefore, presenting residents within the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma (KTO) jurisdictional area with the most effective, in terms of ... -
The Effect of Pore Water Evaporation on Transport of Caffeine, Propranolol, and Ciprofloxacin: A Sand Column Study and Model Simulation
Normile, Hayley (2016-12)The purpose of this study was to explore the transport of selected pharmaceuticals under saturated and unsaturated conditions, simulating environmental processes of evaporation and flooding. Caffeine (a stimulant), ... -
Evaluation of Phosphate Recovery and Release Performance of Calcium Silicate Hydrate Made From Rice Husk
Sharmin, Nusrat (2020)In this study, calcium silicate hydrate was synthesized using silica-rich rice husk for recovering phosphorus from wastewater and reusing it as fertilizer under simulated soil conditions. By controlling pH and inhibiting ... -
Making Satellite Sensors Better for Hydroclimatic Applications: Evaluation of NASA SMAP Soil Moisture Using Oklahoma’s Environmental Monitoring Network—MESONET
Xu, Chen (2017-12-15)Soil moisture, quantified as the ratio of liquid water to soil in volume or weight, is the measurement of the water that is held in the space between soil particles. Understanding the components of soil, particularly its ... -
Modeling and Evaluation of Constituents of Emerging Concern Through Wastewater Treatment Processes
Laubacher, Jason (2016-05-13)Constituents of emerging concern (CECs) have accumulated in drinking water source supply over the past decades. Although there are currently no established treatment standards, CECs should be of concern to the public and ... -
Quantifying Solar-Powered Removal of Aqueous and Gaseous Sulfide in a Mine Water Passive Treatment System
Wall, Taylor (2018-12-14)Passive treatment systems can improve water quality for mine water discharges. However, some process units, like vertical flow bioreactors (VFBRs), may produce excess sulfide, which can be a source of nuisance odors and ... -
SORPTION AND RELEASE OF NICKEL AND ZINC USING A MIXED ALGAE COMMUNITY COLLECTED FROM A MINE DRAINAGE PASSIVE TREATMENT SYSTEM
Fielding, Ellen (2017-05)Mine water from upwellings in Commerce Oklahoma is treated by the Mayer Ranch Passive Treatment System (MRPTS) to remove contaminants. The last treatment section of MRPTS is referred to as the polishing pond (also known ...
