This proposal seeks funding to develop a series of experiments for a required undergraduate laboratory offered to students in the department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona. Specifically, these experiments will be of both a bench-scale and a "unit operations" type, and will provide ChE students experience in dealing with environmental problems from a process orientation. These experiments will impact two undergraduate courses which are required for a BS ChE degree. Affected will be the Science Lab, ChEE 307 and the Unit Operations Lab, ChEE 304. The two basic areas in which new experiments are proposed are "Bioremediation" and "Air Pollution Control". Within the bioremediation area, we propose to purchase ancillary equipment for our current Bioprocessing Facility, as well as equipment to establish five fermentation lab-stations. With these experiments, we hope to emphasize the biological aspects of environmental engineering, while at the same time introducing students to basic principles of biotechnology. Within the Air Pollution Control area, we propose to purchase ancillary equipment for improving current gas absorption experiments in the ChEE 304 lab (directing this experiment towards an environmental application), and equipment to initiate a detailed combustion experiment, also for use in the ChE Unit Operations Labs.

该提案旨在为亚利桑那大学化学与环境工程系的学生提供所需的本科实验室提供一系列实验。具体而言，这些实验将是一个实验室规模和一个“单位 操作”类型，并将提供ChE学生从过程导向处理环境问题的经验。这些实验将影响两个本科课程，这是一个学士学位所需的。受影响的将是科学实验室，ChEE 307和单元操作实验室，ChEE 304。 建议进行新实验的两个基本领域是“生物修复”和“空气污染控制”。在生物修复领域，我们建议为我们目前的生物处理设施购买辅助设备，以及建立五个发酵实验室站的设备。通过这些实验，我们希望强调环境工程的生物学方面，同时向学生介绍生物技术的基本原理。在空气污染控制领域，我们建议购买辅助设备，用于改善ChEE 304实验室当前的气体吸收实验（将该实验引向环境应用），以及用于启动详细燃烧实验的设备，也用于ChE单元操作实验室。
