Engineering Research Equipment: Trace Organic Analytical System for the Environmental and Hazardous Materials (EHM) Laboratory

9700139 Veenstra这一奖项是为了协助购买设备，以进行由七名共同调查人员进行的研究，他们正在调查有机化合物释放到生物圈时的命运，以及净化土壤的概念，以及通过生产过程的改变和过程残留物的处理来减少或防止环境污染。土木与环境工程学院和化学工程学院的共同研究人员正在进行的项目包括开发一种新型颗粒活性炭再生工艺，使用交流等离子体反应器处理挥发性潜在空气污染物，生物处理弹药生产过程中产生的污染物污染的土壤，开发用于处理含有潜在空气污染物的气体的生物过滤工艺，并开发一种制造环己烷的工艺，以尽量减少环境污染物的产生。该提案是根据NSF 93-155“研究设备资助计划”提交的。该奖项将协助七名参与研究的共同研究人员使用从该奖项获得的设备进行研究，以提高他们的竞争力、效率和产出。该设备还将提高研究生和本科生的教育能力。＊＊＊

9700139 Veenstra This is an award to assist in the purchase of equipment for conduct of research being conducted by seven co-investigators who are investigating the fate of organic compounds when released into the biosphere and concepts to decontaminate soil and to reduce or prevent environmental pollution by production process changes and by treatment of process residuals. The projects being conducted by co-investigators from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the School of Chemical Engineering include development of a novel granular activated carbon regeneration process, use of alternating current plasma reactors for treatment of volatile potential air pollutants, biological treatment of soil contaminated by pollutants produced during production of munitions, development of a biofiltration process for treatment of gases containing potential air pollutants and development of a process for manufacture of sulfolane to minimize production of environmental pollutants. The proposal leading to this award, was submitted in response to NSF 93-155, Research Equipment Grant Program. This award will assist the seven co-investigators involved in conducting research using equipment obtained with assistance from this award to increase their competitiveness, efficiency and output. The equipment will also enhance capabilities for education of graduate and undergraduate students. ***
