Biodegradation of Soil Flushing Solutions

这是一个奖项，为规划一个 研究项目，研究生物过程， 表面活性剂溶液的处理， 从土壤中清除污染物。 特定污染物 她计划研究的是木馏油和生物过程 计划在测序批处理工作台中进行- 规模反应器 杂酚油是研究人员计划使用的土壤污染物 多年来一直被用作木材防腐剂 并污染了附近的许多土壤 进行木材防腐的设施。 结果 预计该项目将包括以下方面的初步数据： 在这种情况下，污染物可以 生物降解和一个完整的研究计划， 将按照所列条件雅阁给NSF NSF 90-121研究规划赠款和职业 女科学家和女工程师进步奖。

This is an award to provide support for planning a research project to study biological processes for treatment of surfactant solutions that have been used to flush contaminants from soil. The specific contaminant she plans to study is creosote and the biological process is planned to be conducted in a sequencing batch bench- scale reactor. Creosote, the soil contaminant the investigator plans to study, has been used as a wood preservative for many years and has contaminated much soil in the vicinity of installations conducting wood preservation. Results of this project are expected to include preliminary data on conditions under which this contaminant can be biologically degraded and a full research proposal that will be submitted to NSF in accord with conditions listed in NSF 90-121, Research Planning Grants and Career Advancement Awards for Women Scientists and Engineers.
