Acquisition of Equipment for Upgrading the Analytical Support for the Environmental Engineering Program at the University of Houston

9512211西蒙斯这是一个奖项，旨在为购买分析设备提供支持，以支持休斯顿大学土木工程和环境工程系的环境工程项目。通过该奖项获得的研究设备将为五名教员和化学家提供增强的分析能力，他们正在进行以下方面的研究：水消毒副产品、去除有机溶剂污染物的地下水处理、地下水流动和质量模拟、从土壤和水中去除金属污染物的离子交换方法，以及净化土壤的界面现象模拟。获得这一奖项的提案是应国家科学基金会的仪器开发和获取征集，NSF 94-156，学术研究基础设施计划而提交的。这一奖项的结果预计将改善现代研究工具的可及性，供该机构的教职员工在进行具有环境意义的重要课题的研究和教育学生时使用。***

9512211 Symons This is an award to provide support for purchase of analytical equipment to be used in support of the University of Houston's environmental engineering program in its Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. The research equipment obtained through this award will provide enhanced analytical capability to five faculty and the staff chemist who are conducting research on water disinfection byproducts, groundwater treatment to remove organic solvent contaminants, groundwater flow and quality modeling, ion-exchange methods for removing metal contaminants from soil and water, and modeling of interfacial phenomena for decontaminating soil. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in response to the National Science Foundation's Instrumentation Development and Acquisition Solicitation, NSF 94-156, Academic Research Infrastructure Program. Results of this award are expected to improve the accessibility of modern research instrumentation for use by this institution's faculty in conducting research on important topics of environmental significance and in educating students. ***
