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

9700139 Veenstra这是一个奖项，用于帮助购买设备进行研究，这些设备由七名合作调查员进行，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，以及通过生产工艺变化和工艺残渣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合作研究人员正在开展的项目包括：开发一种新的颗粒活性碳再生工艺、使用交流等离子反应堆处理挥发性潜在空气污染物、对被生产弹药过程中产生的污染物污染的土壤进行生物处理、开发一种生物过滤工艺以处理含有潜在空气污染物的气体，以及开发一种生产环丁磺酸的工艺以尽量减少环境污染物的产生。导致这一奖项的提案是为了响应NSF 93-155研究设备资助计划而提交的。这一奖项将帮助参与研究的七名合作调查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。这些设备还将增强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. ***
