Plating Wastewater Management, Earl Kenneth Ossorio
Plating Wastewater Management, Earl Kenneth Ossorio
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A study was made of existing methods of management, treatment and disposal of water and wastewater effluents at a large aerospace facility (Martin Marietta Aerospace) in Central Florida. Water consumption and handling were evaluated, with emphasis being placed on the handling of plating wastes, since they are the main contributor of industrial wastewater pollutants at the facility. The flow, storage, and treatment of the plating wastes were studied. Literature concerning plating wastes was surveyed to determine the latest "state of the art" on handling of plating pollutants. Then, the "state of the art" processes were compared with the existing processes …
Electromagnetic Fields In Water Treatment, Robert H. Fagan
Electromagnetic Fields In Water Treatment, Robert H. Fagan
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Properties and characteristics of colloidal systems are reviewed with a discussion of colloid systems to be found in natural and wastewaters. Current electric and magnetic field theory are reviewed and summarized to provide practical application of the theory to engineering problems in the environmental field. Literature of colloidal reactions to electrical and magnetic fields is discussed and reviewed to ascertain areas of potential application of electric and magnetic phenomena to natural and wastewater treatment systems having objectionable colloid suspensions. It is concluded that application of electrical fields (electrophoresis) does not currently hold much promise for practical applications in water treatment …

Analyses Of The Water And Wastewater Systems At Florida Technological University, Fred C. Jensen
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
In searching for a subject to meet the M. S. Degree Research Report requirements, I had several objectives in mind. I wanted (1) a project with relevancy in the environmental field which would broaden my understanding of the environmental systems which I have studied, (2) a subject which would allow me to apply some of the Principles which I have learned in Operations Research , and (3) a project which had good practical application. With these objectives in mind, I reviewed the suggested topics presented by the Faculty and selected the FTU Water and Wastewater System Analyses topic which was …
