Development of New Wastewater Treatment Technologies
Wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly important due to diminishing of water
resources, escalation of disposal costs, and implantation of strict discharge regulations.
The treatment of wastewater for disposal or recycle is especially important to Wyoming,
a semi-arid hydroclimatic region. The research team has been studying different cost-effective
technologies such as sorption to addresses the challenging issues associated with
treatment and management of wastewater generated from various processes especially
those related to energy production.

Development of Cost-Effective Hg Removal Processes
Mercury is one of the increasingly concerned pollutants emitted from different industries
such as coal-based power plants. Capture of low-concentration Hg in large-volume waste
gas streams is expensive. The research group is actively involved in the development
of inexpensive solid Hg sorbents.
