Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine when vitamins are added to various polluted Artemia salina (Brine Shrimp) habitats, if the added nutrients would increase the amount of hatched B…
CSEF · 2015
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals The objective was to determine if ferrofluid and magnets will work as efficient agents to remove oil from water and to determine if the match between the type of oil spilled…
CSEF · 2015
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals Finding a way to decontaminate oil-polluted water would benefit the health of aquatic organisms as well as the quality of the water. An attempt is made here to use ferromagn…
