A review of the development of regional sludge treatment centres and a baseline characterisation of Irish sewage sludges
(2003)
This Study assessed the development of sludge treatment and reuse policy since the
original 1993 National Sludge Strategy Report (Weston-FTA, 1993). A review of the 48
sludge treatment centres, current wastewater treatment ...
Sample preconcentration and matrix removal techniques for ultra-trace determinations by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ISP-MS)
(2003)
This thesis describes the design and application of a laboratory-based matrix
removal/preconcentration system using an iminodiacetate chelating ion exchange
reagent. The chelating ion exchange reagent selectively isolates ...
Investigation into the potential for establishing a self-sustainable wetland ecosystem over pyritic mine tailings
(2003-04)
Research was conducted to investigate the potential for ecologically engineering a sustainable wetland ecosystem over pyritic mine tailings to prevent the generation of acid mine drainage. Ecological engineering is ...
Pharmaceutical analysis by capillary electrophoresis
(2003)
This project focused on developing and validating analytical methods for a range of pharmaceutical
compounds using Capillary Electrophoresis.
Analytical methods for the determination of tromethamine, Oxytetracycline and ...
The appraisal of mesophilic anaerobic digestion and thermophilic aerobic digestion in the treatment of municipal sludge in Ireland
(2003-07)
It has been well documented that the optimum feedstock for anaerobic digesters consists of readily biodegradable compounds, as found in primary sludge or even a mixed substrate of primary and excess activated sludge. Due ...
An investigation of soil quality parameters relating to agricultural reuse and land disposal options for the management of biosolids
(2003-09)
Sludge provides valuable nutrients to soil. Application of sludge to land is subject to a number of limitations. Its use as a soil conditioner represents a "beneficial reuse option". Primary and secondary sludge from ...
