A Pilot Scale Study of Denitrifying Bioreactors Paired with Phosphate Sorbents
Lindley, Ann Marie (East Carolina University, 2023-08-18)Denitrifying bioreactors are commonly utilized as a best management practice in agricultural systems to reduce nitrate in drainage waters. The USDA recommends the utilization of woodchips as a carbonaceous substrate to ... -
Effects of influent composition and substrate type on nitrate and Escherichia coli removal in laboratory-scale denitrifying bioreactors
Brink, Shannon Elizabeth (East Carolina University, 2023-01-05)Escherichia coli (E. coli) and nitrate (NO3-) are common contaminants found in waters down gradient of wastewater sources such as septic tanks and agricultural operations. Carbon-rich subsurface denitrifying bioreactors ... -
Responses in Baseflow Nitrogen Concentrations to Wastewater Management Approaches in the North Carolina Piedmont
Richardson, Jennifer (East Carolina University, 2023-01-04)Falls Lake is currently classified as impaired because of elevated chlorophyll-a and turbidity levels associated with excess nutrient inputs. Anthropogenic and natural inputs of nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), into ...
