Show moreDetection of ionizing radiation (X and gamma rays, proton and electron beams, etc.) has become an important technique in fields as diverse as medical imaging (CAT and PET scans), biology, chemistry, materials research, nuclear safety, particle physics, and industrial radiography. The IPRO team will research various detection techniques and construct and operate example detectors. The subject matter will include principles of radiation detection as well as associated electronics and real-time computer monitoring and control.

Show moreThe objective of this project is the design and cost estimation for various pollution control devices that can remove volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from ground water. Effective and efficient treatment methods are needed to meet this clean up challenge. Full-scale performance and cost data that minimizes energy requirements and documents the costs associated with design, construction, and operation will be required. Integration of various technologies and the application of unit operations involving adsorption, absorption, and biological reactor systems will be addressed. The need to address present and future environmental emission standards will be integrated into the design procedures. The design process will be part of a general evaluation of emission standards required for the control and removal of hazardous waste.

Show moreThe objective of this project is to design and provide an economic assessment of new flue gas cleanup processes to meet new and future environmental emissions standards. The issues to be considered in this project include technical viability, process integration, economic feasibility, and environmental disposal of waste streams. An economic assessment of the market-based prices of emissions allowances will be used to determine the best long-run strategy. An assessment will be made on the effects of implementation of new technologies on the cost of electricity for both low sulfur western coal, and high sulfur Illinois coal to determine if governmental incentives are needed to promote the use of Illinois coal. Students may focus on an existing power plant in Illinois which uses western coals and is not equipped with SOx/NOx/Hg control systems. Students are expected to use the principles of process design, to evaluate commercially available technologies for various pollutants or propose new approaches to the problem, integrate various technologies in the cleanup train, and perform an economic analysis of the overall processes.

Show moreStudents who join this IPRO team will gain experience in working with chemical and environmental engineering students on important issues that relate to designing chemical and environmental engineering processes. Studens on this project will be split into three different subteams: (a) Design and Evaluation of New Flue Gas Cleanup processes to meet new Environmental Regulations: The objective of this project is to design and provide an economic assessment of new flue gas cleanup processes to meet new and future environmental emissions standards. The issues to be considered in this project include technical viability, process integration, economic feasibility, and environmental disposal of waste streams. An economic assessment of the market-based prices of emissions allowances will be used to determine the best long-run strategy. An assessment will be made on the effects of implementation of new technologies on the cost of electricity for both low sulfur western coal, and high sulfur Illinois coal to determine if governmental incentives are needed to promote the use of Illinois coal. (b) Design and evaluation of engineering systems to control VOCs from groundwater: The objective of this project is the design and cost estimation for various pollution control devices that can remove volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from ground water. Effective and efficient treatment methods are needed to meet this clean up challenge. (c) Design of a Modern Hydrogen Production and Recovery Facility: The object of this project is to apply engineering principles of separation processes to recove pure hydrogen from mixed gases. This will include the availability and selection of a feed stream and an analysis of the feasibility and economics of commercial and innovative processed for the recovery operation.
