This thesis concerns the observation and modeling of solute transport processes, focusing in particular on the theoretical formulation by means of travel and residence time distributions. The work reports and analyzes data collected from a controlled exper ...
This paper investigates age mixing processes arising in advection-dispersion models, where large-scale travel and residence time distributions can be explicitly calculated based on the underlying velocity field. In particular, we analyze spatially integrat ...
High-resolution X-ray computed tomography is employed to obtain the exact 3D geometrical configuration of porous anisotropic ceria applied in solar-driven thermochemical cycles for splitting H2O and CO2. The tomography data are, in turn, used in direct por ...
Many details about the flow of water in soils in a hillslope are unknowable given current technologies. One way of learning about the bulk effects of water velocity distributions on hillslopes is through the use of tracers. However, this paper will demonst ...
In this paper the mechanisms determining the mobilization and transport of solutes driven by rainfall through runoff pathways at catchment scales are investigated through the analysis of tracer experiments. The hydro-chemical response of a small catchment ...

Compliance with the U.S. drinking water standard for arsenic (As) of 10 μg L-1 is required in January 2006. This will necessitate implementation of treatment technologies for As removal by thousands of water suppliers. Although a variety of such technologi ...
The first part of this study consists in the investigation of the evaporation and the condensation rate of H2O in the presence of different types of ice in a low pressure flow reactor. The second part of the present work reports the study of chlorine activ ...
A model was developed to simultaneously assess Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst inactivation and bromate formation during ozonation of synthetic solutions in batch and flow-through reactors. The model incorporated 65 elementary chemical reactions involved in ...
Geomorphologic dispersion relates to the fraction of the variance of residence time distributions that can be directly linked to the heterogeneity of the paths available to hydrologic runoff of a river basin in response to suitable rainfall pulses. It thus ...
The aim of this work was to operate the steam reforming of methanol and the total oxidation of methanol in a microstructured two-passage reactor. The steam reforming enables the production of hydrogen at relatively low temperatures (250 °C) with only a sma ...
