“UW to Host Distinguished Environmental Engineering Lecture”August 27. 2009 -The UW College of Engineering and Applied Science, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, has been selected to host the 2009-2010 Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) Distinguished Lecturer for 2009-2010. AEESP consists of and serves professors and students in academic programs throughout the world, providing education in environmental engineering and related fields (www.aeesp.org). Dr. Mark M. Benjamin of the University of Washington will deliver the lecture on Wednesday, September 9, at 12 noon in Room 310 of the UW Classroom Building in Laramie entitled “Micro-Granular Adsorptive Membrane Filtration: A Whole New World of Treatment Technologies?” His talk will describe various ways in which his research team has used adsorption to address the problem of membrane fouling in water and wastewater systems and will explore both theoretical and practical issues involved in large-scale application of micro-sized packed beds. Dr. Benjamin is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle and a recognized expert in the areas of membrane processes and water chemistry. He received a B.S. in chemical engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical and civil engineering, respectively, from Stanford University. Benjamin’s research interests include physical-chemical treatment processes, natural organic matter chemistry and behavior in water treatment systems, adsorption and ion exchange, membrane-based technologies for water and wastewater treatment, removal of metals from water, and formation of disinfection by-products. He is author of the widely used textbook Water Chemistry published in the McGraw-Hill Series in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering. |
