Arsenic Research Team Contribution (Imtiaz Karim, imk27@cornell.edu)
As a member of the arsenic research group, I hope to use the knowledge that I gained from the CEE 4540 course last fall, along with new research to help develop methods to test for the removal of arsenic from groundwater. We will look into possibly using a water pre-treatment/coagulant combination to remove arsenic from the system. The goal this semester is to do the research and create a way for the next arsenic team to begin testing using a benchtop water treatment system (to keep the dynamics as close to a real system as possible).
