Butylated hydroxyanisole

Project information:
The objective of this project is to study contaminated water and how to remove these
contaminants. It is well known that water contamination is one of the most challenging
problem facing us as these contaminants have direct impact on quality of life across the
globe.
In this project, each student will be assigned a common contaminant in water and
student should write a report on this contaminant that focuses on application of mass
transfer methodologies to remove this contaminant from water.
Project policies:
1) Student is encouraged to use all available resources as long as they are retrieved
and cited accordingly
2) The final report must be fully written by the student alone.
3) The report must address the following technical points:
a. Structure of the molecule
b. Physical properties of the molecule (molecular mass, density, state…etc)
c. Thermodynamics properties like solubility in water (if available)
d. Sources of these contaminants (factories, sewage, agricultural
activities..etc)
e. Proposed method to remove this containment from water based on your
understanding of mass transfer operations
f. A reported method to remove this contaminant (a technology or a
research paper suggesting a way to remove it)
4) The report should contain useful information with supporting figures. It is
expected that the text‐to‐figure ratio is reasonable and rational. Too little text is
not accepted, and too much figures is not accepted either. A reasonable ratio is
70% text and the rest figures.
5) The report should be 6 pages total.
6) The project is due on April 5th, 2020
7) Make sure that your report is legible and logical.
