Tristin Pratt MS Defense - May 5th

Tristin Pratt - MS Defense Announcement Municipal Landfill Leachate Inorganic Analysis Focusing on Detecting Valuable Metals Major Professor: Dr. Inez Hua Friday, May 5th at 1:00 PM Zoom<https://bit.ly/41wqkFJ> Ecological Sciences and Engineering Interdisciplinary Graduate Program Division of Environmental and Ecological Engineering Abstract: Recent research suggests that waste electronics thrown away by consumers could amount to $37.5M of potentially recoverable metals in single landfill. Rare and useful metals may have a large variance in presence from one landfill to another depending on factors such as age and waste management policies. The EPA in 2018 reports that 2.51 million tons of nonferrous metals are generated in MSW landfills, which could contain ample opportunity for recovering metals of high economic value. The nonferrous waste metals include waste consumer electronic devices disposed to landfills, which contain critically important and rare metals. A method to completely dissolve and analyze pumped landfill leachate resulted in quantifiable and positive detections of Platinum, (Post-) Transition, and Lanthanide group metals in the landfill leachates. Everyone is welcome! Attached is the defense announcement.

ISF: Environmental Justice Research Community Callout
by Ledman, Amy L 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Good evening, The following is information regarding the kickoff event for ISF taking place September 15th. There’s also an attached flyer if you’re interested in joining. Amy Hi all, Ellen Wells and I invite you to attend a kickoff event for ISF's Environmental Justice Research Community on 9/15 from 8:30-9:30 a.m. in MRGN 129. Our research community is diverse, with members representing a variety of disciplines from across campus whose work touches the intersection of understanding how environmental hazards are distributed disproportionately in communities of color and low-income communities. As a learning community, we actively pursue a growth mindset toward environmental justice research and encourage you to help us grow our definition. So please join us whether you're an active scholar in this field or encountering health impacts of environmental hazards, community-based environmental monitoring, policy applications such as zoning or permitting regulations, or environmental hazards' social and cultural effects in your research. Best, Aaron Aaron Thompson, Ph.D. Associate Professor | Landscape Architecture Program Director, Center for Community & Environmental Design | https://www.purdue.edu/hla/sites/thompsonlab/ Department of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture| College of Agriculture Purdue University|625 Agricultural Mall Drive| HORT Room 223 Phone: 765.494.1324|E-mail: awthomps(a)purdue.edu<mailto:awthomps@purdue.edu>
