Abstract. The abundance of aerosol particles and their ability to catalyze ice nucleation are key parameters correctly understand describe the indirect effect on climate. Cirrus clouds strongly influence Earth's radiative budget, but is highly sensitive formation mechanism, which still poorly understood. Sulfate organics among most abundant components in troposphere have also been found cirrus ...

OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this project was to evaluate the feasibility of using heated iron oxide particles (HIOPs) in conjunction with various types of membranes to enhance natural organic matter (NOM) removal and reduce fouling of those membranes. Secondary objectives were to compare the behavior of HIOPs with that of powdered activated carbon (PAC) as additives to UF systems, and ...
