EDWARD
M. TRUJILLO, Associate Professor
Department of Chemical Engineering
University of Utah
B.S. Chemical Engineering, University of Arizona, 1969
M.S. Chemical Engineering, California Institute of
Technology, 1970
Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, University of Utah, 1975
BACKGROUND:
Experience in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, biotechnology,
biosorption, biokinetics, bioseparations, and enhanced oil recovery.
RESEARCH PROJECTS:
 | Development of biogeochemical acid mine drainage mathematical models in collaboration
with Chevron Mining Inc. that
describe humidity cell experiments and actual waste rock dump sites. |
 | Investigating the multicomponent adsorption of heavy metals from waste waters using
immobilized biomass beads. Development of multicomponent mathematical models describing
batch adsorption and column operation. |
 | Development and modeling of an improved system for the oxygenation of anchorage-dependent mammalian
cells using perfluorocarbons and perfluoroalkylated proteins.
OTHER AREAS OF INTEREST: |
 | Supercritical fluid extraction of plants |
 | Removal of Selenium from wastewaters using a redox process |
 | Measurement of high osmotic pressures |
 | Enhanced oil recovery - principally polymer flooding and alkaline flooding |
