Two UCR students in the Rupiper Lab participated in 8-week funded undergraduate research programs this summer culminating in poster and oral presentations.

Students have been busy in the lab testing out different configurations, settings, and biochars to optimize the performance of a closed water loop three-phase ammonia air scrubber system. Preliminary results indicate that this system could economically replace conventional ammonia scrubbing systems with a significantly reduced environmental footprint.
