  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BIOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION, CONCENTRATION, AND RECOVERY OF SELENIUM FROM WASTEWATER
    Publication number: 20240101456
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for biological wastewater treatment for Se control in Se-laden wastewater. The Se contaminants in the wastewater include the Se oxyanions selenate (SeO42-) and selenite (HSeO3?), which are biochemically reduced and transformed to elemental selenium (Se0) by microorganisms through anaerobic biological reduction. The resulting Se0 is entrained in the biomass, which is further processed to enable the efficient recovery of concentrated Se0.

  • System and method for assessing and improving the extent of diversity in business organizations
    Publication number: 20060136240
    Abstract: A system and method of evaluating and enhancing diversity of an entity utilizes employee responses, entity self-assessment responses and relevant objective data to determine a rating indicative of a current level of diversity. The responses and data can be analyzed to determine steps to be taken to enhance the current level of diversity. Subsequent to the steps having been taken, another rating can be determined indicative of a most recent level of diversity. The most recent level of diversity can be compared with the prior level to evaluate progress from one level to another.
