2016 The Garden Club of America Awards for Summer Environmental Studies
Omanjana Goswami is a first year PhD candidate in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University, Newark. She works with the environmental geochemistry group which focuses on studying phosphorus recovery mechanisms from wastewater. She studies the interactions between metal ions and the mineral struvite, which forms when equal amounts of ammonium, magnesium and phosphate are present in wastewater. She will sample wastewater, precipitate struvite from various sources, study metal-mineral interaction as struvite precipitates from wastewater, and characterize the product produced.
