个人简介

Cherie L. Geiger’s research focuses on materials development for environmental and defense department applications. Currently, she is involved with several research projects. First, she is working with the synthesis and characterization of new nanometer size catalyst systems that are capable of being used with current green chemistry industrial chemical processes. She is also interested in the development of catalytic, active emulsion systems that are capable of removing and destroying PCBs from painted surfaces, soils, and sediments, as well as catalytic active emulsion systems for removing heavy metal ions from soils and sediments in fresh water and marine environments. Finally, she is working on the synthesis and characterization of new, high-efficient and environment-friendly materials for use as screening aerosols in the infrared and millimeter wavelength regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Most notably, Geiger held develop a process for using hydrogen peroxide to reduce volatile organic compound emissions from incinerators, a process for using ultrasound to regenerate the activity of permeable reactive barriers, and a catalytic reactive emulsion system that is capable of extraction and degradation of PCBs from painted surfaces. She was also involved with the development of a catalytic reactive emulsion systems that are capable of in situ dehalogenation of chlorinated hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls in contaminated soils and sediments.
