John E. Van BenschotenProfessor John E. Van Benschoten is currently Associate Professor of Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo . He joined the Department of Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering in 1988 after receiving his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Massachusetts. He has M.S. degrees from the University of Massachusetts (1985, Civil Engineering) and the University of Vermont (1983, School of Natural Resources), and a B.S. from Union College (1973, Industrial Economics). Dr. Van Benschoten's teaching interests include physical and chemical phenomena for water and wastewater treatment and process design. Courses taught include aquatic chemistry, water quality design, physical/chemical treatment processes, hydraulic engineering, and hazardous waste management. Recent research has focused on the heterogeneous sorption of metals in the environment, with applications to the transport of metals ions in groundwater and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Another recent research interest is in the application of fractal geometry concepts for the analysis of aquatic particles. Research also has been conducted in the control of nonindigenous species using chemical oxidants, removal of natural organic matter by coagulation processes, aluminum chemistry in water treatment, oxidation of iron and manganese, and beneficial use of water treatment residuals.
