Dr. Frank Nkansah-Boadu
- PhD in Chemical and Biological at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver
- PhD Thesis involved the removal of selenium from coal mining wastewater particularly that of Tech Resources, B.C.
Frank studies on wastewater treatment for the mining industry reveals the positive impact of biological treatment using native mine bacteria for the removal of selenium in the presence of co-contaminants especially nitrate. Biological treatment to remove selenium from coal mining wastewater is challenged by the presence of competing constituents, especially nitrate which is a common co-contaminant in mining wastewater. Frank research enriched microorganisms from coal mine seepage for the removal of selenium in the presence of nitrate from coal mining wastewater.
