Effect of expandable graphite on thermal and flammability properties of poly(lactic acid)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) blend systems
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of expandable graphite (EG) on the flammability and thermal stability of a poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) blend was investigated. The samples were prepared by melt-mixing and characterized ...
Sustainable agriculture in the Arabian/Persian Gulf region utilizing marginal water resources: Making the best of a bad situation
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article Review)
One way to encourage agricultural self-sufficiency in arid regions is to increase the productivity of conventional freshwater agriculture. Another way is to develop and implement novel strategies and technologies that do ...
Dilution of seawater using dewatered construction water in a hybrid forward osmosis system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, dewatered construction water was used for the first time as the feed solution in a combined pretreatment-forward osmosis process to dilute seawater (i.e. draw solution) for further desalination. It was found ...
Adsorption
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Removing of wastewater pollutants by novel adsorption techniques is urgent as they are continuously defiling the limited freshwater resources, seriously affecting the terrestrial, ecosystems, aquatic, and aerial flora and ...
The impact of mechanically-imposed shear on clogging, fouling and energy demand for an immersed membrane bioreactor
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
The impact of the application of mechanically-imposed shear on the propensity for fouling and clogging (or “sludging”—the agglomeration of sludge solids in the membrane channel) of an immersed flat sheet (iFS) membrane ...
Synthesis and characterization of Sm3+-doped ZnO nanoparticles via a sol–gel method and their photocatalytic application
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract: Spherical ZnO nanoparticles doped by samarium ions were successfully synthesized via a simple sol–gel method. The structures, morphologies, optical properties and surface areas were investigated for all samples ...
