Effect of gas templating of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels on characteristics and performances of subsequent activated carbons
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Gas-templated resorcinol formaldehyde-activated carbon xerogels (GT-RF-ACXs) were prepared from resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels that were templated by infusing different gases (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, methane, ethylene, ...
Hierarchy based information requirements for sustainable operations of buildings in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Information flows in construction projects are generally focused on the needs of the design and construction phases. This creates disruption of workflows across the project stages and in particular with the information ...

The degradations of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) by advanced oxidation technology, solar advanced oxidation technology, biological treatment, and the combination of solar advanced oxidation technology and biological ...
Removal of disinfection by-product precursors by coagulation and an innovative suspended ion exchange process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This investigation aimed to compare the disinfection by-product formation potentials (DBPFPs) of three UK surface waters (1 upland reservoir and 2 lowland rivers) with differing characteristics treated by (a) a full scale ...
Novel methodology for facile fabrication of nanofiltration membranes based on nucleophilic nature of polydopamine
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Novel methodology for facilely fabricating nanofiltration (NF) composite membrane has been successfully developed by employing nucleophilic nature of polydopamine (PDA) chemistry. The self-polymerized PDA coating over ...
Mitigation of railway-induced vibration by using subgrade stiffening
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Railway-induced ground vibration is often associated with sites with soft ground. Stiffening of the subgrade beneath the railway track is one particular measure that has potential to reduce the vibration level at such ...
Coagulant recovery and reuse for drinking water treatment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Coagulant recovery and reuse from waterworks sludge has the potential to significantly reduce waste disposal and chemicals usage for water treatment. Drinking water regulations demand purification of recovered coagulant ...
Mathematical modeling based evaluation and simulation of boron removal in bioelectrochemical systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Boron removal is an arising issue in desalination plants due to boron's toxicity. As an emerging treatment concept, bioelectrochemical systems (BES) can achieve potentially cost-effective boron removal by taking advantage ...
Innovative method of metal coating of microcapsules containing phase change materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Microencapsulation of phase change materials (PCMs) is needed to prevent PCM leaking during melting. However, the low thermal conductivity of the microcapsules shell limits their applications. To enhance thermal conductivity ...
Mathematical modeling assisted investigation of forward osmosis as pretreatment for microbial desalination cells to achieve continuous water desalination and wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Coupling forward osmosis (FO) with microbial desalination cells (MDCs) can lead to some synergistic benefits, i.e. simultaneous water recovery, desalination and removal of COD (chemical oxygen demand). Herein, an FO-MDC ...
