Utilization of biochars as sustainable catalysts for upgrading of glycerol from biodiesel production
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Abundant bioglycerol generated via transesterification of triglycerides was used to synthesize valuable glycerol carbonate, GC. This was achieved by pyrolyzing cow dung (CDB) and fish scale (FSB) biowastes at various ...
Mesoporous biohybrid epichlorohydrin crosslinked chitosan/carbon clay adsorbent for effective cationic and anionic dyes adsorption
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Epichlorohydrin crosslinked chitosan/carbon–clay (CSCC) biohybrid adsorbent was prepared for the adsorption of cationic methylene blue (MB) and anionic azo acid blue 29 (AB 29). The 40:60 wt% of chitosan (CS) and carbon–clay ...
Comparative Investigation of the Physicochemical Properties of Chars Produced by Hydrothermal Carbonization, Pyrolysis, and Microwave-Induced Pyrolysis of Food Waste
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
This work presents a comparative study of the physicochemical properties of chars derived by three thermochemical pathways, namely: hydrothermal carbonization, HTC (at 180, 200 and 220 °C), pyrolysis, PY, (at 500, 600 and ...
Adsorption of endocrine disrupting compounds and other emerging contaminants using lignocellulosic biomass-derived porous carbons: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Hydrochars from lignocellulose biomass have received an upsurge of interest in different fields, especially in the area of adsorption. Hydrothermally produced hydrochars are effective adsorbents for removing different ...
Bio self-healing concrete using MICP by an indigenous Bacillus cereus strain isolated from Qatari soil
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In this study, the self-healing process in concrete through microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) performed by an adapted indigenous strain of Bacillus cereus isolated from soils in Qatar was investigated. ...
Solid Sorbents as a Retrofit Technology for CO2 Removal from Natural Gas Under High Pressure and Temperature Conditions
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
The capture of CO2 under high pressure and temperature is challenging and is required in a number for industrial applications including natural gas processing. In this work, we examine the use of benchmark hybrid ultraporous ...
Removal of copper ions from aqueous solution using NaOH-treated rice husk
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
The present study investigates the removal of copper ions (Cu (II)) from aqueous solution using chemically treated rice husk (TRH). The chemical treatment was carried out using NaOH solution and the effect of contact time ...
