Room-temperature development of thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes from cellulose acetate with antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
A cellulose acetate thin film composite (CA TFC) membrane was developed by direct casting of CA onto an ultrafiltration membrane support. The flux through the CA TFC membrane was, as expected, inversely proportional to the ...
Effect of operational parameters on distillate flux in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD): Comparison between experimental and model predicted performance
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven process where hydrophobic membranes are used to separate saline hot feed solution and cold stream of water and allow water to evaporate due to temperature difference. This ...
Field evaluation of membrane distillation technologies for desalination of highly saline brines
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a hybrid thermal-membrane desalination process that uses low-grade waste heat and hydrophobic membrane to produce high quality distillate. The MD process can treat highly saline brines that ...
Inquiry guided learning in a chemical engineering core curriculum: General instructional approach and specific application to the fluid mechanics case
(
Tempus Publications
, 2014 , Article)
This paper presents results from a preliminary study of the effectiveness of using inquiry-guided learning instructional strategies both in chemical engineering classrooms and laboratories. For readers unfamiliar with the ...
Structure of alkylcarbonate + n-alkane mixed fluids
(
American Chemical Society
, 2014 , Article)
The properties of dialkylcarbonate + n-alkane mixed fluids were studied both from macroscopic and from microscopic viewpoints using thermophysical measurements combined with classic molecular dynamics simulations and DFT ...
Insights from quantum chemistry into piperazine-based ionic liquids and their behavior with regard to CO2
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
The short-range properties of alkylpiperazine ionic liquids paired with propionate and lactate anions were analyzed and their affinity for CO 2 molecules studied using density functional theory. Anion-cation interactions ...
Molecular and electronic structure elucidation of Fe2+/Fe3+ complexed chelators used in iron sulphide scale removal in oil and gas wells
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Quantum chemical calculations based on DFT are employed to study the electronic structure and binding affinity of chelators used in the removal of iron sulphide scales. Three chelating agents, EDTA, HEDTA, and DTPA, are ...
A quantum chemistry study of natural gas hydrates
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
The structure and properties of natural gas hydrates containing hydrocarbons, CO2, and N2 molecules were studied by using computational quantum chemistry methods via the density functional theory approach. All host cages ...
Removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) pollutants from water by novel TiO2-Coconut Shell Powder (TCNSP) composite
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2014 , Article)
Photocatlytic removal of three pharmaceutical and personal care products pollutants using novel TiO2–Coconut Shell Powder (TCNSP) composite was investigated. The photocatalytic degradation rate of PPCPs generally increased ...
Theoretical study on the solvation of C60 fullerene by ionic liquids
(
American Chemical Society
, 2014 , Article)
The solvation of C60 fullerene by 24 different ionic liquids belonging to the imidazolium, piperazinium, and cholinium families was analyzed from a nanoscopic viewpoint using classic molecular dynamics simulations and ...
