Bio-Inspired Fabrication of Ultrafiltration Membranes incorporating Polydopamine Functionalized Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Novel PSF composite UF membranes incorporating low loadings of polydopamine-functionalized graphene oxide particles (rGO-PDA) were fabricated and investigated. The functionalization was confirmed using FTIR-UATR, Raman ...
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 ...
