Highly reactive OH radicals facilitate advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) [1]. AOPs are irreplaceable in environmental remediation including but not limited to pollutant degradation [2]. H2O2 leading to OH radicals in ...

This study investigates and compares microwave heating radiation with conventional heating. Incinerated Municipal Solid Waste (IMSW) bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA) was utilized to to recover various metals including Co, ...

Reverse osmosis(RO) is considered as the most widely utilized technique worldwide for water treatment. However, the commercial thin-film composite(TFC) membranes, which are normally made of polyamide (PA) through interfacial ...

In this work we investigate the use of NiCo bimetal/oxide as catalyst for hydrogen production from ethanol, with a focus on the deactivation pattern and the nature of the observed carbon deposition [1, 2]. It is well known ...

Silver nanoparticles have been the focus of extensive research for many decades due to their unique physical, chemical and electrical properties. Introducing new environmentally benign methods for the synthesis of silver ...

Microalgae are believed to be a promising sources of different high value products (HVP). HVP are metabolites which are produced during the growth of microalgae and their production is triggered by the physiochemical growth ...

A broad diversity of microorganisms can be found in soil, where they are essential for nutrient cycling and energy transfer. Recent high-throughput sequencing methods have greatly advanced our knowledge about how soil, ...

Extending into the Arabian Gulf, Qatar is surrounded by a number of islands mostly scattered by the eastern coastline. With the unique physical characteristics of the Gulf which is a highly saline sea with high seawater ...

The origin of dolomite -a common carbonate mineral- is the subject of an ongoing debate. It has been proposed that extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) excreted by microbes contain specific organic molecules that ...
