Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
naerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ...
Optimal performance of single-column chromatography and simulated moving bed processes for the separation of optical isomers
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Chromatography has been established as the method of choice for the separation and purification of optically pure drugs which has a market size of about 250 billion USD. Single column chromatography (SCC) is commonly used ...
Photoactuating of materials designed for haptic aid-tablets for visually impaired people based on styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene block copolymer nanocomposites
(2013 , Article)
In this study, the photoactuation of styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene (SIS) block copolymer containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is shown. In order to improve dispersion, the MWCNT were ovalently modified either by ...
Electrical properties of lithium ferrite nanoparticles dispersed in a styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer matrix
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Book chapter)
The main goal of this work was the preparation and study of a composite material by dispersing lithium ferrite particles in a polymeric matrix. The matrix selected was styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene (SIS) copolymer. Lithium ...
Optimal Scheduling of Biodiesel Plants through Property-based Integration with Oil Refineries
(2011 , Book)
This paper addresses the design and scheduling problem of biodiesel plants in conjunction with typical oil refineries via blending of biodiesel and petro-diesel. The feedstocks are often seasonal and their availability and ...
Generic approach of using dynamic simulation for industrial emission reduction under abnormal operations: Scenario study of an ethylene plant start-up
(
American Chemical Society
, 2014 , Article)
Flare minimization under normal and abnormal operating conditions in large-scale industrial processes, especially for refineries and petrochemical plants, is a double-win practice, which simultaneously benefits industrial ...
In situ electron microscopy of Braille microsystems: Photoactuation of ethylene vinyl acetate/carbon nanotube composites
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
The development of new types of tactile displays based on the actuation of composite materials can aid the visually impaired. Micro/nano systems based on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymeric matrices enriched with ...
Single and multi-component adsorption of aromatic acids using an eco-friendly polyaniline-based biocomposite
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The polyaniline coated with an agricultural waste (Argan nut shell) was prepared via in-situ chemical polymerization and used as an adsorbent material for removal of trimellitic (Tri), hemimellitic (Hemi) and pyromellitic ...
Nonlinear direct inverse method: A shortcut method for simultaneous calibration and isotherm determination
(2013 , Article)
This work addresses a way to combine isotherm determination and nonlinear calibration. In this method, like the classical inverse method, experimental elution profiles are compared with the results of a detailed model that ...
The size and performance of offshore produced water oil-removal technologies for reinjection
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Produced water (PW) is wastewater generated from oil exploration, and requires treating for oil and suspended solids removal. The viability of an effluent treatment unit process for this duty is dependent both on its ...
