Recent advances on humic acid removal from wastewater using adsorption process
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Humic acid (HA) is a component of natural organic matter (NOM) with a high molecular weight and high complexity. The presence of humic acid in water raises serious concerns due to its toxicity and ability to form carcinogenic ...
Adsorption as a process for produced water treatment: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Produced water (PW) is a by-product of oil and gas operations, and its production is foreseen to increase in the upcoming years. Such an increase is justified by various entities through their projection of the expected ...

Carbon dots and their derivatives with fascinating photoluminescence properties have recently attracted tremendous scientific attention. This work describes the preparation of novel fluorescent bentonite clay (B), modified ...
Review on sustainable production of biochar through hydrothermal liquefaction: Physico-chemical properties and applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Other)
This review examines in detail the production and characteristics of biochar resulting from hydrothermal liquefaction. Specifically, the impact of feedstocks and different process parameters on the properties and yield of ...
Fluid-rock interactions in tight gas reservoirs: Wettability, pore structural alteration, and associated multiphysics transport
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Tight and unconventional reservoirs such as shales are rich in clay minerals that give rise to several fluid-rock interactions. The effect of such fluid-rock interactions is manifested at multiscales. The fluid-rock ...
A review on microwave-assisted synthesis of adsorbents and its application in the removal of water pollutants
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The use of conventional heating techniques in adsorbents preparation involves long synthesis time, high energy consumption, high cost and material fast firing. Recently, Microwave heating technique has been used to replace ...
Steel slag promoted electrocoagulation process for the treatment of produced water
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
Produced water is a by-product produced from the oil and gas industry. It poses a significant threat to the environment due to its high salinity and high pollutant concentration. In this paper, steel slag was used to enhance ...
