Advances in Tailoring Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Organic and Carbon Gels
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
An overview on the preparation and properties of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) organic and carbon gels reveals the fascinating and remarkably flexible properties of RF carbon and organic gels and how these properties are ...
Advanced Polymeric Materials with Exceptional Carbon Dioxide Capture Capacities
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from combustion of fossil based fuels increasing the atmospheric CO2 concentration (currently at 393 ppm) is indubitably an alarming environmental issue such as an irreversible ...
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 ...
Evaluating greywater and A/C condensate daily volume and water quality in urban settings
(
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Due to increasing water demand as a result of population growth and improvement in living standards, many countries with arid climate are already facing water shortages that are being met by expensive desalination projects. ...
Life cycle assessment of particulate recycled low density polyethylene and recycled polypropylene reinforced with talc and fiberglass
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Although recycled polymers and reinforced polymer composites have been in use for many years there is little information available on their environmental impacts. The goal of the present study is to analyze the environmental ...
Amidoximes: Promising candidates for CO 2 capture
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2011 , Article)
Monoethanolamine (MEA) dominates power plant carbon dioxide (CO 2) scrubbing processes, though with major disadvantages such as a 8-35% energy penalty. Here we report that structurally comparable amidoximes are promising ...
Impact of synthesis conditions on meso- and macropore structures of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels
(
Springer
, 2011 , Article)
Xerogels were prepared by the sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol with formaldehyde at different conditions. The effects of different synthesis factors (namely, resorcinol-to-formaldehyde ratio, resorcinol-to-water ratio, ...
Efficacy of TIO2 doped with copper for water disinfection
(
Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
, 2011 , Book chapter)
This research was conducted to improve titanium dioxide by transition metal doping using cooper. Sol gel method was used to prepare metal doped TIO2. Titanium isopropoxide and commercial TIO2 P25 were employed as catalyst ...
A review on composite materials based on recycled thermoplastics and glass fibres
(2011 , Article Review)
Mechanical properties The purpose of this paper is to review recent work on composite materials based on recycled thermoplastics and glass fibres (GFs). The high collection and separation cost of plastics waste, and the ...
Study on hydroxylammonium-based ionic liquids. II. Computational analysis of CO2 absorption
(
American Chemical Society
, 2011 , Article)
In the previous work of this series, we reported a wide experimental and computational analysis of the properties of hydroxylammonium-based ionic liquids. This family of ionic liquids shows very favorable economical, ...
