Microbial Desalination Cell: A Sustainable Approach For Brackish Water Desalination And Wastewater Treatment With Bioelectricity Generation
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The shortage of the fresh water has become a more and more serious issue because of the rapid increase in human population and resource consumption. Although water is an abundant natural resource available in the earth, ...
Promising And Anomalous Structural And Electrochemical Properties Of Polyanionic Phosphates In Sodium Ion Batteries
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This work presents a recent progress on the polyanionic phosphate family that functions as cathode materials in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Firstly, this study will cover vanadium-containing frameworks that show very ...
Nanoporous Polymeric Materials For Co2 Capture And Separation
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Control of carbon dioxide emissions without significant penalties requires effective CO2 scrubbing from point sources, such as fossil fuel burning power plants, cement factories and steel making. Capturing process is the ...
Use of water in aiding olefin/paraffin (liquid + liquid) extraction via complexation with a silver bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide salt
(
Academic Press
, 2014 , Article)
This paper describes the extraction of C5-C8 linear -olefins from olefin/paraffin mixtures of the same carbon number via a reversible complexation with a silver salt (silver bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, Ag[Tf2N]) ...

Gas hydrate inhibition: A review of the role of ionic liquids
(
American Chemical Society
, 2014 , Article)
Ionic liquids (ILs) are popular designer green chemicals with great potential for use in diverse energy-related applications. Apart from the well-known low vapor pressure, the physical properties of ILs, such as ...
A critical review of CO2 photoconversion: Catalysts and reactors
(2014 , Article)
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to either a renewable fuel or valuable chemicals, using solar energy has attracted more and more attention, due to the great potential to provide an alternative clean fuel and solve the ...
Tactile device based on opto-mechanical actuation of liquid crystal elastomers
(2014 , Article)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. Thus, actuation can be produced on ...
Thermal conductivity and latent heat thermal energy storage properties of LDPE/wax as a shape-stabilized composite phase change material
(2014 , Article)
Phase change material (PCM) composites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with paraffin waxes were investigated in this study. The composites were prepared using a meltmixing method with a Brabender-Plastograph. The ...
