Comparative study on low and high pressure CO2 adsorption capacity of organic materials
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Application of solid sorbents for CO2 capture and separation has been under consideration since last decades owing to the promising feature of repeatable use, low cost of regeneration and thermo physical stability. However, ...
Challenges in the design and operation of an efficient photobioreactor for microalgae cultivation and hydrogen production
(
Springer India
, 2016 , Book chapter)
The major challenge in the production of biofuels from microalgae is the need to generate sufficient quantities of microalgal biomass and an environmentally friendly and cost-effective method for extraction of oil from the ...
Sustained solar fuel production in multiple thermochemical cycles using sol-gel derived ferrite nanopowders
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the sol-gel synthesis of Mg-doped Niferrite i.e. Ni-Mg-ferrite was attempted by using propylene oxide (PO) as a proton scvanger. Effects of two important synthesis paramaters such as amount of PO added during ...
High performance CO2 filtration and sequestration by using bromomethyl benzene linked microporous networks
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Porous solid sorbents have been investigated for the last few decades to replace the costly amine solution and explore the most efficient and economical material for CO2 capture and storage. Covalent organic polymers (COPs) ...
Estimation of algae concentration in water solutions using spectrophotometry measurements and absorbance first derivative
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The monitoring and detection of algae in wastewater and surface solutions is important in controlling the quality of surface water and wastewater, yet there is currently no quick and simple method to achieve this. The ...
Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Current desalination techniques are typically very energy intensive: energy consumption can account for up to 70% of the desalination costs. To improve economics of water desalination plants innovative energy efficient, ...
Kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of CO2 adsorption-desorption on polyethyleneimine - Mesoporous silica
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethyleneimine, PEI (432 and 10k) impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam were synthesized and tested for CO2 capture. At ambient pressure, the amount of CO2 captured by these solid ...
A molecular dynamics study on aminoacid-based ionic liquids
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The properties of aminoacid based ionic liquids are studied using classic molecular dynamic simulations. Ionic liquids comprising glycine, serine, alanine and phenyl alanine anions combined with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, ...
Solar hydrogen production via a samarium oxide-based thermochemical water splitting cycle
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article)
The computational thermodynamic analysis of a samarium oxide-based two-step solar thermochemical water splitting cycle is reported. The analysis is performed using HSC chemistry software and databases. The first (solar-based) ...
Development of Green Inhibitors to Prevent Hydrates Formation, Protect Environment and Reduce Energy Cost in Oil and Gas Industry
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Gas hydrates are identified as ice-liked solid, crystalline compounds having polyhedral water cavities, where gas molecules get trapped during operation under high pressure and low temperature condition. These hydrates ...
