Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ...
The impact of mechanical shear on membrane flux and energy demand
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article Review)
The use of forced mechanical shear for both disc membranes (rotating and vibrating disc filtration, RDF and VDF respectively) and hollow fibres (vibrating HF membranes, VHFM) is reviewed. These systems have been extensively ...
Assessment of CexZryHfzO2 based oxides as potential solar thermochemical CO2 splitting materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we report the synthesis, characterization, and assessment of CexZryHfzO2 (CZH) materials for solar thermochemical splitting of CO2 in up to 20 consecutive thermochemical cycles. CZH materials with different ...
A systematic visual methodology to design ionic liquids and ionic liquid mixtures: Green solvent alternative for carbon capture
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained great interest recently to substitute volatile organic compounds (VOCs), since their properties can be tuned to match certain targets and applications. Further to this, another possibility ...
Propylene oxide assisted sol-gel synthesis of zinc ferrite nanoparticles for solar fuel production
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports the synthesis of phase-pure Zn-ferrite nanoparticles with high specific surface area (SSA) via the propylene oxide (PO) assisted sol–gel method. For the synthesis of Zn-ferrite, metal precursors (ZnCl2 ...
Stability analysis of unstructured finite volume methods for linear shallow water flows using pseudospectra and singular value decomposition
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The discretization of the shallow water system on unstructured grids can lead to spurious modes which usually can affect accuracy and/or cause stability problems. This paper introduces a new approach for stability analysis ...
