Cost-effective alkylammonium formate-based protic ionic liquids for methane hydrate inhibition
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In light of current concerns about environmental impact, ionic liquids have been tested in a number of industrial applications, including gas purification, lubrication, and catalysis. In this work, cost-effective ...
Reinforced Concrete Degradation in the Harsh Climates of the Arabian Gulf: Field Study on 30-to-50-Year-Old Structures
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
This paper presents the results of a field study carried out on three reinforced concrete (RC) structures built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s to determine the main load (environmental) and the resistance (for example, the ...
Extreme fast charging characteristics of zirconia modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode for lithium ion batteries
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 is a promising high-voltage cathode for lithium-ion battery fast charging applications. Aware of its electrochemical stability issues, the material's surface is modified with small amounts of zirconia (ZrO2) ...
Biofilm formation and electron transfer in bioelectrochemical systems
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
In the recent years, considerable body of research has been carried out in the field of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) for treatment of wastewater and generation of power. In these systems, different microbes are used ...
Enhanced treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater by short-term applied voltage in single chamber microbial fuel cell
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Electrochemically active anodic biofilm that has adapted under mild applied potentials in the range 100-500 mV was evaluated for its improved bioelectrogenesis and bioelectrochemical treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater ...
Biological anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction reactions for improved bioelectrochemical treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) were evaluated for the bioelectrochemical treatment (BET) of petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) by applying mild electrochemical potential in the range of 400-1000 mV on a single chamber ...
The impact of mechanically-imposed shear on clogging, fouling and energy demand for an immersed membrane bioreactor
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
The impact of the application of mechanically-imposed shear on the propensity for fouling and clogging (or “sludging”—the agglomeration of sludge solids in the membrane channel) of an immersed flat sheet (iFS) membrane ...
Integration of Safety in the Optimization of Transporting Hazardous Materials
(
Springer
, 2018 , Article)
The development of fully integrated supply chain networks has drawn much attention due to industrial integration and globalization. Inter-plant transportation of chemicals plays a central role in enabling efficient supply ...
Application of a property-based inherently safety quantification framework for integrating risk assessment into process safety life cycle
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Process plant involves different types of risks which need to be managed appropriately to avoid dangerous incidents. Some risks are associated with design decisions such as choice of unit, chemicals or design layout etc. ...
Potential use of solar photocatalytic oxidation in removing emerging pharmaceuticals from wastewater: A pilot plant study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
A pilot plant was used to evaluate the potential of solar photocatalytic processes in the treatment of wastewater containing emerging contaminates. Four groups of commonly used pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, estrogens, ...
