Redox reactivity of La(1-x)SrxMnO3 (LSM) perovskites towards a solar thermochemical CO2 splitting (CS) cycle is investigated. The LSM perovskites are synthesized via a solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method using glycine ...
Biological-Based Produced Water Treatment Using Microalgae: Challenges and Efficiency
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Produced water (PW) is the most significant waste stream generated in the oil and gas industries. The generated PW has the potential to be a useful water source rather than waste. While a variety of technologies can be ...
A review of recent advances in water-gas shift catalysis for hydrogen production
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
The water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) is an intermediate reaction in hydrocarbon reforming processes, considered one of the most important reactions for hydrogen production. Here, water and carbon monoxide molecules react ...
