Bioelectrogenesis from Raw Algal Biomass Through Microbial Fuel Cells: Effect of Acetate as Co-substrate
(
Springer
, 2019 , Article)
Algae are autotrophic organisms that are widespread in water bodies. Increased pollution in water bodies leads to eutrophication. However, algae growing in lakes undergoing eutrophication could be utilized towards the ...
Selective adsorption of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen using resorcinol-formaldehyde-xerogel activated carbon
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Resorcinol–formaldehyde xerogel was prepared, carbonized and activated in specific conditions to form resorcinol–formaldehyde activated carbon xerogel (RF-ACX) that was to produce microporous nanoparticles. RF-ACX was used ...
The Economics of Helium Separation and Purification by Gas Separation Membranes
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Membrane gas separation has the potential to recover and purify helium, either directly from natural gas or as part of the off gas produced from the nitrogen rejection unit in conventional natural gas processing. Process ...
Synthesis and properties of polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules reinforced smart coatings
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
The present research work focuses on the synthesis, characterization and properties of novel polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules used as smart additives in organic coatings for corrosion protection of steel parts. ...
Intergraded wastewater treatment and carbon bio-fixation from flue gases using Spirulina platensis and mixed algal culture
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, Spirulina platensis (SP.PL) and mixed algal culture (M.X) were used as an economical treatment technology to solve dual environmental issues related to carbon dioxide (CO2) capturing and wastewater treatment. ...
Experimental Investigation of Isothermal Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium and Estimation of Excess Thermodynamic Properties (hE) of CHO2K-H2O from 278.15 to 423.15 K
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) of a binary mixture, potassium formate-water (CHO2K-H2O), was measured experimentally using a dynamic moving type VLE setup in the temperature range of 313.15 to 393.15 K. ...
Development of novel thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes for desalination
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Microporous Polyetherimide (PEI) membranes were prepared by wet phase inversion at different temperatures. The thin film composites (TFC) of polyamide on microporous PEI were prepared using meta-Phenylenediamine (MPD) and ...
Development of efficient formulation for the removal of iron sulphide scale in sour production wells
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Iron sulphide scale, which exists in different forms, is common in sour oil and gas production wells. Iron sulphide hard scales are difficult to remove with acids, requiring mechanical intervention or the replacement of ...
Adsorptive Removal of Arsenic and Mercury from Aqueous Solutions by Eucalyptus Leaves
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The study is a first-time investigation into the use of Eucalyptus leaves as a low-cost herbal adsorbent for the removal of arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacity and efficiency were ...
Screening alternatives for producing paraffinic phase change materials for thermal energy storage in buildings
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Screening alternatives for producing paraffinic phase change materials (PCMs) from natural gas‐based products was investigated. Based on the quality and cost of these PCMs, two sources were identified: (i) hydrogenated ...
