Photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 and H 2 O to useful fuels by nanostructured composite catalysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Cu-TiO2 nano-catalysis were successfully prepared using sol-gel method and used for solar photo-reduction of CO2 in gas and liquid phase. Adding Cu to TiO2 matrix modify its crystalline structure, improved its optical ...
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, ...
Improving biogas production from agricultural waste by photo-Fenton process
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference)
The Study investigates the enhancement of biogas production from a mixture of agricultural solid waste, wastewater and manure by Photo-Fenton prices process. The effect of the total solids, organic content, nutrient and ...
Intermediate ozonation to enhance biogas production in batch and continuous systems using animal dung and agricultural waste
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Agricultural waste and animal manure (dung) pose an environmental threat in developing countries. This investigation focused on the possible use of such waste as an energy source in the form of biogas produced via anaerobic ...
Comparison between multi-stage and single stage microalgae dewatering processes
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference)
The present work shows a quick, simple and accurate method for algae harvesting with a potential to relate the required polymer dose with in-situ hydrodynamics properties of alga solution. The method also reduces the lag ...
Assessment of carbon bio-fixation by mixed indigenous microalgae
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference)
This study assesses the potential use of mixed Indigenous Microalgae (MIMA) for carbon capture from flue gases in a photo-bioreactor. The effect of inlet CO2 concentration on the carbon biofixation rate was investigated. ...
Combustion synthesis of bifunctional LaMO3 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) perovskites for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Lanthanum based electrocatalytically active LaMO3 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) perovskites were synthesized using a single step solution combustion technique. The structural and morphological properties of the catalysts were ...
Solar Energy Storage via Thermochemical Metal Oxide/Metal Sulfate Water Splitting Cycle
(
Materials Research Society
, 2018 , Conference)
This paper reports the effect of Ar molar flow-rate on thermodynamic efficiency analysis of zinc oxide-zinc sulfate (ZnS-ZnO) water splitting cycle useful for solar H2 production. The thermodynamic efficiency analysis is ...
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. ...
Impact of CO 2 concentration and ambient conditions on microalgal growth and nutrient removal from wastewater by a photobioreactor
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration and the release of nutrients from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are environmental issues linked to several impacts on ecosystems. Numerous technologies have been employed ...
