Adsorptive removal of mercury from water by adsorbents derived from date pits
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
The current work presented here focuses on the remediation of mercury from water using modified low-cost materials. Modified date pits, low cost, minimal pretreatment steps and locally abundant agricultural waste materials ...
Moderate Temperature Treatment of Gas-Phase Volatile Organic Toluene Using NiO and NiO–TiO2 Nano-catalysts: Characterization and Kinetic Behaviors
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Abstract: For the first time, the potential of Ni/NiO and NiO?TiO2 nano-catalysts for the oxidation of toluene under moderate temperatures was investigated. The nano-catalysts were prepared using the solution combustion ...
Synthesis and characterization of fly ash based geopolymeric membrane for produced water treatment
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
Geopolymerization is a green innovative technique for the synthesis of inorganic membrane using fly ash as a raw material. In this work, fly ashes from thermal power plant were used as a source material for the synthesis ...
Investigating the effects of mixing ionic liquids on their density, decomposition temperature, and gas absorption
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2019 , Article)
In order to counter the detrimental effect of chemicals on the environment, the academic and industry research interest have shifted towards “green” solvents. Ionic liquids (ILs) are salt-like compounds that, with few ...
A systematic approach for design and simulation of monoethylene glycol (MEG) recovery in oil and gas industry
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a widely used hydrate inhibitor in the oil and gas industry to reduce the risk of hydrate formation in pipelines that could cause a blockage. For flow assurance and hydrate inhibition purposes, ...
Synthesis and characterization of stable anion exchange membranes for desalination applications
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
This research reports the synthesis of stable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) from brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) and triethylamine (TEA) for desalination applications. The successful synthesis ...
Metal-organic frameworks as a platform for CO2 capture and chemical processes: Adsorption, membrane separation, catalytic-conversion, and electrochemical reduction of CO2
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article Review)
The continuous rise in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is of significant global concern. Several methodologies and technologies are proposed and applied by the industries to mitigate the emissions ...
Effective removal of lanthanum ions from aqueous solution using rice husk: Impact of experimental variables
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
The focus of the present work is to optimize different experimental parameters such as nature of electrolyte, pH, amount of adsorbent, ions concentration, equilibration time, temperature, and operating mode. The effective ...

(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
This research focus onto batch adsorption of nickel ions (Ni(II)) onto husk of Oryza sativa (HOS) from aqueous solution at room temperature. Several techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy ...
Use of nanoadvanced activated carbon, alumina and ferric adsorbents for humics removal from water: isotherm study
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of humic substances on three different adsorbents was investigated and adsorption isotherms were applied in this research. The three adsorbents studied include granular activated carbon (GAC), ferric ...
