Boron has toxic effects on plant growth and thus its removal is necessary from desalinated saline water for irrigation application. Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) are a new approach for effective desalination but boron ...

This work reports an extendible multiobjective optimization framework to find the optimal configuration of energy utilization and wastewater treatment facility of the process. It incorporates two sustainable energy integration ...

Microbial desalination cell presents a novel concept for wastewater treatment, salt removal and bioelectricity generation in a single system. In this study, the effect of organic load on salt removal in air-cathode up-flow ...

Background While microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can simultaneously produce bioelectrochemical hydrogen and treat wastewater, they consume considerable energy to overcome the unfavorable thermodynamics, which is not ...

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. ...

Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been studied for contaminant removal from wastewater and salinity reduction in saline water. However, in an MDC wastewater treatment and desalination occurs in different streams, ...

Thin-ply composites are currently receiving specific attention from researchers due to their capabilities to delay matrix cracking. In this paper, the aim is to design a hybrid laminate that contains both thin- and normal ...

Chitosan (CS) is a linear polysaccharide biopolymer, one of the most abundant biowastes in the environment. This makes chitosan a potential material for a wide range of applications. To improve CS's properties, chitosan ...

Ni–C and Co/Ni–C electro-catalysts were prepared using solvothermal reaction method and used to oxidize ammonia in aqueous solution. Ni and Co were consistently dispersed in carbon generating spherical and porous structure ...

Due to limited rainfall and precipitations, different developing countries depend on groundwater (G.W.) resources to challenge water scarcity. This practice of continuous and excessive G.W. pumping has led to severe water ...
