Review on the Use of Ionic Liquids (ILs) as Alternative Fluids for CO2 Capture and Natural Gas Sweetening
(
American Chemical Society
, 2010 , Article)
The capture of CO2 from flue gases derived from fossil-fueled power plants and the absorption of CO2/H2S for natural gas sweetening purposes are two relevant industrial problems closely related to very important environmental, ...
Second law analysis of compressible flow through a diffuser subjected to constant wall temperature
(
Inderscience
, 2010 , Article)
This study presents the investigation of entropy generation in compressible turbulent flow of air through a diffuser. Constant temperature boundary condition is applied at the wall. Two-dimensional solution of velocity and ...
Photocatalytic removal of phenol from refinery wastewater: Catalytic activity of Cu-doped titanium dioxide
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
A series of Cu-doped TiO2 catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method and the effect of various synthesis parameters, including solvent type; solvent/catalyst amount; amount of water; catalyst type/amount; and acid type, ...
Properties of Dialkylcarbonate + 1-Alkanol Mixtures at the Vacuum Interface
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
The properties of solutions formed by dialkylcarbonate + 1-alkanol solutions are studied using classic molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of solution composition, temperature, and dialkylcarbonate type have been ...
Advances in Tailoring Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Organic and Carbon Gels
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
An overview on the preparation and properties of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) organic and carbon gels reveals the fascinating and remarkably flexible properties of RF carbon and organic gels and how these properties are ...
Insights into Tris-(2-Hydroxylethyl)methylammonium Methylsulfate Aqueous Solutions
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2012 , Article)
We report herein a combined experimental–computational study on tris-(2-hydroxylethyl)methylammonium methylsulfate in water solutions, as a representative ionic liquid of the aqueous-solution behavior of hydroxylammonium-based ...
Mathematical model for predicting sludge accumulation in septic tanks based on operational parameters: effect of hydraulic mixing
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Reporting sludge accumulation in septic tanks as a constant rate is no longer accepted, and there is a need for a model that predicts sludge accumulation in septic tanks taking into consideration the continuous consumption ...
Investigation of the use of TiO2 doped with metal ions in water disinfection
(
IWA Publishing
, 2010 , Article)
This research was conducted to improve titanium dioxide by transition metal doping using cooper. Sol gel method was used to prepare metal doped TiO 2. Titanium isopropoxide and commercial TiO2 P25 were employed as catalyst ...
A predictive model for the assessment of the temperature polarization effect in direct contact membrane distillation desalination of high salinity feed
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Temperature polarization is one of the major sources responsible for flux drop in membrane distillation systems due to the reduction in the driving force across the membrane. The present study offers a predictive model ...
Room-temperature development of thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes from cellulose acetate with antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
A cellulose acetate thin film composite (CA TFC) membrane was developed by direct casting of CA onto an ultrafiltration membrane support. The flux through the CA TFC membrane was, as expected, inversely proportional to the ...
