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 ...
Date palm wood flour/glass fibre reinforced hybrid composites of recycled polypropylene: Mechanical and thermal properties
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
Recycled polypropylene (RPP) based hybrid composites of date palm wood flour/glass fibre were prepared by different weight ratios of the two reinforcements. Mixing process was carried out in an extruder and samples were ...
The carbon conundrum: GCC perspectives
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2012 , Article)
The solution to the carbon conundrum does not seem to be within reach in the short or medium term, despite significant advances and knowledge gains in demonstration scale CCS facilities. This stems from the fact that ...
Phenol degradation by powdered metal ion modified titanium dioxide photocatalysts
(2012 , Article)
Conventional water purification and disinfection generally involve potentially hazardous substances, some of which known to be carcinogenic in nature. Titanium dioxide photocatalytic processes provide an effective route ...
Nanofeatures of resorcinol-formaldehyde carbon microspheres
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
Resorcinol-formaldehyde activated carbon xerogels were synthesized at certain conditions, and their morphology was studied experimentally to examine their detailed nature on the nanoscale level, which has not been reported ...
Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2012 , Article)
Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow ...
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2012 , Article)
As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...
An Overview of Solid Waste Management and Plastic Recycling in Qatar
(2012 , Article)
Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) constitutes one of the most crucial health and environmental problems facing authorities in the Arabian Gulf. Recent literature on current solid waste management (SWM) in Qatar has ...
CO 2 adsorption studies on Prussian blue analogues
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2012 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption capacities of several Prussian blue (PB) analogues have been studied using the state-of-the-art Rubotherm® sorption apparatus to obtain adsorption and desorption isotherms of these compounds ...
High capacity carbon dioxide adsorption by inexpensive covalent organic polymers
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2012 , Article)
Efficient CO2 scrubbing without a significant energy penalty remains an outstanding challenge for the fossil fuel-burning industry where aqueous amine solutions are still widely used. Porous materials have long been evaluated ...
