Biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass: Technology and sustainability
(
MDPI AG
, 2015 , Article)
Among the various renewable energy sources, biohydrogen is gaining a lot of traction as it has very high efficiency of conversion to usable power with less pollutant generation. The various technologies available for the ...
Understanding electricity generation in osmotic microbial fuel cells through integrated experimental investigation and mathematical modeling
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
(Graph Presented). Osmotic microbial fuel cells (OsMFCs) are a new type of MFCs with integrating forward osmosis (FO). However, it is not well understood why electricity generation is improved in OsMFCs compared to regular ...
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ...
Recycling of hospital laundry wastewater using membrane technology
(
Desalination Publications
, 2017 , Article)
The laundry wastewater from a Qatari hospital has been characterized and its membrane filtration behavior studied. 1,800-2,500 L or wastewater per cycle for washing a laundry load of 40-50 kg was determined, with the ...
Single-and multi-objective optimization of a dual-chamber microbial fuel cell operating in continuous-flow mode at steady state
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a promising technology for bioenergy generation and wastewater treatment. Various parameters affect the performance of dual-chamber MFCs, such as substrate flow rate and concentration. ...
Comparative Study on Gas-Sensing Properties of 2D (MoS2, WS2)/PANI Nanocomposites-Based Sensor
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
NH3 is a highly harmful gas; when inhaled at levels that are too high for comfort, it is very dangerous to human health. One of the challenging tasks in research is developing ammonia sensors that operate at room temperature. ...
Acrylonitrile process enhancement through waste minimization: Effect of reaction conditions and degree of backmixing
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Waste minimization in reactor design is an effective approach for pollution control, when compared to the traditional practice of the end-of-pipe treatment. Reactor degree of backmixing and operating conditions are important ...
Highly Active Lanthanum Perovskite Electrocatalysts (LaMnxCo1-xO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)) by Tuning the Mn:Co Ratio for ORR and MOR in Alkaline Medium
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
Lanthanum-based perovskites (LaMnxCo1-xO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)) were synthesized using a solution combustion synthesis technique with variable ratios of Co and Mn to investigate the surface property and electrocatalytic characteristics ...
Electrooxidation of methanol on Ag, AgNi, and AgCo catalysts prepared by combustion synthesis technique
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Herein, we report the synthesis of silver-based electrocatalysts (Ag/C, AgCo/C, and AgNi/C) using solution combustion method and their performance towards methanol oxidation reaction. Detailed structural and microscopic ...
Optimum design of n continuous stirred-tank bioreactors in series for fermentation processes based on simultaneous substrate and product inhibition
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Optimization of the continuous fermentation process is important for increasing efficiency and decreasing cost, especially for complicated biochemical processes described by substrate and product inhibition. The optimum ...
