Influence of fuel ratio on the performance of combustion synthesized bifunctional cobalt oxide catalysts for fuel cell application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Solution combustion synthesis was used to prepare cobalt oxide nanoparticles at different fuel ratio (φ = 0.5, 1, and 1.75). The synthesized particles were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR and XPS to study the ...
Investigation of thin-film composite hollow fiber forward osmosis membrane for osmotic concentration: A pilot-scale study
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The current study applied the forward osmosis (FO) based osmotic concentration (OC) process at the pilot-scale for concentrating synthetic feed solution (FS). The process water (PW) salinity represents effluents from the ...
Bio-sorption of toxic metals from industrial wastewater by algae strains Spirulina platensis and Chlorella vulgaris: Application of isotherm, kinetic models and process optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The present study evaluates the effect of an acidic treatment on the improvement of the percentage removal of toxic metal (%TMrem) from wastewater by algae strains (Spirulina platensis (SP) and Chlorella vulgar (CV)) under ...
Algal cells harvesting using cost-effective magnetic nano-particles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Innovative iron-based nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and tested for the first time for harvesting single and mixed algal culture from real wastewater. The tailor-made magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs; Fe-MNP-I ...
Potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae for carbon dioxide bio-fixation and advanced wastewater treatment
(
AIChE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae (MIMA) as a CO2 capturing technology and treatment process for wastewaters was evaluated at two temperatures ( 25 and 30 C) and different CO2 dosage ( 0%, 5% and 15%). During ...
Understanding ethanol hydrogen abstraction mechanism on CuNi catalyst
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this work we report the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using solution combustion synthesis. These nanopowders are used as catalyst in ethanol decomposition reaction for hydrogen production. In situ study of ...
Innovative bppo anion exchange membranes formulation using diffusion dialysis-enhanced acid regeneration system
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Recycling of acid from aqueous waste streams is crucial not only from the environmental point of view but also for maturing the feasible method (diffusion dialysis). Anion exchange membrane (AEM)–based diffusion dialysis ...
Effect of membrane fouling on fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis desalination performance
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) has garnered immense attention for its application in the agricultural field and its potential to reuse wastewater sustainably. Membrane fouling, however, remains to be a challenge ...
Kinetic modeling of microalgae growth and CO2 bio-fixation using central composite design statistical approach
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The optimum growth (μ), CO2 bio-fixation (RCO2) rates and the energy ratio (ER) of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris (C.v) were identified using central composite design statistical approach (CCD-SA). μ and RCO2 parameters ...
Utilizing environmentally friendly hyperbranched polyglycerol polymers to separate gasoline from deionized water
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Hyperbranched polyglycerol polymers (HPG) were synthesized, characterized, and used to separate gasoline from deionized water. The study indicates HPG as potentially effective materials for the recovery of oil from oil/water ...
