Accelerated (artificial) weathering and thermal ageing tests were performed to investigate the effectiveness of different UV/HALS formulations in reducing the UV/heat degradation effect for two different low-density ...

Plant litter decomposition in soil is a dynamic process that is affected and regulated by several factors. Soil microbial activity, light intensity, litter composition and habitat all affect the rate of decomposition ...

Carbon nitride (C3N4) nanomaterials has superior mechanical, thermal and tribological properties, which make them attractive for various applications including corrosion resistant coatings. In this research, newly ...

The aim of this work is to solve the current issues experienced in forward osmosis (FO) membranes such as low water flux, membrane fouling, and high reverse solute flux (RSF). We also propose a novel technique to ...

Well-defined coral reefs and patches with high density of fishes were reported in the Arabian Gulf. Due to environmental and anthropogenic disturbances, especially due to coastal development, coral reef cover starts ...

The low-density polyethylene/aluminum (LDPE/Al) joint in Tetra Pak liquid containers provides stability and strength to the food package, ensures protection against outside moisture, and maintains the nutritional values ...

Ti3C2Tx MXene is a promising catalyst for several applications; however, its electrochemical conversion of CO2 to useable hydrocarbons has been rarely reported experimentally. Herein, two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx nanosheets ...

Obstacles in the membrane-based separation field are mainly related to membrane fouling. This study synthesized a pioneering covalently crosslinked cellulose acetate anti-fouling mixed matrix membrane containing between ...

Produced water (PW) from petrochemical industries is one of the largest wastewaters generated in Qatar. Soluble and insoluble oil contaminants occur in this water and must be removed if water will be used or discharged ...
