Krupa, Igor; Mahmoud, Abdelrahman; Sobolciak, Patrik; Popelka, Anton; Mrlik, Miroslav; Minarik, Antonin; Gasmi, Soumia; Ouederni, Mabrouk; Adham, Samer... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This study focuses on preparing porous, hydrophobic, and oleophilic hydrocarbon-based foams applicable for removing free oils from water surfaces. Paraffinic waste material generated during industrial production of low-density ... -
Electrospun Polysulfone Hybrid Nanocomposite Fibers as Membrane for Separating Oil/Water Emulsion
Ponnamma, Deepalekshmi; Elgawady, Yara; Hassan, Mohamed K.; Adham, Samer; Al-Maas, Mashael; Alamgir, Karim; Al-Maadeed, Mariam Al Ali... more authors ... less authors ( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)Commercial polymer membranes are largely utilized to separate oil/water mixtures; however, membrane fouling, flux decline, and short lifetime often inhibit their high performance. In order to resolve these drawbacks of the ... -
Evaluation of polymeric adsorbents via fixed-bed columns for emulsified oil removal from industrial wastewater
Mashael, Al-Maas; Minier-Matar, Joel; Krupa, Igor; Al-Maadeed, Mariam Al Ali; Adham, Samer ( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Polymeric adsorbents (PAs) have been gaining increased attention for application in industrial wastewater (WW) treatment. However, most studies on evaluating PAs specifically for emulsified oil removal are currently limited ... -
Evaluation of pretreatment and membrane configuration for pressure-retarded osmosis application to produced water from the petroleum industry
Dardor, Dareen; Al Maas, Mashael; Minier-Matar, Joel; Janson, Arnold; Abdel-Wahab, Ahmed; Shon, Ho Kyong; Adham, Samer... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) is a promising membrane technology for harnessing the osmotic energy of saline solutions. PRO is typically considered with seawater/river water pairings however greater energy can be recovered ... -
Industrial wastewater volume reduction through osmotic concentration: Membrane module selection and process modeling
Joel, Minier-Matar; Al-Maas, Mashael; Dardor, Dareen; Janson, Arnold; Nasser, Mustafa S.; Adham, Samer... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Osmotic concentration (OC), a form of forward osmosis (FO) but without draw solution recovery, can be applied for reducing wastewater disposal volumes in the oil & gas industry. Within this industry, wastewater is often ... -
Membrane distillation: recent technological developments and advancements in membrane materials
Hussain, A.; Hussain, Altaf; Janson, Arnie; Matar, Joel Minier; Adham, Samer ( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article Review)Membrane distillation (MD) is a novel desalination technology that has potential to produce distilled quality water from high salinity brine streams. The driving force for MD is the vapor pressure difference across a ... -
Purification of emulsified oily polluted waters with modified melamine foams
Hailan, Sarah; Sobolciak, Patrik; Kasak, Peter; Popelka, Anton; Tong, Yongfeng; Adham, Samer; Krupa, Igor... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Oil and gas industry operations produce tremendous amounts of wastewater (produced water; PW). Tertiary treatment of the PW in the final treatment stage is challenging due to the presence of colloids with sizes < 500 nm ... -
Salinity gradient energy generation by pressure retarded osmosis: A review
Ralph Rolly, Gonzales; Abdel-Wahab, Ahmed; Adham, Samer; Han, Dong Suk; Phuntsho, Sherub; Suwaileh, Wafa; Hilal, Nidal; Shon, Ho Kyong... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has gained attention due to its use as a salinity gradient energy-generating membrane process. This process can convert difference in salinity between two streams into energy as it allows ...
