A review on recent advances in CO2 separation using zeolite and zeolite-like materials as adsorbents and fillers in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs)
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Anthropogenic emissions have developed the environmental demands for proficient carbon dioxide (CO2) separation technologies. Adsorption and membrane technologies are widely used to separate CO2 from other light gases due ... -
Copper removal from industrial wastewater: A comprehensive review
( Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry , 2017 , Article Review)Copper is one of the most valuable and prevalent metals used in the industry. There are many techniques to treat different types of industrial wastewater that are contaminated with heavy metals such as copper. This article ... -
Modified os sepiae of Sepiella inermis as a low cost, sustainable, bio-based adsorbent for the effective remediation of boron from aqueous solution
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Article)The occurrence of boron in low concentration is essential; however, a higher concentration of boron source in water has a toxic effect on humans as well as have retard effect on agricultural plant growth. Thus, the affordable ... -
Modulation of wettability, gradient and adhesion on self-assembled monolayer by counterion exchange and pH
( Academic Press Inc. , 2018 , Article)In this study, two quaternary ammonium salts derived from L-lipoic acid were applied for self-assembled monolayers formation on rough structured gold surface. The derivatives differ in functionality since one possesses ... -
Peach resin coated silica particles for imidacloprid removal as a greener approach to water remediation
( Desalination Publications , 2018 , Article)Pesticides are one of the major toxic pollutants that can be lethal even at trace levels. They generally enter into the water reservoirs through agricultural run-off and hence pose serious threat to flora and fauna of ... -
Positron annihilation study on polyaniline nanocomposite used for Pb(II) ion removal
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)Nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANI) with three different concentrations of micrometre-sized sawdust are prepared in aqueous media via chemical casting method at room temperature. Thereafter, the removal efficiency of the ... -
Purification of emulsified oily polluted waters with modified melamine foams
( 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 ... -
Pyrite (FeS2)-supported ultrafiltration system for removal of mercury (II) from water
( Springer , 2021 , Article)This study investigated the Hg(II) removal efficiencies of the reactive adsorbent membrane (RAM) hybrid filtration process, a removal process that produces stable final residuals. The reaction mechanism between Hg(II) and ... -
Recent advances in the application of carbon nitrides for advanced water treatment and desalination technology
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Carbon nitride (CN) and its different derivatives have received increased research consideration in current materials science because of its extensive range of potential applications in environmental protection. At present, ... -
Recent advances on humic acid removal from wastewater using adsorption process
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article Review)Humic acid (HA) is a component of natural organic matter (NOM) with a high molecular weight and high complexity. The presence of humic acid in water raises serious concerns due to its toxicity and ability to form carcinogenic ... -
Synthesis of Gemini cationic surfactants based on natural nicotinic acid and evaluation of their inhibition performance at C-steel/1 M HCl interface: Electrochemical and computational investigations
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Herein, we prepare effective Gemini cationic surfactants (CSII, CSIV) and characterize them using FT-IR and 1HNMR spectroscopy. The adsorptive properties of CSII and CSIV at HCl/air and C-steel/HCl interfaces were examined ... -
The Separation of Emulsified Water/Oil Mixtures through Adsorption on Plasma-Treated Polyethylene Powder
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)This work addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by radio-frequency ... -
