Sustainability assessment and techno-economic analysis of thermally enhanced polymer tube for multi-effect distillation (Med) technology
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Metal-alloys tubes are used in the falling-film evaporator of the multi-effect distillation (MED) that is the dominant and efficient thermal seawater desalination process. However, the harsh seawater environment (high ...
Effectiveness of epoxy coating modified with yttrium oxide loaded with imidazole on the corrosion protection of steel
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
The search for highly effective corrosion protection solutions to avoid degradation of the metallic parts is enabling the development of polymeric organic coatings. Of particular relevance, polymeric nanocomposite coatings, ...
Eco-friendly highly efficient BN/rGO/TiO2 nanocomposite visible-light photocatalyst for phenol mineralization
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Boron nitride (BN) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) of different loadings were composited with commercial P25 TiO2 (Ti) through the hydrothermal method. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized using various ...
An Advanced Quaternary Composite for Efficient Water Splitting
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
Electrochemical water splitting is a promising pathway for effective hydrogen (H2) evolution in energy conversion and storage, with electrocatalysis playing a key role. Developing efficient, cost-effective and stable ...
Study on the corrosion behavior of polymeric nanocomposite coatings containing halloysite nanotubes loaded with multicomponent inhibitor
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
In the present study, the halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were loaded with a multicomponent inhibitor (LHNT) comprising mainly benzotriazole (BTA), sodium benzoate (SB), and lauric acid (LA) via the vacuum cycling method. The ...
Anticoagulant activity of cellulose nanocrystals from isora plant fibers assembled on cellulose and sio2 substrates via a layer-by-layer approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, we report the isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from Isora plant fibers by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and their assembly on hydrophilic cellulose and silicon-di-oxide (SiO2) surfaces via a layer-by-layer ...
Improvement of heat sink performance using paraffin/graphite/hydrogel phase change composite coating
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Phase-change materials offer high latent heat and are widely used for energy storage applications. Paraffin wax is usually used as a phase-change material. However, its application in energy storage is restricted due to ...
Enhancement of adhesion characteristics of low-density polyethylene using atmospheric plasma initiated-grafting of polyethylene glycol
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The low-density polyethylene/aluminum (LDPE/Al) joint in Tetra Pak provides stability and strength to food packaging, ensures protection against outside moisture, and maintains the nutritional values and flavors of food ...
Protocol for Preparing Synthetic Solutions Mimicking Produced Water from Oil and Gas Operations
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Produced water (PW) is the water associated with hydrocarbons during the extraction of oil and gas (O&G) from either conventional or unconventional resources. Existing efforts to enhance PW management systems include the ...
Investigation of interaction between boronic acids and sugar: effect of structural change of sugars on binding affinity using steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Binding interactions of boronic acid derivatives viz. 2-Methylphenylboronic acid (B1) and 3-Methoxyphenylboronic acid (B2) with mono saccharides (arabinose, fructose and galactose) and disaccharides (sucrose, lactose and ...
