Investigating the effect of temperature on calcium sulfate scaling of reverse osmosis membranes using FTIR, SEM-EDX and multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Membrane fouling is one of the major hurdles in widespread use of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) in desalination industry. There are various factors that affect the inorganic fouling or scaling of Reverse osmosis (RO) ...
Multivariate analysis for FTIR in understanding treatment of used cooking oil using activated carbon prepared from olive stone
(
Public Library of Science
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, activated carbons prepared from the green and black olive stone (green OSAC and black OSAC) were used as adsorbents to investigate their removal efficiencies for oxidation products and polar compounds from ...
Rapid assessment of the impact of microwave heating coupled with UV-C radiation on the degradation of PAHs from contaminated soil using FTIR and multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The presence and fate of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment are receiving a great concern. In this study, three oil-contaminated soils (industrial area, Dukhan city, and artificial soils) were utilized to ...
Novel bioadsorbents based on date pits for organophosphorus pesticide remediation from water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The aim of the study was to examine the efficiency of date pits as an adsorbent to remove the organophosphate pesticide (profenofos) from water. A thermodynamic study was carried out to determine the homogeneity and ...
Investigating the microorganisms-calcium sulfate interaction in reverse osmosis systems using SEM-EDX technique
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Membrane fouling affects the performance of membrane technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO), in water treatments and desalination industries. The membrane fouling is a multifaceted phenomenon and various components of ...
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the membrane surface properties were improved as the ...
Sustainable and long-term management of municipal solid waste: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigates landfill and incineration waste management strategies as potential and prevalent traditional methods of disposing of municipality-generated waste because of their cheapness and simplicity but requires ...
Effects of soaking, acidity and temperature on cadmium and lead removal from rice
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
In this research, effect of soaking time, acidity and temperature on the removal of lead and cadmium from rice was investigated. Different rice treatments were involved i.e. three soaking times (0, 15, and 30 min), three ...
Application of geopolymers synthesized from incinerated municipal solid waste ashes for the removal of cationic dye from water
(
Public Library of Science
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, municipal solid waste bottom ash (MSW-BA) and fly ash (MSW-FA) were used as a source of aluminosilicate to prepare geopolymer (GEO) adsorbents (GEO-MSWBA and GEO-MSWFA) for the removal of methylene blue (MB) ...
Interaction of seawater microorganisms with scalants and antiscalants in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In this research, the interactions of seawater microorganisms with scalants (minerals like calcium sulfate) and antiscalants in the reverse osmosis (RO) systems were investigated. The interaction of seawater microorganisms ...
