Utilization of nano-olive stones in environmental remediation of methylene blue from water 03 Chemical Sciences 0306 Physical Chemistry (incl. Structural)
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Background: The use of agricultural waste as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of hazardous methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated. In this research, the potentiality of using black nano olive stones ...
Source identification of beached oil at Al Zubarah, Northwestern Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The Gulf was contaminated with a large quantity of crude oil during the Gulf War in 1991. Some of the oil beached on the shorelines of the Northwest coast of Qatar. It was discovered, during a sampling campaign in 2015, ...
A novel method for metals extraction from municipal solid waste using a microwave-assisted acid extraction
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This paper investigated the development and evaluation of an extraction process for copper, chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese, zinc, lead, cadmium, barium, magnesium, and vanadium from municipal solid waste incineration ...
Physiochemical characterization and systematic investigation of metals extraction from fly and bottom ashes produced from municipal solid waste
(
Public Library of Science
, 2020 , Article)
Incineration has emerged as one of the acceptable ways to treat municipal solid waste (MSW) due to its potential in reducing the mass and volume of the waste. However, it produces two major by-product residues, namely ...
Metal distribution in marine sediment along the Doha Bay, Qatar
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Concentrations of 25 heavy metals (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr, V, Zn and Hg) in surface sediments along the Doha Bay from 10 transects each with five stations were ...
Recent advances in the treatment of PAHs in the environment: Application of nanomaterial-based technologies
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one of the most frequent petroleum hydrocarbons detected in the environment. PAHs are receiving global attention due to their toxicity, environmental persistence, and potential ...
Selective removal of dibenzothiophene from commercial diesel using manganese dioxide-modified activated carbon: A kinetic study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
With a total concentration of 7055 mgS/kgfuel, the content of organosulphur compounds (OSCs) in local diesel is 20 times higher than the regulated value. Analysis revealed that 30% of OSC is originated from dibenzothiophene ...
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 ...
