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 ...
A novel desulfurization practice based on diesel acidification prior to activated carbon adsorption
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
Commercial diesel is often rich with organosulfur compounds and a value of 7,100 mgS/kg was recently reported. As confirmed by chromatographic analysis, about 36% of sulfur compounds are originated from dibenzothiophene. ...
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 ...
Insights into the remediation characterization of modified bentonite in minimizing organosulphur compounds from diesel fuel
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, physical and chemical characteristics of the raw, treated, and acid activated bentonite were investigated using XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential thermal analysis (DTA)/thermogravimetry ...
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 ...
Improving properties of thin film nanocomposite membrane through polyethyleneimine intermediate layer: A parametric study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-interlayered thin film nanocomposite (iTFN) membranes were developed by establishing graphene oxide (GO)-incorporated polyamide (PA) layer atop PEI-coated polysulfone (PSf) substrate ...
An overview of brine management: Emerging desalination technologies, life cycle assessment, and metal recovery methodologies
(
Academic Press
, 2021 , Article)
This study examines which management methods are the most recent and advanced in managing rejected brine generated from desalination plants. It also provides up-to-date information regarding the most adequate technologies ...
Adsorptive batch and biological treatments of produced water: Recent progresses, challenges, and potentials
(
Academic Press
, 2021 , Article)
Produced water is responsible for the largest contribution in terms of waste stream volume associated with the production of oil and gas. Characterization of produced water is very crucial for the determination of its main ...
