Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ...

Gas hydrate blockage is a major issue that the production and transportation processes in the oil/gas industry faces. The formation of gas hydrates in pipelines results in significant financial losses and serious safety ...

This study investigates the mercury (Hg) levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, protein, and lipid contents in Qatar. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed ...

The presence of high concentrations of heavy metals (potentially toxic elements) in water bodies generates serious environmental issues and health problems that led to a dramatic increase in wastewater treatment costs. ...

Air-conditioning systems make the most significant part of energy consumption in the residential sector. There is no denying that it is essential to produce a comfortable indoor thermal environment for residents in a ...

This study characterized and assessed three different process water (PWWs) (S-1, S-2, and S-3) from oil and gas production in Qatar. The wastewater generated in various processing stages contains many harmful components ...

Calcium carbonate, one of the most abundant minerals in the geological records is considered as primary source of the carbon reservoir. The role of microorganisms in the biotic precipitation of calcium carbonate has been ...

The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ...

Sludge generation as an organic by-product of wastewater treatment has seen a consistent increase worldwide due to population growth and industrial activities. This poses a chronic challenge regarding management options ...

It has been demonstrated that biostimulation is necessary to investigate the interactions between indigenous bacteria and establish an approach for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with weathered oil. This was ...
