Improvement of PVA gel properties for cell immobilization
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2019 , Conference)
This study investigates the characterization and the ability of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel to be used in the area of wastewater treatment as biomass immobilization matrix. The PVA matrix was prepared through the ...
Isolation and Identification of Organics-Degrading Bacteria From Gas-to-Liquid Process Water
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2021 , Article)
The gas-to-liquid (GTL) process generates considerable amounts of wastewater that are highly acidic and characterized by its high chemical oxygen demand (COD) content, due to the presence of several organic pollutants, ...
Extracellular matrix (ECM)
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Book chapter)
Summary: The region of space at the periphery of cyanobacterial cells is the interface between the environment and intracellular processes. This metaspace may include a structure appressed to the outer wall and membrane, ...
Cyanobacteria, oil - And cyanofuel?
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Book chapter)
Summary: Global warming, the global carbon cycle, and current and future global trading in carbon credits (the carbon market), are beginning to dictate radical changes in human behaviour. In this context, the cyanobacteria ...
Introduction to the cyanobacteria
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Article)
Summary: Features of cyanobacteria are introduced for non-specialists by highlighting topics in the various chapters. Aspects where much more is known now than a decade ago are pointed out, such as the importance of ...
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 ...
Smart Synthesis of Trimethyl Ethoxysilane (TMS) Functionalized Core–Shell Magnetic Nanosorbents Fe3O4@SiO2: Process Optimization and Application for Extraction of Pesticides
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In the current study, a smart approach for synthesizing trimethyl ethoxysilane–decorated magnetic-core silica-nanoparticles (TMS-mcSNPs) and its effectiveness as nanosorbents have been exploited. While the magnetite core ...
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid to control biofouling and mineral scaling
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was modified with graphene oxide (GO), followed by polymerization of acrylic acid (used as an antiscalant) for the reduction of both biofouling and mineral scaling. After ...
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 ...
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 ...
