Evaluating the effect of antiscalants on membrane biofouling using FTIR and multivariate analysis
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
A combination of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, multivariate analysis and conventional microbiological assays were utilized to characterize and differentiate membrane biofouling formed in the presence of ...

(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Qatar and other countries of Gulf Cooperation Council are among the most water scarce countries in the world and are being characterized as “high‐water risk” countries by Water Resource Institute. Therefore, it is important ...
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ...
Minimizing wind erosion using microbial induced carbonate precipitation
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to reduce the potential for wind erosion. This paper summarizes the results of preliminary wind tunnel experiments. ...
