Identification and overcome of limitations of weathered oil hydrocarbons bioremediation by an adapted Bacillus sorensis strain
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
Because of the high production of oil and gas in Qatar, the likelihood of oil spill occurrence is most probably susceptible to happen. Contaminated soil treatment is very expensive. Cost effective mechanisms are investigated ...
Produced water characteristics, treatment and reuse: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article Review)
In oil and gas industry, produced water is considered as the largest waste stream, which contains relatively higher concentration of hydrocarbons, heavy metals and other pollutants. Due to the increase in industrial ...
Removal of boron from water using adsorbents derived from waste tire rubber
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In the current study, the remediation of boron by adsorption from water was investigated at different pH values, initial boron concentration, adsorbent dosage and particle size using adsorbents prepared from waste tire ...
Energy efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology due to its ability to function using low temperature differences and low-quality heat sources, thus allowing it to operate on solar or waste heat. The flux and energy ...
Application of eggshell wastes for boron remediation from water
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Boron in high concentration levels leads to harmful effects on the environment and human health. Hence, it needs to be eliminated from desalinated water in order to improve water quality. As a result, the removal of boron ...
Optimizing textile dye removal by activated carbon prepared from olive stones
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Activated carbon prepared from black and green olive stones were successfully used as
an adsorbing agent to remove methylene blue from water. Scanning electron microscopy
showed how the deep abundant cavities were occupied ...
An integrated approach for produced water treatment using microemulsions modified activated carbon
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the physical and chemical characterization of produced water was done followed by treatment through sand filtration coupled with activated carbon microemulsion modified activated carbon techniques. The results ...
Electrospun Al2O3 hydrophobic functionalized membranes for heavy metal recovery using direct contact membrane distillation
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) was used to develop a novel functionalized electrospun membrane for the effective treatment of heavy metals in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) applications. ...
P. putida as biosorbent for the remediation of cobalt and phenol from industrial waste wastewaters
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The current work focused on the feasibility of treating industrial wastewater containing phenol and cobalt (Co) by adsorption, biosorption, and bioadsorption to determine the effectiveness of each technology. To study the ...
Ionic liquids application for wastewater treatment and biofuel production: A mini review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Commonly described as ionic compounds that are fluid below 100 C, Ionic Liquids (ILs) have found its application in several fields of science and engineering. Formerly limited in its use for electrochemical purposes, ILs ...
