Novel bioadsorbents based on date pits for organophosphorus pesticide remediation from water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The aim of the study was to examine the efficiency of date pits as an adsorbent to remove the organophosphate pesticide (profenofos) from water. A thermodynamic study was carried out to determine the homogeneity and ...
Mechanistic understanding of the adsorption and thermodynamic aspects of cationic methylene blue dye onto cellulosic olive stones biomass from wastewater
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
In the current study, the mechanistic understanding of the adsorption isotherm and thermodynamic aspects of cationic methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption onto cellulosic olive stones biomass from wastewater were investigated. ...
The integrated/hybrid membrane systems for membrane desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Book chapter)
Freshwater scarcity is a global issue that is further exacerbated by both economic and population growth. Membrane desalination possesses the potential to address water stress issues, but membrane fouling has affected its ...
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 ...
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 ...
Brine management strategies, technologies, and recovery using adsorption processes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The world is experiencing serious shortages, unequal distributions, and contamination of the available freshwater resources. Many factors like geography, climate change, increasing populations, economic and technological ...
Investigating the microorganisms-calcium sulfate interaction in reverse osmosis systems using SEM-EDX technique
(
Elsevier Ltd
