Biochar for agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, water treatment, soil remediation, construction, energy storage, and carbon sequestration: a review
( Springer , 2022 , Article Review)In the context of climate change and the circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile and recycled material. Here, we review application of biochar-based for carbon sink, ... -
A brief overview of RF sputtering deposition of boron carbon nitride (BCN) thin films
( Springer , 2018 , Article)A great part of interest has been paid for fabricating new materials with novel mechanical, optical, and electrical properties. Boron carbon nitride (BCN) ternary system was applied for variable bandgap semiconductors and ... -
The catalytic thermo-oxidative decomposition of glimepiride using the isoconversional method
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Applying the isoconversional method to data obtained from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) can provide vital kinetic information. In this work, the thermal decomposition and oxidation of the antidiabetic drug glimepiride ... -
Continuous adsorptive removal of glimepiride using multi-walled carbon nanotubes in fixed-bed column.
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Water pollution by emerging pollutants such as pharmaceutical and personal care products is one of today's biggest challenges. The presence of these emerging contaminants in water has raised increasing concern due to their ... -
Diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and its chemical drivers across dryland habitats
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Qatar is largely characterized by a hyper-arid climate and low soil fertility which create a stressful soil environment for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. In a study of AM fungal communities and their relationship with ... -
Improved electrochemical performance of SiO2-coated Li-rich layered oxides-Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2
( Springer , 2020 , Article)Lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs) such as Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 are suitable cathode materials for future lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite some salient advantages, like low cost, ease of fabrication, high capacity, ... -
In situ generated MWCNT-FeF3·0.33 H2O nanocomposites toward stable performance cathode material for lithium ion batteries
( Springer , 2019 , Article)A hydrated iron(III) fluoride (FeF3·0.33 H2O) and hydrated multi-walled carbon nanotubes-iron(III) fluoride (MWCNT-FeF3·0.33 H2O) composites were prepared by a simple two-step method. Firstly, a wet chemistry reaction ... -
Insights into the generation of hydroxyl radicals from H2O2 decomposition by the combination of Fe2+ and chloranilic acid
( Springer , 2021 , Article)In this work, the degradation of chloranilic acid (CAA) by chemical oxidation with H2O2 alone and in the presence of ferrous iron Fe2+ catalyst was investigated in order to improve our understanding on the novel metal-independent ... -
New tetradentate Schiff base Cu(II) complexes: synthesis, physicochemical, chromotropism, fluorescence, thermal, and selective catalytic oxidation
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Three neutral Cu(II)/ƞ4-NNNO Schiff base complexes (1-3) were prepared from the (E)-4-nitro-2-(((2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, tetradentate Schiff base (SB) ligand, and the corresponding copper(II) salts. ... -
Nitrate removal from water using UV-M/S2O42- advanced reduction process
( Springer , 2013 , Article)In this work, a new process called advanced reduction process (ARP) was used for nitrate removal from water. This ARP process combines sodium dithionite as reducing agent with ultraviolet irradiation using medium pressure ... -
