Sustainability assessment and techno-economic analysis of thermally enhanced polymer tube for multi-effect distillation (Med) technology
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Metal-alloys tubes are used in the falling-film evaporator of the multi-effect distillation (MED) that is the dominant and efficient thermal seawater desalination process. However, the harsh seawater environment (high ...
Purification of emulsified oily polluted waters with modified melamine foams
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Oil and gas industry operations produce tremendous amounts of wastewater (produced water; PW). Tertiary treatment of the PW in the final treatment stage is challenging due to the presence of colloids with sizes < 500 nm ...
Foamed phase change materials based on recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax blends
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Foamed phase-change materials (FPCMs) were prepared using recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (PW) and foamed by 1,1′-azobiscarbamide. The protection of pores’ collapse ...
Electrochemical Investigation of Interfacial Properties of Ti3C2Tx MXene Modified by Aryldiazonium Betaine Derivatives
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2020 , Article)
For efficient and effective utilization of MXene such as biosensing or advanced applications, interfacial modification of MXene needs to be considered. To this end, we describe modification of Ti3C2Tx MXene by aryldiazonium-based ...
An Adhesion Improvement of Low-Density Polyethylene to Aluminum through Modification with Functionalized Polymers
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
An interfacial adhesion improvement between low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and aluminum (Al) foil is an important challenge in designing multilayered packaging (TetraPak packaging type) due to insufficient inherent adhesion ...
Impact of ionic liquids on the processing and photo-actuation behavior of SBR composites containing graphene nanoplatelets
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The effects of butylpyridinium bromide-based ionic liquids (ILs) on the vulcanization kinetics, mechanical properties and photo-actuation ability of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites filled with graphene nanoplatelets ...
Investigation into mechanical, surface and adhesive properties of date palm wood-polyolefin micro composites
(
Technical University in Zvolen
, 2020 , Article)
Wood-plastic composites are composite materials made of wood fibre or other lignocellulosic materials and thermoplastic(s). Date palms are one of the potential replacements
of insufficient timber sources in the Middle ...
Recycling of Tetra Pak for Space and Water Heating by Blending with Phase Change Materials
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
A rapid rise in demands for thermal comfort in the building sector necessitates higher energy consumption for air conditioning, ventilation, space, and water heating systems. Recently, phase change materials (PCMs) have ...
Purification of colloidal oil in water emulsions by cationic adsorbent prepared from recycled polyethylene waste
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
This study deals with removing crude oil droplets from colloidal oil in water emulsions. The target was the development of efficient adsorbents for the tertiary treatment of industrial-produced water (PW). The novel adsorbent ...
Impact of the Processing-Induced Orientation of Hexagonal Boron Nitride and Graphite on the Thermal Conductivity of Polyethylene Composites
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Emergent heat transfer and thermal management applications require polymer composites with enhanced thermal conductivity (κ). Composites filled with non-spherical fillers, such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and Graphite ...
