The Separation of Emulsified Water/Oil Mixtures through Adsorption on Plasma-Treated Polyethylene Powder
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
This work addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by radio-frequency ...
Evaluation of polymeric adsorbents via fixed-bed columns for emulsified oil removal from industrial wastewater
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Polymeric adsorbents (PAs) have been gaining increased attention for application in industrial wastewater (WW) treatment. However, most studies on evaluating PAs specifically for emulsified oil removal are currently limited ...
Rational synthesis, characterization, and application of environmentally friendly (polymer–carbon dot) hybrid composite film for fast and efficient UV-assisted Cd2+ removal from water
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Background: Carbon dots (CDs) are of particular interest in numerous applications. However, their efficiency for heavy metal removal from wastewater was not yet reported. Herein, we rationally synthesized CDs from petroleum ...
Phase change materials designed from Tetra Pak waste and paraffin wax as unique thermal energy storage systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Thermal energy storage systems (TES) based on shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCM) designed from recycled Tetra Pak (TP) waste, paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) were investigated in this study. This ...
Highly conductive phase change composites based on paraffin-infiltrated graphite panels for photo/electrothermal conversion and storage
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The extensive utilization of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy harvesting, storage, and thermal management is often constrained by their inadequate thermal and electrical conductivity, form instability, and ...
Date Palm Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs)/Polyamide Composites: Tailoring Morphological, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
In the present study, polyamide (PA) was successfully reinforced with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) prepared from date palm leaves using two different techniques, electrospinning and the solution casting method, and a ...
A novel alternative to free oil remediation and recovery: Foamy absorbents designed from low molecular paraffinic waste
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study focuses on preparing porous, hydrophobic, and oleophilic hydrocarbon-based foams applicable for removing free oils from water surfaces. Paraffinic waste material generated during industrial production of low-density ...
Perfluoroctylsilane grafted Ti3C2X-based hydrogel liquid marble for controlled movement, self-assembly, light-induced release, and water evaporation system
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, a stable and highly hydrophobic perfluoroctylsilane grafted Ti3C2X (PFMXene) possessing repeatable and stable photothermal behavior was applied for fabrication of liquid marble (LM) and hydrogel-based LM. ...
Quantifying and reducing concentration polarization in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an efficient water purification technique because of its high selectivity and permeability. During RO operation, rejection of solutes at the membrane surface leads to generation of a concentration ...
Polymers in optics
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Book chapter)
The unique and tunable properties of polymers open up the possibilities for using these materials in numerous applications. Among various peculiar features, the optical properties of polymers and their novel composites, ...
