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 ...
Enhancement of adhesion characteristics of low-density polyethylene using atmospheric plasma initiated-grafting of polyethylene glycol
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The low-density polyethylene/aluminum (LDPE/Al) joint in Tetra Pak provides stability and strength to food packaging, ensures protection against outside moisture, and maintains the nutritional values and flavors of food ...
A carbon dot-based clay nanocomposite for efficient heavy metal removal
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2023 , Article)
Carbon dots and their derivatives with fascinating photoluminescence properties have recently attracted tremendous scientific attention. This work describes the preparation of novel fluorescent bentonite clay (B), modified ...
Complex treatment of oily polluted waters by modified melamine foams: from colloidal emulsions to a free oil removal
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
This study deals with the efficient, low-cost, and scalable treatment of oily polluted waters including colloidal emulsions, oil-in-water mixtures, and free oil removal using melamine foams (MFs) modified by ferric chloride ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Thermally conductive polyethylene/expanded graphite composites as heat transfer surface: Mechanical, thermo-physical and surface behavior
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Composites of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and expanded graphite (EG) are prepared for heat exchangers in multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination. At 50 wt.% EG loading, the thermal conductivity of HDPE was increased ...
