A novel cylindrical electrode configuration for inducing dielectrophoretic forces during electrocoagulation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The removal of total phosphorous (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from a secondary treated wastewater (STW) using a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration was evaluated. Three different electrode modules were ...
Comparison of dual stage ultrafiltration and hybrid ultrafiltration-forward osmosis process for harvesting microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.) biomass
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, a hybrid ultrafiltration-forward osmosis system was compared with a dual stage ultrafiltration process for the harvesting of marine microalgae. To the best of the author's knowledge none of the previous ...
Effect of the induced dielectrophoretic force on harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.) in electrocoagulation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration has been investigated in order to induce dielectrophoretic (DEP) force for the enhanced harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.). Asymmetrical aluminum ...
Modeling of forward osmosis process using artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict the permeate flux
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are black box models that are becoming more popular than transport-based models due to their high accuracy and less computational time in predictions. The literature shows a lack of ANN ...
A novel electrocoagulation electrode configuration for the removal of total organic carbon from primary treated municipal wastewater
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from a primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induces a ...
Preparation and properties of novel activated carbon doped with aluminum oxide and silver for water treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Novel activated carbon (AC) composite materials, namely AC doped with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and AC doped with Al2O3 and silver (Ag) nanoparticles, have been prepared via a one-step thermal decomposition method. The developed ...
Delineating the global plastic marine litter challenge: clarifying the misconceptions
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Plastics, owing to their various beneficial properties (durability, flexibility and lightweight nature), are widely regarded as the workhorse material of our modern society. Being ubiquitously and increasingly present over ...
A feasibility study of utilizing hydrothermal liquefaction derived aqueous phase as nutrients for semi-continuous cultivation of Tetraselmis sp.
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The feasibility of substituting 50% nutrients by aqueous phase liquid (APL), derived from hydrothermal liquefaction of Tetraselmis sp. biomass, in a semi-continuous cultivation of Tetraselmis sp. was studied. Growth ...
Comparative Assessment of Toxic Metals Bioaccumulation and the Mechanisms of Chromium (Cr) Tolerance and Uptake in Calotropis procera
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2020 , Article)
Progressive pollution due to toxic metals significantly undermines global environmental sustainability efforts. Chromium (Cr) is one of the most dangerous to human health. The use of plants to rid the environment of such ...
Preparation and characterization of new electrically conductive composites based on expanded graphite with potential use as remote environmental detectors
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The presented paper is focused on studying electrically conductive composites based on an elastomeric matrix and expanded graphite as the filler. A potential application as an environmental remote detector was studied. The ...
