Energy consumption and environmental impact assessment of desalination plants and brine disposal strategies
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2021 , Article)
Nowadays, desalination plants are considered as tools to utilize water from different natural resources such as seawater and brackish water. Globally, the number of desalination plants are increasing to achieve the high ...
Experimental analysis and modeling of the methane degradation in a three stage biofilter using composted sawdust as packing media
(
J. Environ. Manage.
, 2021 , Article)
Methane gas is a very effective greenhouse gas and the second-largest contributor to global warming. Biofiltration is an effective technology that uses microorganisms to degrade the pollutant by oxidizing it. In this work, ...
Enhanced Performance of Oxygen-Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Support for Pt and Pt-Ru Bimetallic Catalysts for Methanol Electrooxidation
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
The performance of Pt-Ru catalysts for methanol electrooxidation has been greatly enhanced by replacing the standard carbon XC72 support with oxygen-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Highly dispersed, ...

Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Background: Generating vaccine that confers a complete protection is a major goal in designing a universal influenza vaccine. Currently, there is a considerable interest in the broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAb) targeting ...
Formation and Structure of Sulfide Deposits on Carbon Steel Under Free Corrosion Potential
(
Association for Materials Protection and Performance
, 2021 , Article)
The corrosion of alloy materials in the H2S environment has considerably limited the growth of oilfield manufacturing. The sour corrosion of iron has frequently been studied, and steel corrosion under the H2S scheme has ...
Sulfobetaine-based polydisulfides with tunable upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in water alcohols mixture, depolymerization kinetics and surface wettability
(
Academic Press Inc.
