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 ...
2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers with enhanced mechanical and electrical properties
(
Public Library of Science
, 2017 , Article)
Novel 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers have been successfully fabricated by an electrospinning technique. The high aspect ratio, hydrophilic surfaces, and metallic conductivity of delaminated ...
Cold Plasma as Effective Tool for Aluminum Surface Cleaning
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Aluminum (Al) is heavily used to manufacture structural parts in the aeronautic, railway, automotive or naval industries because of its lightness and its corrosion resistance [1]. One of the most popular uses of Al is in ...
Separation of water/oil emulsions by an electrospun copolyamide mat covered with a 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: Copolyamide 6,10 (coPA) electrospun mats were covered with multilayered (ML) and single-layered (SL) MXene (Ti3C2Tx) as a membrane for the separation of water/vegetable oil emulsions. Methods: Prepared membranes ...
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 ...
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 ...
Enhancement of photovoltaic module performance by thermal management using shape-stabilized PCM composites
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Thermal management of photovoltaic (PV) panels is crucial due to the deterioration of their electrical efficiency at elevated operating temperatures. Therefore, thermal protection of PV against overheating is highly required. ...
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 ...
Reinforcement of copolyamide membranes for water treatment applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Clean water is the key element for all living organisms to sustain life. However, due to the rapid industrialization and large increase in the population, the contamination of water resources is important issue occurred ...
Modified os sepiae of Sepiella inermis as a low cost, sustainable, bio-based adsorbent for the effective remediation of boron from aqueous solution
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
The occurrence of boron in low concentration is essential; however, a higher concentration of boron source in water has a toxic effect on humans as well as have retard effect on agricultural plant growth. Thus, the affordable ...
