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 ...
Advanced Thermal Energy Systems Based On Paraffin Waxes Applicable In Building Industry
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference)
Thermal energy storage systems are crucial for reducing dependency on fossil fuels and minimizing CO2 emissions. The building sector is a major sector responsible for producing high levels of CO2 in most countries (including ...
Antibacterial Modification Of Polyethylene By Multistage Process Utilizing Low-temperature Plasma
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference)
Limiting factor of PE application in healthcare is high susceptibility of polyethylene towards bacterial growth. For this reason, antibacterial treatment of PE foils using appropriate antibacterial agents was used in this ...
Reinforcement of copolyamide membranes for water treatment applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference)
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 ...
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 ...
Cold Plasma as Effective Tool for Aluminum Surface Cleaning
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference)
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 ...
The separation of oil/water mixtures by modified melamine and polyurethane foams: A review
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
Melamine (MA) and polyurethane (PU) foams, including both commercial sponges for daily use as well as newly synthesized foams are known for their high sorption ability of both polar and unipolar liquids. From this reason, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
