Adsorption of an anionic surfactant at air-liquid and different solid-liquid interfaces from solutions containing high counter-ion concentration
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
The self-assembly (adsorption) of the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS), at air-liquid and different (octadecanethiol, β-mercaptoethanol, α-lipoic acid) solid-liquid interfaces from aqueous solutions ...
Influence of modified clay on the structure and performance of polysulfocomposite membrane
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
Highly porous modified clay material with large surface area known as ?Filtralite? was used as a filler for the preparation of polysulfone (PSf) composite membranes. Filtralite concentration in the membrane composition was ...
Phyllosilicate nanoclay-based aqueous nanoparticle sorbent for CO2 capture at ambient conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
We report a new and effective aqueous sorbent for CO2 capture at ambient conditions based on aminopropyl magnesium phyllosilicate nanoparticles (aminoclay). Combining the advantages of both liquid and solid amine sorbents, ...
Electrocoagulation treatment of reject brine effluent from Solvay process
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
Solvay process is an efficient treatment technique for reject brine from desalination, where salinity
is reduced by removing Na+
by adding NH3
. However, in this process large amounts of NH3
are
consumed and Cl–
...
Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ...
Immobilization of microbial cells for the biotreatment of wastewater: A review
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article Review)
Industrial wastewater often contains different complex impurities that are hazardous to the environment and human health, making wastewater treatment a necessity prior to its disposal. This review focuses on cell immobilization ...
Synthesis, characterization and performance of Pd-based core-shell methane oxidation nano-catalysts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, a comparative investigation of the catalytic performances of Pd@TiO2 and Pd@CeO2, core-shells nanocatalysts supported over functionalized alumina, for application to methane oxidation is presented. The results ...
Surface plasmon inhibited photo-luminescence activation in CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
In a composite film of Cdx Sey Zn1-x S1-y gradient core-shell quantum dots (QDs) and gold nanorods (NRs), the optical properties of the QDs are drastically affected by the plasmonic nanoparticles. We provide a careful study ...
Investigation of the hydrogen adsorbed density inside the pores of MOF-5 from path integral grand canonical Monte Carlo at supercritical and subcritical temperature
(
Science in China Press
, 2016 , Article)
We examine the high density limit of the adsorption isotherms of hydrogen on MOF-5. The isotherms are calculated using quantum GCMC simulations over the pressure range: 0–150 atm (1 atm = 1.01325 × 105 Pa) in the subcritical ...
Rheological characterization of NA2CO3 activated calcium bentonite for oil and gas drilling applications
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Calcium bentonite was activated with soda ash (Na2CO3) at various ratios and due to the ion exchange; the original Ca-bentonite was converted to Na-bentonite. It was found that the Na2CO3 activation improves the swelling ...
