Development of polysulfone-nanohybrid membranes using ZnO-GO composite for enhanced antifouling and antibacterial control
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles were well-known for the enhanced antifouling and antibacterial properties which could be beneficial for membrane processes in desalination. The functionalization of ZnO onto graphene oxide nanoplates ...
Evaluation of an activated carbon packed bed for the adsorption of phenols from petroleum refinery wastewater
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The performance of an adsorption column packed with granular activated carbon was evaluated for the removal of phenols from refinery wastewater. The effects of phenol feed concentration (80–182 mg/l), feed flow rate (5–20 ...
Microbial degradation of chlorophenols
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2017 , Article)
Chlorophenols (CPs) are hazardous pollutant that are commonly encountered as major constituents of several types of wastewater such as industrial, refinery and pharmaceutical wastewater. They are also exposed to the ...
A new process for the capture of CO2 and reduction of water salinity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The present work evaluates a new process for the capture of CO2 and the reduction of water salinity. It is based on the Solvay process without the use of ammonia and involves the reaction of CO2 with saline water such as ...
Evaluation of a novel gas-liquid contactor/reactor system for natural gas applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, a novel system for contacting gases and liquids, which may be suitable for many applications involving gas-liquid contact or gas-liquid reactions, has been developed and characterized. The system consists ...
Influence of polyelectrolytes and other polymer complexes on the flocculation and rheological behaviors of clay minerals: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article Review)
Separation of clay minerals from industrial wastewaters is of great academic and practical importance. Current treatment techniques are either not economically viable, not environmentally friendly, or both. Thus, researchers ...
Optimized long-range corrected density functionals for electronic and optical properties of bare and ligated CdSe quantum dots
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
The reliable prediction of optical and fundamental gaps of finite size systems using density functional theory requires to account for the potential self-interaction error, which is notorious for degrading the description ...
Biotransformation of carbon dioxide in bioelectrochemical systems: State of the art and future prospects
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization/recycling for the production of chemicals and gaseous/liquid energy-carriers is a way to moderate the rising CO2 in the atmosphere. One of the possible solutions for the CO2 sequestration ...
Synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles to enhance polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane performance for salt rejection
(
Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC
, 2017 , Article)
The main target of membrane technologies is to provide better filtration and separation of organic and inorganic substance from water as well as for longer life of the membrane. Iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) ...
