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, ...
Carbonaceous and nitrogenous disinfection by-product formation from algal organic matter
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Seasonal algal blooms in drinking water sources release intracellular and extracellular algal organic matter (AOM) in significant concentrations into the water. This organic matter provides precursors for disinfection ...
Effects of sodium carbonate addition, heat and agitation on swelling and rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The effects of the addition of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and the subsequent simultaneous heating and stirring on the rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions have been investigated in this study. Ca-bentonite ...
Synthesis and characterisation of Co2+-incorporated ZnO nanoparticles prepared through a sol-gel method
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The properties of ZnO nanoparticles were modified by doping them with cobalt ions (Co2+) in various compositions through a sol-gel route. The Co2+-doped ZnO nanoparticles were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...
The effect of site-specific spectral densities on the high-dimensional exciton-vibrational dynamics in the FMO complex
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The coupled exciton-vibrational dynamics of a three-site model of the FMO complex is investigated using the Multi-layer Multi-configuration Time-dependent Hartree (ML-MCTDH) approach. Emphasis is put on the effect of the ...
Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Oil contaminated water is one of the challenges in water resources management. It is crucial to remove the oil droplets from water in order to meet the discharge regulations set by the environmental authorities. Carbon ...
Steel-Making dust as a potential adsorbent for the removal of lead (II) from an aqueous solution
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The presence of high concentrations of toxic heavy metals such as lead Pb(II) in water is a major hazard to human health and may have a detrimental effect on the aquatic life and the environment. Implementing an efficient ...
Reducing energy consumption of CO2 desorption in CO2-loaded aqueous amine solution using Al2O3/HZSM-5 bifunctional catalysts
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The aim of this work is to find a potential way for great decrease in CO2 capture energy requirement. Here, for the first time, a series of bifunctional Al2O3/HZSM-5 catalysts (Al-ZSM) were prepared by the combined ...
The effect of sulfur dioxide on the activity of hierarchical Pd-based catalysts in methane combustion
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
SO2 poisoning of methane oxidation over alumina-supported, Pd@CexZr1−xO2 nanoparticle catalysts was systematically studied by means of advanced PhotoElectron Spectroscopy (PES) methods. The Pd@CexZr1−xO2 units were synthesized ...
Modification of Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of ZrO2
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Modification of a 1 wt% Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of thin ZrO2 films was studied. Calcination of the unmodified Pd/CeO2, prepared by precipitation of aqueous Ce(NO3)3 solutions, with Pd added by impregnation, ...
