Membrane selection is a crucial step that will affect the economic feasibility of the membrane water treatment process. A comprehensive evaluation consisting of Verberne Cost Model, assessment of membrane performance and ...
Modified zno nanoparticles using iron ions (Fe3+) for photo-catalytic degradation of toxic pollutants under sunlight
(
Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
, 2019 , Book chapter)
The optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles were modified using various dopant concentrations of iron (Fe3+) via a sol-gel method. To investigate of ZnO nanoparticles, the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy ...
Improvement in Photovoltaic Performance of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Using Activated Carbon-TiO2 Composites-Based Photoanode
(
IEEE Electron Devices Society
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the activated carbon (AC) is synthesized from the oil fly ash (FA). Noncarbonaceous impurities were eliminated by acidic treatment of oil FA. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and scanning electron microscopy ...
Rheological and thermal properties of novel surfactant-polymer systems for EOR applications
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
In this work, two surfactant-polymer (SP) systems were evaluated for enhanced oil recovery applications. The first SP system contained partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and alkyl polyethylene glycol ether-based non-ionic ...
