Optimization of magnesium recovery from reject brine for reuse in desalination post-treatment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, the recovery of magnesium from desalination reject brine through reaction with ammonia has been evaluated and statistically optimized using response surface methodology. The process is based on precipitation ...
Cascaded design of desalination systems: A graphical approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
A graphical technique to design staged desalination systems is introduced in this work by utilizing the concept of composite curves. Material recycle networks (MRNs), which are very popular graphical tools, also rely on ...
Optimizing network pathways of CO2 conversion processes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has gained great attraction as an alternative route of producing carbon-based chemicals, which also mitigates atmospheric CO2. This paper develops a numerical optimization model that ...
Review on recent advances in polythiophene based photovoltaic devices
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article Review)
Discovery of conducting polymer introduced us to the total polymeric solar cells (PSC). During the last decade, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of these solar cells has increased from 1% to 11.5% (with the bulk heterojunction ...
A sustainable approach to synthesize phosphonated chitosan using ball milling and its application for oilfield scale management
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2022 , Article)
For many years, the oil and gas industry has strived to develop environmentally friendly organophosphorus-based scale inhibitors. The natural polymer chitosan has recently gained significant importance for various upstream ...
Rheology of upstream complex fluids
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Rheology is an important characterizing technique as it affects all types of fluids. While oil and gas recovery is an operation that depends mainly on the interaction between different fluids, it is therefore important to ...
Studying the effect of solvent properties in treatment design within CO2 Integration Networks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Book chapter)
Carbon Dioxide Integration mainly targets the recovery of CO2 streams, and assesses the allocation of those recovered streams into CO2-using sinks, with an overall aim of attaining a minimum cost of a CO2 network that could ...
The emergence of multifunctional adsorbents and their role in environmental remediation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Water pollution is a growing issue which requires various treatment technologies for efficient and effective remediation. Adsorption is one of the dominant wastewater treatment technologies due to its flexible operation ...
The development of a process simulator transport model for RO systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
This paper introduces solute-solvent interactions onto a universal transport modeling approach that has been recently introduced for predicting RO membrane performance. The mathematical modeling framework utilizes chemical ...
Impact of Surfactant on the Retention of CO2 and Methane in Carbonate Reservoirs
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Enhanced gas recovery methods such as foamed CO2 are recommended for depleted gas reservoirs. Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) is a form of a surfactant used for forming CO2 foam. In this study, the impact of VES on CH4 and ...
