Development of novel thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes for desalination

Qiblawey H.; Kumar H.; Nasser M.; Benamor A.; Al-Ghouti M. ( American Institute of Physics Inc. , 2019 , Conference Paper)

Microporous Polyetherimide (PEI) membranes were prepared by wet phase inversion at different temperatures. The thin film composites (TFC) of polyamide on microporous PEI were prepared using meta-Phenylenediamine (MPD) and ...

Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide in aqueous blends of N-methyldiethanolamine and L-arginine using the stopped-flow technique

Mahmud N.; Benamor A.; Nasser M.; El-Naas M.H.; Tontiwachwuthikul P. ( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)

Reduction of carbon dioxide emission from natural and industrial flue gases is paramount to help mitigate its effect on global warming. Efforts are continuously deployed worldwide to develop efficient technologies for CO ...

Organically modified nanoclay filled thin-film nanocomposite membranes for reverse osmosis application

Zaidi S.J.; Fadhillah F.; Saleem H.; Hawari A.; Benamor A. ( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)

This study validates, for the first time, the effectiveness of two nanoclays, that is, cloisite (CS)-15A and montmorillonite (MNT) at the polyamide (PA) active layer in the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Cloisite-15A is ...

Influence of polyelectrolytes and other polymer complexes on the flocculation and rheological behaviors of clay minerals: A comprehensive review

Shaikh S.M.R.; Nasser M.S.; Hussein I.; Benamor A.; Onaizi S.A.; ... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ...

A hybrid electro-coagulation/forward osmosis system for treatment of produced water

Al Hawli B.; Benamor A.; Hawari A.A. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)

Oil and gas exploration produce large volumes highly contaminated produced water (PW) which exhibits a major environmental challenge. This work investigates the application of a novel hybrid system by combining electro-coagulation ...

Kinetics of CO 2 reaction with N-methyldiethanolamine and aminobutanol using stopped flow technique

Benamor A.; Mahmud N.; Nasser M.; Qiblawey H. ( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2018 , Conference Paper)

Removal of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from natural gas streams is mandatory to avoid pipeline corrosion, increase the heating value of the gas and reduce the gas volume in case of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The use of ...

Adsorption of organic pollutants by natural and modified clays: A comprehensive review

Awad A.M.; Shaikh S.M.R.; Jalab R.; Gulied M.H.; Nasser M.S.; ... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article Review)

Adsorption process has been widely used for treatment of wastewaters due to its simplicity and lower costs as compared to other traditional technologies. Among the alternative sorbent materials, the use of abundantly ...

Investigation of the effect of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite dispersions

Shaikh S.M.R.; Nasser M.S.; Hussein I.A.; Benamor A. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)

The influence of surface charge type and density, and molecular weight of cationic, anionic and amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) on the electrokinetics, adsorption and flocculation behavior of highly stable bentonite ...

Impact of combined oil-in-water emulsions and particulate suspensions on ceramic membrane fouling and permeability recovery

Abdalla M.; Nasser M.; Kayvani Fard A.; Qiblawey H.; Benamor A.; ... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)

The application of crossflow ceramic microfiltration (CFCMF) to the removal of emulsified oil from a simple analogue of raw produced water (PW) arising from oil exploration has been studied. Outcomes relate to surfactant ...

Distinguishing characteristics and usability of graphene oxide based on different sources of graphite feedstock

Mahmoudi E.; Ang W.L.; Ng C.Y.; Ng L.Y.; Mohammad A.W.; ... more authors ... less authors ( Academic Press Inc. , 2019 , Article)

Graphene oxide (GO) has gained popularity in scientific research and industry due to its superior properties, which can be controlled by the synthesis method and graphite feedstock. Despite the availability of different ...
