A practical approach to CO2 sequestration: Reactions with high salinity water
(
OMICS
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Carbon dioxide is known to be a major contributor to global warming and climate change and hence has an adverse effect on environmental sustainability. CO2 is emitted by various activities associated with industrial processes ...
Influence of Surfactant Structure on the Stability of Water-in-Oil Emulsions under High-Temperature High-Salinity Conditions
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2017 , Article)
Emulsified water-in-oil (W/O) systems are extensively used in the oil industry for water control and acid stimulation. Emulsifiers are commonly utilized to emulsify a water-soluble material to form W/O emulsion. The selection ...
Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy reveals the influence of charged sensitizing quantum dots on the electron dynamics in ZnO
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Photoinitiated charge carrier dynamics in ZnO nanoparticles sensitized by CdSe quantum dots is studied using transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. The evolution of the transient spectra ...
Enhanced Adsorption of Selenium Ions from Aqueous Solution Using Iron Oxide Impregnated Carbon Nanotubes
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this research was to investigate the potential of raw and iron oxide impregnated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as adsorbents for the removal of selenium (Se) ions from wastewater. The original and modified CNTs with ...
Regeneration Energy Analysis of Aqueous Tri-Solvent Blends Containing 2-Amino-2-Methyl-1-Propanol (AMP), Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and Diethylenetriamine (DETA) for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This study investigated the contribution of absorption heat, sensible heat and heat of vaporization towards the regeneration energy (Qreg, kJ/g-CO2) of AMP-MDEA-DETA tri-solvent blends. The experiment was conducted at ...
CO2 Reduction to Renewable Hydrocarbon Fuel - Mimicking Natural Photosynthesis
(
Springer Nature
, 2017 , Article)
We report on a wide-range Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigation of the g-C3N4 photocatalysis systems combined with metals/nonmetals, especially those available in plants and involved in the natural photosynthesis ...
Advanced wastewater treatment using microalgae: Effect of temperature on removal of nutrients and organic carbon
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This study evaluated the use of mixed indigenous microalgae (MIMA) as a treatment process for wastewaters and CO2 capturing technology at different temperatures. The study follows the growth rate of MIMA, CO2 Capturing ...
Analysis of CO2 Solubility and Absorption Heat into Aqueous 1-Diethylamino-2-propanol
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In this work, the CO2 equilibrium solubility in 2 M 1-diethylamino-2-propanol (1DEA2P) solution were determined as function of temperature (in the range of 298-333K), and CO2 partial pressure (in the range of 8-101 kPa). ...
Drastic difference between hole and electron injection through the gradient shell of Cd: XSeyZn1- xS1- y quantum dots
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy was used to investigate the hole injection in CdxSeyZn1−xS1−y gradient core–shell quantum dot (CSQD) sensitized p-type NiO photocathodes. A series of CSQDs with a wide range of shell ...
Instability in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells due to elemental migration and chemical composition changes
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have rapidly grown as favorable materials for photovoltaic applications, but accomplishing long-term stability is still a major research problem. This work demonstrates a new insight ...
