Chromium removal from tannery wastewater by electrocoagulation: Optimization and sludge characterization
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The treatment of tannery effluent is of great interest as it contains a complexmixture ofpollutants, primarily chromium. The disposal of this wastewater can have adverse effects on the environment and aquatic life, which ...
Biotechnology for gas-to-liquid (GTL)wastewater treatment: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology involves the conversion of natural gas into several liquid hydrocarbon products. The Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process is the most widely applied approach for GTL, and it is the main source of ...
Osmotic pressure estimation using the Pitzer equation for forward osmosis modelling
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2020 , Article)
Forward osmosis (FO) has received widespread recognition in the past decade due to its potential low energy production of water. This study presents a new model analysis for predicting the water flux in FO systems when ...
Microwave-assisted conversion of palm kernel shell biomass waste to photoluminescent carbon dots
(
scientific reports
, 2020 , Article)
In the present work, palm kernel shell (PKS) biomass waste has been used as a low-cost and easily available precursor to prepare carbon dots (CDs) via microwave irradiation method. The impacts of the reacting medium: water ...
Nanosheet synthesis of mixed Co3O4/CuO via combustion method for methanol oxidation and carbon dioxide reduction
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
This paper represents a study of mixed Co3O4/CuO nanosheet (NS) synthesis via solution combustion synthesis for oxidation of methanol and carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion. The mixed oxide NS of Co3O4/CuO is a hybrid structure ...
Interface Coassembly and Polymerization on Magnetic Colloids: Toward Core–Shell Functional Mesoporous Polymer Microspheres and Their Carbon Derivatives
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Core–shell structured magnetic mesoporous polymer or carbon-based microspheres not only possess the combined merits of magnetic particles and stable mesoporous shell but also provide various organic functional groups for ...
The recent advances in the mechanical properties of self-standing two-dimensional MXene-based nanostructures: Deep insights into the supercapacitor
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
MXenes have emerged as promising materials for various mechanical applications due to their outstanding physicochemical merits, multilayered structures, excellent strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity. Despite ...
Pilot-scale investigation of flowrate and temperature influence on the performance of hollow fiber forward osmosis membrane in osmotic concentration process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Forward osmosis (FO) relying on the osmotic pressure difference across semi-permeable membrane draws permeate by the effect of saline draw solution (DS) turning diluted and leaving the feed solution (FS) concentrated. ...
Early gas kick detection in vertical wells via transient multiphase flow modelling: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Gas influx from reservoir into the wellbore during drilling, tripping, or other operations, is a hazard. In the early stages, the influx may be nearly undetectable, but the kick can rapidly change from a seemingly steady ...
Computational fluid dynamics simulation of an Inert Particles Spouted Bed Reactor (IPSBR) system
(
De Gruyter Open Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
A novel system for contacting gases and liquids, suitable for many applications involving gas-liquid contact such as CO2 capture and brine desalination, has been simulated and experimentally validated. The system comprises ...
