Pilot-scale evaluation of forward osmosis membranes for volume reduction of industrial wastewater
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Water treatment is a key aspect for the sustainable management of oil & gas operations. Osmotic concentration (OC) is an advanced water treatment process, adapted from forward osmosis (FO), that does not require water ...
Porous ternary Pt-based branched nanostructures for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2022 , Article)
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is pivotal for optimizing the energy output of fuel cells and metal-air batteries; however, their commercialization is precluded by the intolerable cost, instability, earth-scarcity of ...
Adsorption of organic water pollutants by clays and clay minerals composites: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
Clays and clay minerals are inexpensive, non-toxic, and naturally occurring minerals that have been utilized in water remediation as adsorbents. However, clays and clay minerals and those modified with heat, surfactants, ...
