Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide in aqueous blends of N-methyldiethanolamine and L-arginine using the stopped-flow technique
(
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
(
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 ...
A hybrid electro-coagulation/forward osmosis system for treatment of produced water
(
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 ...
Intergraded wastewater treatment and carbon bio-fixation from flue gases using Spirulina platensis and mixed algal culture
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, Spirulina platensis (SP.PL) and mixed algal culture (M.X) were used as an economical treatment technology to solve dual environmental issues related to carbon dioxide (CO2) capturing and wastewater treatment. ...
Bimetallic palladium-supported halloysite nanotubes for low temperature CO oxidation: Experimental and DFT insights
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The design and fabrication of novel metal-supported catalysts for energy conversion and heterogeneous catalysis is a pivotal theme. Herein, we present the synthesis of bimetallic palladium nanoalloys supported on halloysite ...
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 ...
An empirical determination of the whole-life cost of FO-based open-loop wastewater reclamation technologies
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Over the past 5–10 years it has become apparent that the significant energy benefit provided by forward osmosis (FO) for desalination arises only when direct recovery of the permeate product from the solution used to ...
Impact of combined oil-in-water emulsions and particulate suspensions on ceramic membrane fouling and permeability recovery
(
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
(
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 ...
Electrocoagulation treatment of reject brine effluent from Solvay process
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
Solvay process is an efficient treatment technique for reject brine from desalination, where salinity
is reduced by removing Na+
by adding NH3
. However, in this process large amounts of NH3
are
consumed and Cl–
