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 ...

Pyrite Scale Removal Using Green Formulations for Oil and Gas Applications: Reaction Kinetics

Ahmed M.E.M.; Saad M.A.; Hussein I.A.; Onawole A.T.; Mahmoud M. ( American Chemical Society , 2019 , Article)

Pyrite is one of the toughest iron sulfide scales to remove, which causes major problems in oil and gas production by damaging production equipment. The use of inorganic acid in iron sulfide scale removal particularly ...

Modified zno nanoparticles using iron ions (Fe3+) for photo-catalytic degradation of toxic pollutants under sunlight

Ba-Abbad, Muneer M.; Takriff, Mohd S.; Kadhum, Abdul Amir H.; Mohamad, Abu Bakar; Benamor, Abdelbaki; ... more authors ... less authors ( Nova Science Publishers, Inc. , 2019 , Book chapter)

The optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles were modified using various dopant concentrations of iron (Fe3+) via a sol-gel method. To investigate of ZnO nanoparticles, the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy ...

A study on stability of active layer of polymer solar cells: effect of UV–visible light with different conditions

Mehmood U.; Harrabi K.; Hussein I.A.; Shanmugam N.; Mekki A.; ... more authors ... less authors ( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)

The objective of this study is to investigate the stability of the active layer of polymer solar cells from the effect of UV–visible light irradiation using different conditions with respect to time. The active layers were ...

Application of DFT in iron sulfide scale removal from oil and gas wells

Onawole A.; Hussein I.; Saad M.; Ahmed M.; Aparicio S. ( European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE , 2019 , Conference Paper)

Scale formation including those formed by iron sulfides have been a major hassle in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry for many decades. Iron Sulfide scales including pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) often ...

Role of organic cation in modern lead-based perovskites

Alwarappan G.; Alam M.R.; Hassan W.M.I.; Shibl M.F.; Alfalah S.; ... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)

Hybrid organic-inorganic metal perovskites (ABX3, A- organic cation, B-metal ion, X-halide ion) have shown significant potential as thin-film solar cells or Dye solar cells (DSC) materials. Using a time-dependent density ...
