Solar photocatalytic degradation of 2-chlorophenol with ZnO nanoparticles: optimisation with D-optimal design and study of intermediate mechanisms
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of toxic pollutant (2-chlorophenol) in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was investigated under solar radiation. The three main factors, namely pH of solution, solar ...
Effect of membrane performance including fouling on cost optimization in brackish water desalination process
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2017 , Article)
Membrane selection is a crucial step that will affect the economic feasibility of the membrane water treatment process. A comprehensive evaluation consisting of Verberne Cost Model, assessment of membrane performance and ...
High-efficiency c-Si based interdigitated point contact back heterojunction solar cells
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
We report on the modeling and performance optimization studies of point contact back heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. BHJ solar cell technology is a combination of front heterojunction (a-Si:H/c-Si) solar cell technology ...
Catalytic evaluation of Ni-based nano-catalysts in dry reformation of methane
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Development of a highly efficient, nickel-based nano-catalyst in the carbon dioxide reformation of methane is reported. The alumina supported Ni-based catalyst with a metal loading of 5wt% was prepared via solution combustion ...

Copper is one of the most valuable and prevalent metals used in the industry. There are many techniques to treat different types of industrial wastewater that are contaminated with heavy metals such as copper. This article ...
Potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae for carbon dioxide bio-fixation and advanced wastewater treatment
(
AIChE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae (MIMA) as a CO2 capturing technology and treatment process for wastewaters was evaluated at two temperatures ( 25 and 30 C) and different CO2 dosage ( 0%, 5% and 15%). During ...
PdZn nanoparticle electrocatalysts synthesized by solution combustion for methanol oxidation reaction in an alkaline medium
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Herein, we report the synthesis of PdZn nanoparticle (NP) electrocatalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The PdZn NPs were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis in the presence of Pd(NO3)2·xH2O, ...

, 2017 , Article)
The influence of surface charge type and density, and molecular weight of cationic, anionic and amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) on the electrokinetics, adsorption and flocculation behavior of highly stable bentonite ...
Large CO2 uptake on a monolayer of CaO
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Density functional theory calculations are used to study gas adsorption properties of a recently synthesized CaO monolayer, which is found to be thermodynamically stable in its buckled form. Due to its topology and strong ...
