Fabrication of high flux nanofiltration membrane via hydrogen bonding based co-deposition of polydopamine with poly(vinyl alcohol)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The use of bio-inspired polydopamine (PDA) chemistry for membrane development has attracted increasing interest in recent years. This paper reports on the fabrication of new nanofiltration (NF) membrane with a robust and ...
Steel-Making dust as a potential adsorbent for the removal of lead (II) from an aqueous solution
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The presence of high concentrations of toxic heavy metals such as lead Pb(II) in water is a major hazard to human health and may have a detrimental effect on the aquatic life and the environment. Implementing an efficient ...
Reducing energy consumption of CO2 desorption in CO2-loaded aqueous amine solution using Al2O3/HZSM-5 bifunctional catalysts
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The aim of this work is to find a potential way for great decrease in CO2 capture energy requirement. Here, for the first time, a series of bifunctional Al2O3/HZSM-5 catalysts (Al-ZSM) were prepared by the combined ...
Clogging vs. fouling in immersed membrane bioreactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Whilst the fouling of MBR membrane surfaces has been very extensively explored by the academic community, there is an increasingly widespread recognition by practitioners of the issue of clogging of membrane channels with ...
Effect of outdoor temperature on the power-conversion efficiency of newly synthesized organic photosensitizer based dye-sensitized solar cells
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, organic photosensitizer has been synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The solar cells then fabricated have been characterized by photocurrent-voltage characteristics and electrochemical impedance ...
Inter-phase charge and energy transfer in Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites: Critical role of the spacing cations
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Photo-generated charge carrier dynamics in Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites with linear (n-BA) and branched (iso-BA) butylamine as spacing cations have been studied by using transient absorption and time-resolved ...
Synthesis, characterization and performance of Pd-based core-shell methane oxidation nano-catalysts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, a comparative investigation of the catalytic performances of Pd@TiO2 and Pd@CeO2, core-shells nanocatalysts supported over functionalized alumina, for application to methane oxidation is presented. The results ...
Stimulation of high temperature carbonate gas reservoirs using seawater and chelating agents: Reaction kinetics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The use of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in gas well stimulation of high temperature reservoirs is currently facing different challenges. These challenges include rapid corrosion of the well tubulars, face dissolution, very high ...
CO2 capture from lime kiln using AMP-DA2MP amine solvent blend: A pilot plant study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This experimental study covered pilot plant analysis of novel AMP and 1,5–diamino–2–methylpentane (DA2MP) amine solvent blend for CO2 capture from a lime kiln. The gas flow rate (F(GAS)), amine solution flow rate (F(amine)), ...
Effect of CO2 adsorption on enhanced natural gas recovery and sequestration in carbonate reservoirs
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, CO2 injection for the purpose of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) and sequestration after primary recovery is investigated on Pink Desert limestone from Edwards Plateau formation in central-west Texas. In this ...
