Arabic gum as green agent for ZnO nanoparticles synthesis: properties, mechanism and antibacterial activity
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
The size and morphology of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were controlled in the presence of the natural and green agent, Arabic gum. Lower amounts of Arabic gum showed a greater effect on the size and morphology as well as ...
Development of polysulfone-nanohybrid membranes using ZnO-GO composite for enhanced antifouling and antibacterial control
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles were well-known for the enhanced antifouling and antibacterial properties which could be beneficial for membrane processes in desalination. The functionalization of ZnO onto graphene oxide nanoplates ...
Novel Graphene-Zinc Iron Oxide Composite to Enhance Ultrafiltration Membrane Performance for Water Treatment and Desalination
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The main target of membrane technologies such as the Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF) and Reverse osmosis (RO) is to produce better filtration and separation of organic and inorganic substance from water as well ...
Decoration of polylactic acid on graphene oxide for efficient adsorption of methylene blue and tetracycline
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
Decorating nanomaterials on graphene oxide (GO) can enhance its adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of water pollutants. In this study, for the first time, nano-sized polylactic acid (PLA) has been successfully ...
The emergence of multifunctional adsorbents and their role in environmental remediation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Water pollution is a growing issue which requires various treatment technologies for efficient and effective remediation. Adsorption is one of the dominant wastewater treatment technologies due to its flexible operation ...

The advent of nanotechnology has provided an interesting approach in terms of the application of nanocomposite materials in different sectors of water and wastewater treatment. Various works have demonstrated the significant ...
Simultaneous removal of Congo red and cadmium (II) from aqueous solutions using graphene oxide–silica composite as a multifunctional adsorbent
(
Chinese Academy of Sciences
, 2020 , Article)
Graphene oxide is a very high capacity adsorbent due to its functional groups and π−π interactions with other compounds. Adsorption capacity of graphene oxide, however, can be further enhanced by having synergistic effects ...
Synthesis and characterization of Sm3+-doped ZnO nanoparticles via a sol–gel method and their photocatalytic application
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract: Spherical ZnO nanoparticles doped by samarium ions were successfully synthesized via a simple sol–gel method. The structures, morphologies, optical properties and surface areas were investigated for all samples ...
Microwave-assisted conversion of palm kernel shell biomass waste to photoluminescent carbon dots
(
scientific reports
, 2020 , Article)
In the present work, palm kernel shell (PKS) biomass waste has been used as a low-cost and easily available precursor to prepare carbon dots (CDs) via microwave irradiation method. The impacts of the reacting medium: water ...
