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 ...
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 ...
Carbon mineralization by reaction with steel-making waste: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is taking the lead as a means for mitigating climate change. It is considered a crucial bridging technology, enabling carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from fossil fuels to be reduced ...
Development of novel thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes for desalination
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Microporous Polyetherimide (PEI) membranes were prepared by wet phase inversion at different temperatures. The thin film composites (TFC) of polyamide on microporous PEI were prepared using meta-Phenylenediamine (MPD) and ...
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 comprehensive review on the rheological behavior of imidazolium based ionic liquids and natural deep eutectic solvents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
The rheological behavior of a fluid is an important property that has a distinct impact on its flow conduct, which influence viscosity dependent phenomena and applications such as pumping, mass transfer rates, and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Adsorption of organic pollutants by natural and modified clays: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Adsorption process has been widely used for treatment of wastewaters due to its simplicity and lower costs as compared to other traditional technologies. Among the alternative sorbent materials, the use of abundantly ...
CO2 capture from water-gas shift process plant: Comparative bench-scale pilot plant investigation of MDEA-PZ blend vs novel MDEA activated by 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This research is a bench-scale pilot plant investigation of novel amine solvent blend containing MDEA and 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane (DA2MP) for CO2 capture from water-gas shift process plant (H2 production). The CO2 ...
