ZnO@C (core@shell) microspheres derived from spent coffee grounds as applicable non-precious electrode material for DMFCs
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Although numerous reports have introduced non precious electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation, most of those studies did not consider the corresponding high onset potential which restricts utilization in real fuel cells. ...
Patulin and patulin producing Penicillium spp. occurrence in apples and apple-based products including baby food
(
The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
, 2017 , Article)
Introduction: Patulin has raised the international attention because of its health risk. In fact, it has mutagenic, neurotoxic, immunotoxic, genotoxic and gastrointestinal effects in animals. In the present work, patulin ...
Electrochemical oxidation/disinfection of urine wastewaters with different anode materials
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
In the present work, electrochemical technology was used simultaneously for the deactivation of microorganisms and the destruction of micro-pollutants contained in synthetic urine wastewaters. Microorganisms (E. coli) were ...
Leaching of Some Essential and Non-Essential Heavy Metals from Modern Glazed Ceramic Crockeries Imported into Qatar from China, India and Spain
(
OMICS International
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, the leaching potential of ceramic crockeries available in Qatar market has been evaluated
using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Ceramic crockeries decorated with glaze matter
containing ...
Capacitance of MnO2 Micro-Flowers Decorated CNFs in Alkaline Electrolyte and Its Bi-Functional Electrocatalytic Activity toward Hydrazine Oxidation
(
ESG
, 2017 , Article)
Well-dispersed MnO2 micro-flowers were grown directly on carbon nanofibers via a simple hydrothermal technique without any template. Structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission ...
Application of yeasts and yeast derivatives for the biological control of toxigenic fungi and their toxic metabolites
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Mycotoxins, the metabolites of toxigenic fungi are important contaminants of food and agriculture industry throughout the world. Among the different strategies to minimize the mycotoxins synthesis and decontamination of ...
Effective NiMn nanoparticles-functionalized carbon felt as an effective anode for direct urea fuel cells
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The internal resistances of fuel cells strongly affect the generated power. Basically, in the fuel cell, the anode can be prepared by deposition of a film from the functional electrocatalyst on a proper gas diffusion layer. ...
Catalytic Degradation of 4-Ethylpyridine in Water by Heterogeneous Photo-Fenton Process
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, the degradation of 4-ethylpyridine (4EP) in water by a heterogeneous photo-Fenton process (H2O2/Fe3O4/ultraviolet irradiation (UV)) was investigated. More rapid and effective 4EP degradation was obtained with ...
Ecological and health risks assessment of potentially toxic metals and metalloids contaminants: A case study of agricultural soils in Qatar
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
© 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. In recent years, Qatar has witnessed exponential growth in the human population, urbanization, and increased anthropogenic activities, including agriculture. ...
Energy recovery and nutrients recycling from municipal sewage sludge
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) could be a promising and better alternative to other techniques for energy recovery from municipal sewage sludge (MSS). However, the nutrients (i.e., N, and P) recovery potential from the ...
