Facile and Novel LiAlO2 Film Electrodes for Energy Efficient Li recovery from Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) Brine
Hafsa, Umme; Zavahir, Sifani; ElMakki, Tasneem; Ahmad, Zubair; Han, Dong Suk ( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Concentration of Li in seawater is too low at 0.17 ppm despite its high content altogether with a reported 230 billion tons. Hence, seawater is not a practical source to recover Li from; Li is largely extracted by solar ... -
Immobilization of concanavalin A lectin on a reduced graphene oxide-thionine surface by glutaraldehyde crosslinking for the construction of an impedimetric biosensor
Filip, Jaroslav; Zavahir, Sifani; Klukova, Ludmila; Tkac, Jan; Kasak, Peter ( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)Lectins, which are proteins with selective affinity to glycans or glycoproteins, have been recognized as promising agents for the construction of devices for the detection of specific glycoproteins and for glycoprofiling. ... -
