Impact of alternate Mn doping in ternary nanocomposites on their structural, optical and antimicrobial properties: Comparative analysis of photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity
(
Academic Press
, 2023 , Article)
The present study was done to investigate and compare the photocatalytic and antibacterial activity of two in situ Manganese doped ternary nanocomposites. The dual ternary hybrid systems comprised Mn-doped Ag2WO4 coupled ...
Synthesis of nanostructured novel ion-imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu2+ and Sr2+ ions from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to ...
Preparation and properties of novel activated carbon doped with aluminum oxide and silver for water treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Novel activated carbon (AC) composite materials, namely AC doped with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and AC doped with Al2O3 and silver (Ag) nanoparticles, have been prepared via a one-step thermal decomposition method. The developed ...
Genomic Characterization and Annotation of Two Novel Bacteriophages Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Qatar
(
American Society for Microbiology
, 2022 , Article)
We report the genome sequences of Escherichia phage C600M2 (length, 88,162 bp; G1C content, 38.98%) and Escherichia phage CL1 (length, 87,820 bp; G1C content, 41.32%), which were isolated from a wastewater treatment plant ...
Human health risks associated with trace metals in dust of residential arid areas
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Composite dust samples were collected on a monthly basis over a full year from Doha, Qatar. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) was used for the determination of total concentrations of Na, K, Mg, Ca, Li, ...
Substantiation of propitious “Enzybiotic” from two novel bacteriophages isolated from a wastewater treatment plant in Qatar
(
Springer Nature
, 2022 , Article)
Lysin of bacteriophages isolated from a particular ecosystem could be inducted as a bio-controlling tool against the inhabiting pathogenic bacterial strains. Our study aims at both experimental and computational characterization ...
Mapping of trace elements in topsoil of arid areas and assessment of ecological and human health risks in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Soil is the incubator of human activities. Mapping of soil contaminants needs to be constantly updated. It is fragile in arid regions, especially if it accompanies dramatic and successive industrial and urban activities ...
Probabilistic human health risk assessment of trace elements in ballast water treated by reverse osmosis desalination plants
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Very few studies have paid attention to the transport of heavy and toxic metals via ballast water coming from different countries of the world. In the present study, ballast water samples (n = 83) were collected from ships, ...
Aquaculture sediments amended with biochar improved soil health and plant growth in a degraded soil
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Sustainable and safe management of aquaculture sediments is of great concern. Biochar (BC) and fishpond sediments (FPS) are rich in organic carbon and nutrients and thus can be used as soil amendments; however, it is not ...
Evaluation of processed sludge as a sustainable and efficient soil conditioner and organic fertiliser for Qatari soil
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2022 , Article)
Qatar is implementing the use of treated sludge as a sustainable resource in the green infrastructure. The study employed an experimental research design where five samples (two kilograms each) of pelletised sludge of both ...
