Data mining for pesticide decontamination using heterogeneous photocatalytic processes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Pesticides are chemical compounds used to kill pests and weeds. Due to their nature, pesticides are potentially toxic to many organisms, including humans. Among the various methods used to decontaminate pesticides from the ...
Influence of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the degree of flocculation and rheological behavior of industrial MBR sludge
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The influence of polyelectrolyte's type and structure on the rheological characteristics of industrial highly stable membrane bioreactor (MBR) sludge have been investigated and were related to its degree of flocculation ...
Cellulose microfibers (CMFs) as a smart carrier for autonomous self-healing in epoxy coatings
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Synthesized cellulose microfibers (CMFs) were used as a smart carrier for the loading of inhibitor-dodecylamine (DOC) and inhibitor/self-healing polyethyleneimine (PEI). The loaded CMFs were thoroughly dispersed into the ...
Autonomous self-healing in epoxy coatings provided by high efficiency isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) microcapsules for protection of carbon steel
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
This work aims at investigating the self-healing ability of epoxy coatings, modified with microcapsules containing highly reactive isocyanate in their core. Highly efficient, thermally and chemically stable isophorone ...
Microwave Enhanced Synthesis of Sulfonated Chitosan-Montmorillonite for Effective Removal of Methylene Blue
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, sulfonated chitosan montmorillonite composite (S-CS-MT) beads were synthesized using a microwave irradiation method designed to have a better saving-time procedure. The potency of S-CS-MT as an adsorbent was ...
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on calcite for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on calcite (104) has been studied by means of Density Functional Theory for molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) CO2 injection. Results show ...
Ti3C2Tx mxene-based light-responsive hydrogel composite for bendable bilayer photoactuator
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Soft actuators based on hydrogel materials, which can convert light energy directly into mechanical energy, are of the utmost importance, especially with enhancements in device development. However, the hunt for specific ...
Application of bioelectrochemical systems to regulate and accelerate the anaerobic digestion processes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion (AD) serves as a potential bioconversion process to treat various organic wastes/wastewaters, including sewage sludge, and generate renewable green energy. Despite its efficiency, AD has several limitations ...
Paper mill sludge as a source of sugars for use in the production of bioethanol and isoprene
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Paper mill sludge (PMS) solids are predominantly comprised of cellulosic fibers and fillers rejected during the pulping or paper making process. Most sludges are dewatered and discharged into landfills or land spread at a ...
A CFD- RSM study of cuttings transport in non-Newtonian drilling fluids: Impact of operational parameters
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Cuttings removal out of the wellbore represents a real barrier for successful drilling operations. The performance of hole cleaning is determined by several factors. The current article provides a theoretical study of the ...
