Removal of disinfection by-product precursors by coagulation and an innovative suspended ion exchange process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This investigation aimed to compare the disinfection by-product formation potentials (DBPFPs) of three UK surface waters (1 upland reservoir and 2 lowland rivers) with differing characteristics treated by (a) a full scale ...
Novel methodology for facile fabrication of nanofiltration membranes based on nucleophilic nature of polydopamine
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Novel methodology for facilely fabricating nanofiltration (NF) composite membrane has been successfully developed by employing nucleophilic nature of polydopamine (PDA) chemistry. The self-polymerized PDA coating over ...
Coagulant recovery and reuse for drinking water treatment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Coagulant recovery and reuse from waterworks sludge has the potential to significantly reduce waste disposal and chemicals usage for water treatment. Drinking water regulations demand purification of recovered coagulant ...
Mathematical modeling based evaluation and simulation of boron removal in bioelectrochemical systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Boron removal is an arising issue in desalination plants due to boron's toxicity. As an emerging treatment concept, bioelectrochemical systems (BES) can achieve potentially cost-effective boron removal by taking advantage ...
Innovative method of metal coating of microcapsules containing phase change materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Microencapsulation of phase change materials (PCMs) is needed to prevent PCM leaking during melting. However, the low thermal conductivity of the microcapsules shell limits their applications. To enhance thermal conductivity ...
Mathematical modeling assisted investigation of forward osmosis as pretreatment for microbial desalination cells to achieve continuous water desalination and wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Coupling forward osmosis (FO) with microbial desalination cells (MDCs) can lead to some synergistic benefits, i.e. simultaneous water recovery, desalination and removal of COD (chemical oxygen demand). Herein, an FO-MDC ...
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
naerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ...
Synthesis of water capture technologies for gas fired power plants in Qatar
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2020 , Article)
Flue gas from gas fired power plants contains 10-16% (w/w) water vapor with considerable amount of latent heat. Although CO2 capture and utilization have received great attention, water capture from power plant has received ...
Potential use of solar photocatalytic oxidation in removing emerging pharmaceuticals from wastewater: A pilot plant study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
A pilot plant was used to evaluate the potential of solar photocatalytic processes in the treatment of wastewater containing emerging contaminates. Four groups of commonly used pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, estrogens, ...
Impact of CO 2 concentration and ambient conditions on microalgal growth and nutrient removal from wastewater by a photobioreactor
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration and the release of nutrients from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are environmental issues linked to several impacts on ecosystems. Numerous technologies have been employed ...
