Bio-Based Self-Healing Concrete for Sustainable and Durable Concrete Infrastructure
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
In this study, bio-self-healing concrete was manufactured using a natural phenomenon called microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). The bacillus cereus bacteria isolated from Qatari soil was used for this ...
Advanced Polymeric Materials with Exceptional Carbon Dioxide Capture Capacities
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from combustion of fossil based fuels increasing the atmospheric CO2 concentration (currently at 393 ppm) is indubitably an alarming environmental issue such as an irreversible ...
Reactive Absorption of CO2 Using Ethylaminoethanol Promoted Aqueous Potassium Carbonate Solvent
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Atmospheric concentration of CO2, which is considered as one of the major greenhouse gases (GHGs), has increased up to 398 ppmv as of 2015. CO2 concentration in atmosphere was 280 ppmv in pre-industrial era, and due to the ...
Microbial Desalination Cell: A Sustainable Approach For Brackish Water Desalination And Wastewater Treatment With Bioelectricity Generation
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The shortage of the fresh water has become a more and more serious issue because of the rapid increase in human population and resource consumption. Although water is an abundant natural resource available in the earth, ...
Nanoporous Polymeric Materials For Co2 Capture And Separation
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Control of carbon dioxide emissions without significant penalties requires effective CO2 scrubbing from point sources, such as fossil fuel burning power plants, cement factories and steel making. Capturing process is the ...
Performance of Mild Steel and Corrosion-Resistant Steel Rebars in Chloride-Contaminated Concrete
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in Arabian Peninsula is subjected to harsh climatic conditions of high temperatures, humidity, and airborne chlorides and there is a high concentration of salts in seawater and soils. ...
Exceptionally High CO2 Capturing Capacity of Porous Organic Polymers
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Pre-combustion flue gas capture has been emerged as an efficient alternative to circumvent the costly procedures of materials regeneration utilized by the energy industry for CO2 capture and separation. Stability of the ...
Synthesis Of Transition Metal Nanoparticles Using Combustion Based Techniques
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Solution combustion synthesis (SCS) is a widely used technique for synthesizing variety of high purity oxide nanoparticles. Two basic modes for combustion synthesis are the self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) ...
Evolution of Seawater Desalination and Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Treatment in a Microbial Desalination Cell
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Petroleum refining, not only consumes large quantities of water but also generates large quantities of wastewater. Large quantities of petroleum refinery wastewater are generated worldwide, approximately 3.5-5 m3 of ...
Thermochemical copper Oxide - Copper sulfate water splitting cycle for solar hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the solar thermochemical copper oxide - copper sulfate (CO-CS) water splitting cycle is thermodynamically investigated. CO-CS cycle consists of two steps: first step - exothermic oxidation of CuO via water ...
