Recent developments in forward osmosis membranes using carbon-based nanomaterials
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article Review)
Contamination and industrial development are among the reasons for water quality deterioration beyond treatability by conventional processes. Unfortunately, conventional water and wastewater treatment technologies are not ...
Organic fouling in forward osmosis: A comprehensive review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Organic fouling in the forward osmosis process is complex and influenced by different parameters in the forward osmosis such as type of feed and draw solution, operating conditions, and type of membrane. In this article, ...
A novel electrocoagulation electrode configuration for the removal of total organic carbon from primary treated municipal wastewater
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from a primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induces a ...
3D synchrotron computed tomography study on the influence of fines on gas driven fractures in Sandy Sediments
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Production of methane from hydrate-bearing sediments requires hydrate dissociation for releasing
mobile methane gas in sediments prior to gas production operations. Fines may migrate through or
clog the pore space of ...
Discrepancy in the Critical State Void Ratio of Poorly Graded Sand due to Shear Strain Localization
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2020 , Article)
The critical state (CS) concept is a theoretical framework that models the constitutive behavior of soils, including sand and other granular materials. It supports the notion of a unique postfailure state, where the soil ...
Dynamic 3D imaging of gas hydrate kinetics using synchrotron computed tomography
(
EDP Sciences
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
The availability of natural gas hydrates and the continuing increase in energy demand, motivated researchers to consider gas hydrates as a future source of energy. Fundamental understanding of hydrate dissociation kinetics ...
Enhancement of Naphthalene Degradation by a Sequential Sulfate Injection Scenario in a (Semi)-Arid Coastal Soil: a Flow-Through Reactor Experiment
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Engineered sulfate injection has been introduced as an effective technology to enhance the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons. While some studies indicate that sulfate injection is ...
Effects of dissolved organic phase composition and salinity on the engineered sulfate application in a flow-through system
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Engineered sulfate application has been proposed as an effective remedy to enhance the rate-limited biodegradation of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated subsurface environments, but the effects of dissolved organic phase ...
3D measurements of hydrate surface area during hydrate dissociation in porous media using dynamic 3D imaging
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
A better understanding of the kinetics of hydrate dissociation is essential to reliably predict gas production potential from natural hydrate reservoirs. Most hydrate dissociation models assume hydrates to be a constant ...
Three-Dimensional Evaluation of Sand Particle Fracture Using Discrete-Element Method and Synchrotron Microcomputed Tomography Images
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2020 , Article)
Recent research showed that fracture of sand particles plays a significant role in determining the plastic bulk volumetric changes of granular materials under different loading conditions. One of the major tools used to ...
