Industrial sludge valorization and decontamination via lipid extraction and heavy metals removal using low-cost protic ionic liquid
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Sludge is a heterogenous organic-rich matter that comprise of highly valuable biopolymers along with various contaminants including heavy metals. Sludge valorization as a renewable resource and inexpensive feedstock is key ...
Examining engineering students' perceptions of learner agency enactment in problem- and project-based learning using Q methodology
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2022 , Article)
Background: Few studies have reported how students enact learner agency in a team setting or examined what elements of team settings students perceive as more supportive of their learning in problem- and project-based ...
Investigation of the effect of surfactant on the electrokinetic treatment of PFOA contaminated soil
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a persistent, nonbiodegradable environmental pollutant progressively becoming more problematic. Due to its ubiquitous use, PFOA is one of the PFAS chemicals frequently detected in the ...
LiDAR based hydro-conditioned hydrological modeling for enhancing precise conservation practice placement in agricultural watersheds
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
High resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-derived Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) improve hydrologic modeling and aid in identifying the targeted locations of best conservation practices (CPs) in agricultural ...
Bioinspired modeling and biogeography-based optimization of electrocoagulation parameters for enhanced heavy metal removal
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Electrocoagulation is an effective wastewater treatment process for the removal of heavy metals. This study focuses on deriving optimal conditions for removing heavy metals, viz. Lead (Pb), Cobalt (Co), and Manganese (Mn) ...
Fines effect on gas flow in sandy sediments using μCT and pore networks
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Gas production from hydrate-bearing sediments requires methane dissociation, which induces two-phase gas flow, mobilizing fine clay particles from within saturated pores. Fines migration within sandy sediments results in ...

(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
Ocean energy is one potential renewable energy alternative to fossil fuels that has a more significant power generation due to its better predictability and availability. In order to harness this source, wave energy ...
Pore-scale simulation of fine particles migration in porous media using coupled CFD-DEM
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Transport of fine particles in porous media has attracted a considerable interest over the past several decades given its importance to many industrial and natural processes. In order to control fine particles transport ...
Urban resilience and livability performance of European smart cities: A novel machine learning approach
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Smart cities are centres of economic opulence and hope for standardized living. Understanding the shades of urban resilience and livability in smart city models is of paramount importance. This study presents a novel ...
