A study on stability of active layer of polymer solar cells: effect of UV–visible light with different conditions
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)The objective of this study is to investigate the stability of the active layer of polymer solar cells from the effect of UV–visible light irradiation using different conditions with respect to time. The active layers were ... -
Adsorption of an anionic surfactant at air-liquid and different solid-liquid interfaces from solutions containing high counter-ion concentration
( Springer Verlag , 2015 , Article)The self-assembly (adsorption) of the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS), at air-liquid and different (octadecanethiol, β-mercaptoethanol, α-lipoic acid) solid-liquid interfaces from aqueous solutions ... -
Clay minerals damage quantification in sandstone rocks using core flooding and NMR
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)Sandstone oil reservoirs consist of different clay minerals such as kaolinite, illite, and chlorite. These clay minerals highly affect the formation damage during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and well stimulation operations ... -
Effect of the degree of template removal from mesoporous silicate materials on their adsorption of heavy oil from aqueous solution
( Springer VerlagHigher Education Press , 2014 , Article)The key aim of this study is to evaluate the adsorption of heavy oil from aqueous solutions with different oil contents over mesoporous silicate materials having different surfactant template contents. The mesoporous ... -
Evaluation of an activated carbon packed bed for the adsorption of phenols from petroleum refinery wastewater
( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)The performance of an adsorption column packed with granular activated carbon was evaluated for the removal of phenols from refinery wastewater. The effects of phenol feed concentration (80–182 mg/l), feed flow rate (5–20 ... -
Hydrogen bond coupling in sodium dihydrogen triacetate
( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Article)The coupling of hydrogen bonds is central to structures and functions of biological systems. Hydrogen bond coupling in sodium dihydrogen triacetate (SDHTA) is investigated as a model for the hydrogen bonded systems of the ... -
Immobilization of microbial cells for the biotreatment of wastewater: A review
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article Review)Industrial wastewater often contains different complex impurities that are hazardous to the environment and human health, making wastewater treatment a necessity prior to its disposal. This review focuses on cell immobilization ... -
Optimization of selection of chain amine scrubbers for CO2 capture
( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Article)In order to optimize the selection of a suitable amine molecule for CO2 scrubbers, a series of ab initio calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. Diethylenetriamine was used as a simple chain ... -
Outlook and challenges for hydrogen storage in nanoporous materials
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)Considerable progress has been made recently in the use of nanoporous materials for hydrogen storage. In this article, the current status of the field and future challenges are discussed, ranging from important open ... -
Self-assembly of a surfactin nanolayer at solid-liquid and air-liquid interfaces
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)Surfactin, a sustainable and environmentally friendly surface active agent, is used as a model to study the adsorption of biosurfactants at hydrophobic and hydrophilic solid–liquid interfaces as well as the air–liquid ... -
Solar photocatalytic degradation of 2-chlorophenol with ZnO nanoparticles: optimisation with D-optimal design and study of intermediate mechanisms
( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of toxic pollutant (2-chlorophenol) in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was investigated under solar radiation. The three main factors, namely pH of solution, solar ... -
Synthesis, Characterization and Surface Properties of Amidosulfobetaine Surfactants Bearing Odd-Number Hydrophobic Tail
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)Three amidosulfobetaine surfactants were synthesized namely: 3‐(N‐pentadecanamidopropyl‐N,N‐dimethyl ammonium) propanesulfonate (2a); 3‐(N‐heptadecanamidopropyl‐N,N‐dimethyl ammonium) propanesulfonate (2b), and ...
