Development of Polymer Modified Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite Membranes to Reduce both Scaling and Biofouling
Ashfaq, Mohammad Yousaf; Al-Ghouti, Mohammad; Zouari, Nabil; Qiblawey, Hazim ( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)In seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), membrane scaling is one of the major issues affecting its widespread application in the desalination industry. In this research, the effect of concentration of calcium and sulfate ions ... -
The use of Principle Component Analysis and MALDI-TOF MS for the differentiation of mineral forming Virgibacillus and Bacillus species isolated from Sabkhas.
Abdel Samad, Rim; Al Disi, Zulfa; Ashfaq, Mohammad; Zouari, Nabil ( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Occurrence of mineral forming and other bacteria in mats is well demonstrated. However, their high diversity shown by ribotyping was not explained, although could explain the diversity of formed minerals. Common biomarkers ...
