Bio-sorption of toxic metals from industrial wastewater by algae strains Spirulina platensis and Chlorella vulgaris: Application of isotherm, kinetic models and process optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The present study evaluates the effect of an acidic treatment on the improvement of the percentage removal of toxic metal (%TMrem) from wastewater by algae strains (Spirulina platensis (SP) and Chlorella vulgar (CV)) under ...
Algal cells harvesting using cost-effective magnetic nano-particles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Innovative iron-based nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and tested for the first time for harvesting single and mixed algal culture from real wastewater. The tailor-made magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs; Fe-MNP-I ...
Innovative bppo anion exchange membranes formulation using diffusion dialysis-enhanced acid regeneration system
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Recycling of acid from aqueous waste streams is crucial not only from the environmental point of view but also for maturing the feasible method (diffusion dialysis). Anion exchange membrane (AEM)–based diffusion dialysis ...
Effect of membrane fouling on fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis desalination performance
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) has garnered immense attention for its application in the agricultural field and its potential to reuse wastewater sustainably. Membrane fouling, however, remains to be a challenge ...
Kinetic modeling of microalgae growth and CO2 bio-fixation using central composite design statistical approach
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The optimum growth (μ), CO2 bio-fixation (RCO2) rates and the energy ratio (ER) of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris (C.v) were identified using central composite design statistical approach (CCD-SA). μ and RCO2 parameters ...
Utilizing environmentally friendly hyperbranched polyglycerol polymers to separate gasoline from deionized water
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Hyperbranched polyglycerol polymers (HPG) were synthesized, characterized, and used to separate gasoline from deionized water. The study indicates HPG as potentially effective materials for the recovery of oil from oil/water ...
Optimizing nutrient removal of moving bed biofilm reactor process using response surface methodology
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The potential of 3-stages process (anaerobic, anoxic and moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)) for organic matter and nutrient removals from secondary WWTP effluents at various hydraulic retention time (HRT) and nitrate recycle ...
Doping amino acids with classical gas hydrate inhibitors to facilitate the hydrate inhibition effect at low dosages
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The formation of gas hydrates in offshore subsea lines is a major flow assurance concern for the oil and gas industry. In this work, the thermodynamic hydrate inhibition (THI) effect of doping amino acids (AA) such as ...
