Investigation of the effect of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite dispersions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The influence of surface charge type and density, and molecular weight of cationic, anionic and amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) on the electrokinetics, adsorption and flocculation behavior of highly stable bentonite ...
Carbon dioxide EGR and sequestration in mature and immature shale: Adsorption study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Recently, CO2 sequestration in different shale formations has become an attractive option owing to the abundance of shale basins. However, these formations have different maturity levels and contain a variety of minerals ...
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on calcite for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on calcite (104) has been studied by means of Density Functional Theory for molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) CO2 injection. Results show ...
Effect of surface morphology on methane interaction with calcite: a DFT study
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Natural gas, consisting primarily of methane, is found in carbonate reservoirs of which calcite is major component. However, the complexity and heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs remain a major challenge in estimating ...
Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ...
Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Oil contaminated water is one of the challenges in water resources management. It is crucial to remove the oil droplets from water in order to meet the discharge regulations set by the environmental authorities. Carbon ...
Enhanced Removal of Diesel Oil Using New Magnetic Bentonite-Based Adsorbents Combined with Different Carbon Sources
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
In this work, new magnetic bentonite-based adsorbents combined with different carbon sources, namely, reduced graphene oxide and multiwall carbon nanotubes, were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The synthesized ...
Date pits activated carbon as an effective adsorbent for water treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Book chapter)
Water pollution is becoming increasingly evident throughout the last few decades due to several anthropogenic reasons. Mitigating the pollution effects has become a priority to conserve the already limited water resources ...
Adsorption of organic pollutants by nanomaterial-based adsorbents: An overview
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Nanomaterial-based adsorbents have garnered increasing attention in water and wastewaters treatment applications due to their attractive properties and strong adsorption capabilities for various organic compounds. The ...
Comparative study between adsorption and membrane technologies for the removal of mercury
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Mercury is one of the most detrimental by-products of industrial activities, such as mining and fossil fuel combustion. What differentiates this contaminant from other pollutants is its bioaccumulation and rapid distribution ...
