Acrylonitrile process enhancement through waste minimization: Effect of reaction conditions and degree of backmixing
Abu Reesh, Ibrahim M. ( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)Waste minimization in reactor design is an effective approach for pollution control, when compared to the traditional practice of the end-of-pipe treatment. Reactor degree of backmixing and operating conditions are important ... -
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
Sevda, Surajbhan; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; Yuan, Heyang; He, Zhen ( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ... -
Enhanced bioelectrochemical treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with Labaneh whey as co-substrate
Mohanakrishna, Gunda; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; Pant, Deepak ( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) that contains recalcitrant components as the major portion of constituents is difficult to treat by conventional biological processes. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) which also produce ... -
Enhancing desalination and wastewater treatment by coupling microbial desalination cells with forward osmosis
Yuan, Heyang; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; He, Zhen ( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ... -
