Electrospun Polysulfone Hybrid Nanocomposite Fibers as Membrane for Separating Oil/Water Emulsion
Ponnamma, Deepalekshmi; Elgawady, Yara; Hassan, Mohamed K.; Adham, Samer; Al-Maas, Mashael; Alamgir, Karim; Al-Maadeed, Mariam Al Ali... more authors ... less authors ( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)Commercial polymer membranes are largely utilized to separate oil/water mixtures; however, membrane fouling, flux decline, and short lifetime often inhibit their high performance. In order to resolve these drawbacks of the ... -
Evaluation of cellulose triacetate hollow fiber membrane for volume reduction of real industrial effluents through an osmotic concentration process: A pilot-scale study
M. Awad, Abdelrahman; Jalab, Rem; S. Nasser, Mustafa; El-Naas, Muftah; A. Hussein, Ibnelwaleed; Minier-Matar, Joel; Adham, Samer... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The current article tackles the challenge of reducing wastewater volumes generated from the gas industry. A forward osmosis (FO) pilot unit, deployed as osmotic concentration (OC) process without the draw solution (DS) ... -
Evaluation of polymeric adsorbents via fixed-bed columns for emulsified oil removal from industrial wastewater
Mashael, Al-Maas; Minier-Matar, Joel; Krupa, Igor; Al-Maadeed, Mariam Al Ali; Adham, Samer ( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Polymeric adsorbents (PAs) have been gaining increased attention for application in industrial wastewater (WW) treatment. However, most studies on evaluating PAs specifically for emulsified oil removal are currently limited ... -
Industrial wastewater volume reduction through osmotic concentration: Membrane module selection and process modeling
Joel, Minier-Matar; Al-Maas, Mashael; Dardor, Dareen; Janson, Arnold; Nasser, Mustafa S.; Adham, Samer... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Osmotic concentration (OC), a form of forward osmosis (FO) but without draw solution recovery, can be applied for reducing wastewater disposal volumes in the oil & gas industry. Within this industry, wastewater is often ... -
Membrane distillation: recent technological developments and advancements in membrane materials
Hussain, A.; Hussain, Altaf; Janson, Arnie; Matar, Joel Minier; Adham, Samer ( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article Review)Membrane distillation (MD) is a novel desalination technology that has potential to produce distilled quality water from high salinity brine streams. The driving force for MD is the vapor pressure difference across a ... -
