A study comparing conventional heating and microwave assistance heating to recover metals from Municipal Solid Waste using microwave-assisted leaching technique
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)This study investigates and compares microwave heating radiation with conventional heating. Incinerated Municipal Solid Waste (IMSW) bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA) was utilized to to recover various metals including Co, ... -
Innovative Nanostructured Membranes for Reverse Osmosis Water Desalination
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Reverse osmosis(RO) is considered as the most widely utilized technique worldwide for water treatment. However, the commercial thin-film composite(TFC) membranes, which are normally made of polyamide (PA) through interfacial ... -
Catalytic decomposition of ethanol over bimetallic NiCo catalysts for carbon nanotube synthesis
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)In this work we investigate the use of NiCo bimetal/oxide as catalyst for hydrogen production from ethanol, with a focus on the deactivation pattern and the nature of the observed carbon deposition [1, 2]. It is well known ... -
Alginate-mediated synthesis of hetero-shaped silver nanoparticles and their hydrogen peroxide sensing ability
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Silver nanoparticles have been the focus of extensive research for many decades due to their unique physical, chemical and electrical properties. Introducing new environmentally benign methods for the synthesis of silver ... -
Assessment of Anti-proliferative and Anti-bacterial Activity of a Desert Microalgal Strain Desmodesmus sp.
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Microalgae are believed to be a promising sources of different high value products (HVP). HVP are metabolites which are produced during the growth of microalgae and their production is triggered by the physiochemical growth ... -
Novel approach to study the diversity of soil microbial communities in Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)A broad diversity of microorganisms can be found in soil, where they are essential for nutrient cycling and energy transfer. Recent high-throughput sequencing methods have greatly advanced our knowledge about how soil, ... -
Distribution and Diversity of Benthic Marine Macroalgae in Islands Around Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Extending into the Arabian Gulf, Qatar is surrounded by a number of islands mostly scattered by the eastern coastline. With the unique physical characteristics of the Gulf which is a highly saline sea with high seawater ... -
Characterization of the Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) of Virgibacillus strains capable of mediating the formation of high Mg-calcite and protodolomite
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)The origin of dolomite -a common carbonate mineral- is the subject of an ongoing debate. It has been proposed that extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) excreted by microbes contain specific organic molecules that ...
