A review of recent advances in water-gas shift catalysis for hydrogen production
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)The water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) is an intermediate reaction in hydrocarbon reforming processes, considered one of the most important reactions for hydrogen production. Here, water and carbon monoxide molecules react ... -
Activated carbon-doped polystyrene fibers for direct contact membrane desalination
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)Membranes for direct contact membrane distillation were produced from electrospun polystyrene microfibers doped with activated carbon. The addition of activated carbon reduced the hydrophobicity of the fibers. Therefore, ... -

( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)This research paper aims at providing a comprehensive analysis of the effect of the addition of waste tire rubber to asphalt mix and its properties. Having reviewed several published research papers, it is concluded that ... -
Nanotechnology for Defence Applications
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Book chapter)Currently, most militaries of the advanced countries are utilizing nanotechnology in researches, projects, and applications. Nanotechnology can provide the army with stronger and lighter ware, supports nanomedicines and ... -
Physicochemical, structural and combustion analyses to estimate the solid fuel efficacy of hydrochar developed by co-hydrothermal carbonization of food and municipal wastes
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)The application of a char derived from fruit peel waste and other municipal wastes as solid fuel depends on its physico-chemical properties. In this work, fruit peel waste (FW) along their mixture with facial tissue waste ... -
Recycling of construction and demolition waste and its impact on climate change and sustainable development
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)The huge generated amounts of construction and demolition (C&D) waste around the world, which amounts up to more than 25% of the total generated waste, has become a serious environmental challenge that needs to be addressed. ... -
Removal of copper ions from aqueous solution using NaOH-treated rice husk
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)The present study investigates the removal of copper ions (Cu (II)) from aqueous solution using chemically treated rice husk (TRH). The chemical treatment was carried out using NaOH solution and the effect of contact time ... -
Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of Cr-doped lithium-rich Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08-xCrxO2 cathodes
( Springer Nature , 2018 , Article)Lithium-rich layer oxide, Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08O2 (NMC), is a potential cathode candidate for high-energy density batteries. Issues such as cycling stability, rate performance, and cost are yet to be overcome before ... -
Synthesis of biohybrid magnetic chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol/MgO nanocomposite blend for remazol brilliant blue R dye adsorption: solo and collective parametric optimization
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)In this work, a new quadruple nanocomposite of chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/magnesium oxide/Fe3O4 (Chit-PVA/MgO/Fe3O4) was prepared for the adsorption of remazol brilliant blue R (RBBR) dye in batch process. Several advanced ... -
Use of laser-induced break spectroscopy for the determination of major and trace elements in Zanthoxylum armatum
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)Zanthoxylum armatum (ZA) is a medicinal plant (MP) that is widely distributed in hilly and moist areas and has a different medical effect on human curative functions. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was employed ... -
Use of nanoadvanced activated carbon, alumina and ferric adsorbents for humics removal from water: isotherm study
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)The adsorption of humic substances on three different adsorbents was investigated and adsorption isotherms were applied in this research. The three adsorbents studied include granular activated carbon (GAC), ferric ...
