A pinch analysis approach to environmental risk management in industrial solvent selection
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)Abstract: The problem of solvent selection in an industrial process has been examined in a number of different approaches, often including single- and multi-criteria optimization techniques. Traditionally, it has been ... -
A quantum chemistry study of natural gas hydrates
( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Article)The structure and properties of natural gas hydrates containing hydrocarbons, CO2, and N2 molecules were studied by using computational quantum chemistry methods via the density functional theory approach. All host cages ... -
A study on stability of active layer of polymer solar cells: effect of UV–visible light with different conditions
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)The objective of this study is to investigate the stability of the active layer of polymer solar cells from the effect of UV–visible light irradiation using different conditions with respect to time. The active layers were ... -
Designing ionic liquid solvents for carbon capture using property-based visual approach
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been introduced as potential carbon dioxide (CO2)-capturing solvents, as a substitute to conventional amine-based solvents. Conventional amine-based solvents that are used for CO2 capture ... -
Insights from quantum chemistry into piperazine-based ionic liquids and their behavior with regard to CO2
( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Article)The short-range properties of alkylpiperazine ionic liquids paired with propionate and lactate anions were analyzed and their affinity for CO 2 molecules studied using density functional theory. Anion-cation interactions ... -
Ionic liquid design for enhanced carbon dioxide capture by computer-aided molecular design approach
( Springer Verlag , 2015 , Article)Carbon capture and storage is an emerging technology to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources such as power plants. Post-combustion capture based on aqueous amine scrubbing is one of the most ... -
Life cycle assessment of osmotic microbial fuel cells for simultaneous wastewater treatment and resource recovery
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)Purpose An osmotic microbial fuel cell (OsMFC) is derived from the integration of a forward osmosis (FO) membrane into a conventional microbial fuel cell (MFC), with enhanced performance in bioelectricity generation from ... -
Managing abnormal operation through process integration and cogeneration systems
( Springer Verlag , 2015 , Article)Flaring is a common industrial practice that leads to substantial greenhouse gas emissions, health problems, and economic losses. When the causes, magnitudes, and frequency of flaring are properly understood and incorporated ... -
Nanofibers of resorcinol–formaldehyde for effective adsorption of As (III) ions from mimicked effluents
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)In the present study, the core–shell structured RF/PVA nanofibers have been developed and used for the adsorption of As3+ ions from the mimicked liquid effluents. Efficient-facile fabrication of the structured nanofibers ... -
Production of sensitive gas sensors using CuO/SnO2 nanoparticles
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)Metal oxide nanoparticles, such as CuO and SnO2, are outstanding systems for H2S gas sensing in air. In this work, those nanoparticles were deposited with different mixing percentages on substrates to form percolating ... -
Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been studied for contaminant removal from wastewater and salinity reduction in saline water. However, in an MDC wastewater treatment and desalination occurs in different streams, ...
