Material flow analysis of plastic waste in the gulf co-operation countries (GCC) and the Arabian gulf: Focusing on Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Global plastic waste production has increased dramatically in recent years, both globally and regionally, having a multitude of adverse effects on the environment and human health. However, little attention has been directed ...
Investigating the simultaneous removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals by highly adapted Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The status, content and availability of heavy metals and hydrocarbons are highly affected by weathering processes – particularly – in areas characterized by harsh conditions. Their concomitant removal by highly adapted ...
Sustainable and long-term management of municipal solid waste: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigates landfill and incineration waste management strategies as potential and prevalent traditional methods of disposing of municipality-generated waste because of their cheapness and simplicity but requires ...
Development of a novel tailored ion-imprinted polymer for recovery of lithium and strontium from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study aims to prepare ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) with the benefit of a metal-based sorbent, which is fabricated to selectively adsorb lithium (Li+) from aqueous solutions, and in an attempt to remove strontium (Sr2+). ...
New material of polyacrylic acid-modified graphene oxide composite for phenol remediation from synthetic and real wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In this study, new material of polyacrylic acid-modified graphene oxide (GO-PAA) composite for phenol remediation from synthetic and real wastewater was investigated. The graphene oxide (GO) and GO-PAA were physically and ...
Proteomic analysis of T. qataranse exposed to lead (Pb) stress reveal new proteins with potential roles in Pb tolerance and detoxification mechanism
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article)
Soil lead (Pb) contamination is one of the environmental problems facing the modern world. Sources of Pb in soil include industrial activities such as mining and smelting processes, agricultural activities such as application ...
Insights into the degradation mechanism of PET and PP under marine conditions using FTIR
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ...
Total Hg levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, and protein and lipid contents: A multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the mercury (Hg) levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, protein, and lipid contents in Qatar. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed ...
Recent developments in ultrafiltration membrane technology for the removal of potentially toxic elements, and enhanced antifouling performance: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The presence of high concentrations of heavy metals (potentially toxic elements) in water bodies generates serious environmental issues and health problems that led to a dramatic increase in wastewater treatment costs. ...
Uptake of Reactive Black 5 by pumice and walnut activated carbon: Chemistry and adsorption mechanisms
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The potential of using pumice and walnut wood activated carbon as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm fit to the data ...
