(
Elsevier Editora Ltda
, 2020 , Article)
In seawater reverse osmosis, membrane scaling is one of the major issues affecting its widespread application in the desalination industry. In this paper, the effect of concentration of calcium and sulfate ions from 20 to ...
Effective removal of phenol from wastewater using a hybrid process of graphene oxide adsorption and UV-irradiation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
The focus of this work is the removal of phenol from water by graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles, prepared by two different methods, through a hybrid adsorption?UV-irradiation process. The GO1 and GO2 were prepared using ...
Investigating the effect of temperature on calcium sulfate scaling of reverse osmosis membranes using FTIR, SEM-EDX and multivariate analysis

Bacteria play a variety of roles in the environment. They maintain the balance in the ecosystem and provide different ecosystem services such as in biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, biodegradation of toxic pollutants, ...
Insight into the extraction and characterization of cellulose nanocrystals from date pits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
This study aims to extract and characterize cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from date pits (DP), an agricultural solid waste. Two methods were used and optimized for the cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extraction, namely the ...
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals as a novel adsorption material for removal of boron from water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This study aims to prepare a novel adsorbent containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) isolated from date pits (DP) and ionic liquid (IL). The prepared composite of CNC and IL was then loaded onto the DP to prepare IL-CNC@DP ...
