Brine management strategies, technologies, and recovery using adsorption processes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The world is experiencing serious shortages, unequal distributions, and contamination of the available freshwater resources. Many factors like geography, climate change, increasing populations, economic and technological ...
The integrated/hybrid membrane systems for membrane desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Book chapter)
Freshwater scarcity is a global issue that is further exacerbated by both economic and population growth. Membrane desalination possesses the potential to address water stress issues, but membrane fouling has affected its ...
Improving properties of thin film nanocomposite membrane through polyethyleneimine intermediate layer: A parametric study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-interlayered thin film nanocomposite (iTFN) membranes were developed by establishing graphene oxide (GO)-incorporated polyamide (PA) layer atop PEI-coated polysulfone (PSf) substrate ...
Adsorptive batch and biological treatments of produced water: Recent progresses, challenges, and potentials
(
Academic Press
, 2021 , Article)
Produced water is responsible for the largest contribution in terms of waste stream volume associated with the production of oil and gas. Characterization of produced water is very crucial for the determination of its main ...
Occurrence and removal characteristics of phthalate esters from bottled drinking water using silver modified roasted date pits
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article)
Background: This paper aims to investigate the occurrence and removal characteristics of phthalate esters from bottled drinking water using silver modified roasted date pits. Three adsorbents, namely roasted date pits ...
Copolyamide-clay nanotube polymer composite nanofiber membranes: Preparation, characterization and its asymmetric wettability driven oil/water emulsion separation towards sewage remediation
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
To address the problem of ever-increasing oily wastewater management, due to its directional liquid transport property, membranes with asymmetric wettability can be effectively used for emulsion separation. This study ...
Evaluation by MALDI-TOF MS and PCA of the diversity of biosurfactants and their producing bacteria, as adaption to weathered oil components
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Indigenous Qatari bacterial strains were isolated from highly weathered oil-contaminated sites, identified, and differentiated based on their protein profiles using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight ...
Study of bacterial interactions in reconstituted hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial consortia from a local collection, for the bioremediation of weathered oily-soils
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
To enhance the process of bacterial remediation of weathered hydrocarbons, the area of Dukhan, Qatar, was considered as a model for weathering processes. Self-purification by indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria showed ...
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 ...
