Application of MALDI-TOF MS for identification of environmental bacteria: A review
(
Academic Press
, 2022 , Article)
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, ...
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 ...
Thermodynamics, isotherms, and mechanisms studies of lithium recovery from seawater desalination reverse osmosis brine using roasted and ferrocyanide modified date pits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
In this study, the adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic studies of lithium ions from seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination brine were investigated. Three adsorbents were utilized namely, roasted date pits (RDP), ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Insights into the removal of lithium and molybdenum from groundwater by adsorption onto activated carbon, bentonite, roasted date pits, and modified-roasted date pits
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigated the removal of lithium (Li) and molybdenum (Mo) from groundwater using activated carbon, bentonite, roasted date pits, and modified-roasted date pits as adsorbents under different experimental ...
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 ...
