The recovery of strontium ions from seawater reverse osmosis brine using novel composite materials of ferrocyanides modified roasted date pits
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, three types of adsorbents were used to remove and recover strontium ions (Sr2+) from aqueous and brine solution of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), namely roasted date pits (RDP) and RDP modified using copper ...
Effect of polymaleic acid and microwave radiations on reverse osmosis membrane's performance and properties: A response surface methodology approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Polymaleic acid was tested for its ability to control inorganic fouling in reverse osmosis (RO) system for the first time as a membrane surface modifier. Using the design of experiments (DoE) based on the response surface ...
The Causes and Effects of Mercury and Methylmercury Contamination in the Marine Environment: A Review
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article Review)
Purpose of Review: The concern of mercury pollution and the impact that it poses on the marine environment were studied heavily since the case of the poison from Minamata bay in the 1960s. The present study provides an ...
Electronic waste considerations in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment or e-waste is a waste stream that has multiplied profoundly in recent years. Currently, many researchers focused on the study of e-waste. The Middle East & North Africa (MENA) is ...

(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. Is highly recognized for its invasive character and its detrimental effects on different plant species across the world. In this study, a field survey was performed to assess the impact of P. ...
Health risk assessment of methyl mercury from fish consumption in a sample of adult Qatari residents
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
Fish constitutes an essential source of high-quality protein and is, at the same time, the source of exposure to many hazardous contaminants, namely mercury and methyl mercury (MeHg). This study aims at assessing the risk ...
Optimization of Polyacrylic Acid Coating on Graphene Oxide-Functionalized Reverse-Osmosis Membrane Using UV Radiation through Response Surface Methodology
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is affected by multiple types of fouling such as biofouling, scaling, and organic fouling. Therefore, a multi-functional membrane capable of reducing more than one type of fouling is a need of the hour. ...
Effect of temperature and sunlight on the leachability potential of BPA and phthalates from plastic litter under marine conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the leaching potential of several additives embedded in six different plastic types when exposed to extreme simulated marine conditions for 140 days. The findings achieved herein contribute to a ...
Investigation on the effect of several parameters involved in the biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) under various seawater environments
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
This work investigates the biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and the leaching of their harmful additives. Micro/macro-plastics of both types were subjected to different laboratory-controlled ...
Insights into the interaction between mineral formation and heavy metals immobilization, mediated by Virgibacillus exopolymeric substances
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Heavy metal pollution poses significant risks to both the environment and human health due to their toxicity, long residence times, and their ability to bioaccumulate and bio magnify across the food chain. To address this ...
