State of the Art in Separation Processes for Alternative Working Fluids in Clean and Efficient Power Generation
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
Gas turbines must now comply with much stricter emission control regulations. In fact, to combat the greenhouse effect, regulatory authorities have drastically reduced allowable emission levels. For example, in less than ...
A process for CO2 capture and brine salinity reduction through reaction with potassium hydroxide: A multi-stage evaluation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Solvay and modified Solvay processes are facing a major challenge in reducing brine salinity to a level suitable for agriculture and industry. This challenge arises as a result of competing reactions and mixing limits ...
Magnesium recovery from desalination reject brine as pretreatment for membraneless electrolysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Alkali-earth metals pose a significant challenge to water treatment technologies and electrochemical processes due to their propensity to precipitate as metal hydroxides, which can deposit on membranes and/or electrodes ...
Enhanced Removal of Diesel Oil Using New Magnetic Bentonite-Based Adsorbents Combined with Different Carbon Sources
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
In this work, new magnetic bentonite-based adsorbents combined with different carbon sources, namely, reduced graphene oxide and multiwall carbon nanotubes, were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The synthesized ...
Evaluation of parameters controlling calcium recovery and CO2 uptake from desalination reject brine: An optimization approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
A multistage process scheme for extracting valuable minerals from desalination reject brine while simultaneously sequestering CO2 has been proposed. As a part of the proposed scheme, simultaneous removal of calcium ions ...
Mapping the desalination journal: A systematic bibliometric study over 54 years
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article Review)
Desalination is one of the most important techniques that can provide potable water to meet the ever-growing demand for fresh water in many regions. Over the years, desalination techniques have been significantly improved ...
Adsorption of organic water pollutants by clays and clay minerals composites: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
Clays and clay minerals are inexpensive, non-toxic, and naturally occurring minerals that have been utilized in water remediation as adsorbents. However, clays and clay minerals and those modified with heat, surfactants, ...
Adsorption of 4-Nitrophenol onto Iron Oxide Bentonite Nanocomposite: Process Optimization, Kinetics, Isotherms and Mechanism
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
Despite its importance in chemical industry, 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) is a persistent organic pollutant that has serious effects on the ecosystem. In the present study, Box–Behnken design in response surface methodology was ...
