Influence of Surfactant Structure on the Stability of Water-in-Oil Emulsions under High-Temperature High-Salinity Conditions
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2017 , Article)
Emulsified water-in-oil (W/O) systems are extensively used in the oil industry for water control and acid stimulation. Emulsifiers are commonly utilized to emulsify a water-soluble material to form W/O emulsion. The selection ...
Aqueous dispersions of carbon black and its hybrid with carbon nanofibers
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
The aqueous dispersions of a special type of carbon black (CB) in 1 M lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) electrolyte is mainly controlled by the affinity of the aqueous electrolyte towards the CB particles rather ...
Constructing water-resistant CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films: Via coordination interaction
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Organic-inorganic halide CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted intensive attention due to their high power conversion efficiency and low fabrication cost. However, MAPbI3 is known to be very ...
Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide in aqueous blends of N-methyldiethanolamine and L-arginine using the stopped-flow technique
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Reduction of carbon dioxide emission from natural and industrial flue gases is paramount to help mitigate its effect on global warming. Efforts are continuously deployed worldwide to develop efficient technologies for CO ...
Organically modified nanoclay filled thin-film nanocomposite membranes for reverse osmosis application
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study validates, for the first time, the effectiveness of two nanoclays, that is, cloisite (CS)-15A and montmorillonite (MNT) at the polyamide (PA) active layer in the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Cloisite-15A is ...
Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy reveals the influence of charged sensitizing quantum dots on the electron dynamics in ZnO
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Photoinitiated charge carrier dynamics in ZnO nanoparticles sensitized by CdSe quantum dots is studied using transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. The evolution of the transient spectra ...
Enhanced Adsorption of Selenium Ions from Aqueous Solution Using Iron Oxide Impregnated Carbon Nanotubes
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this research was to investigate the potential of raw and iron oxide impregnated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as adsorbents for the removal of selenium (Se) ions from wastewater. The original and modified CNTs with ...
CO2 Reduction to Renewable Hydrocarbon Fuel - Mimicking Natural Photosynthesis
(
Springer Nature
, 2017 , Article)
We report on a wide-range Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigation of the g-C3N4 photocatalysis systems combined with metals/nonmetals, especially those available in plants and involved in the natural photosynthesis ...
A hybrid electro-coagulation/forward osmosis system for treatment of produced water
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Oil and gas exploration produce large volumes highly contaminated produced water (PW) which exhibits a major environmental challenge. This work investigates the application of a novel hybrid system by combining electro-coagulation ...
Evaluation of the current state and perspective of wastewater treatment and reuse in Qatar
(
Desalination Publications
, 2017 , Article)
In Qatar, many freshwater resources have already been depleted due to the overconsumption as a result of the population and economic growth. Moreover, due to the lack of sufficient sewage treatment infrastructure, Qatar ...
