Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals extracted from date pits as agricultural waste for the efficient remediation of molybdenum from groundwater: Performance and mechanistic studies
Hadeel A., Al-Karablieh; Zouari, Nabil; Shomar, Basem; Al- Ghouti, Mohammad A.; Shomar, Basem ( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The adsorption technique has proven to be an excellent option for treating contaminated water. This work was designed to investigate the efficient remediation of molybdenum (Mo(VI)) from groundwater by using a novel adsorbent ... -
Genomic Characterization and Annotation of Two Novel Bacteriophages Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Qatar
Ramadoss, Ramya; Al-Marzooqi, Fajer; Shomar, Basem; Ilyin, Valentin Alekseevich; Vincent, Annette Shoba ( American Society for Microbiology , 2022 , Article)We report the genome sequences of Escherichia phage C600M2 (length, 88,162 bp; G1C content, 38.98%) and Escherichia phage CL1 (length, 87,820 bp; G1C content, 41.32%), which were isolated from a wastewater treatment plant ... -
Groundwater Contamination in Arid Coastal Areas: Qatar as a Case Study.
Shomar, Basem; Sankaran, Rajendran ( Wiley , 2024 , Article)The Arab region is located in an arid environment and suffers from water scarcity and poor water quality which are expected to become more severe in coming years due to global warming. In this study, the groundwater quality ... -
Preparation and properties of novel activated carbon doped with aluminum oxide and silver for water treatment
Rashad, Al-Gaashani; Almasri, Dema; Shomar, Basem; Kochkodan, Viktor ( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Novel activated carbon (AC) composite materials, namely AC doped with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and AC doped with Al2O3 and silver (Ag) nanoparticles, have been prepared via a one-step thermal decomposition method. The developed ... -
Removal of heavy metals from wastewater by aerogel derived from date palm waste
Soumya, Gupta; Saud, Asif; Munira, Nazmin; Allal, Ahmed; Preud'homme, Hugues; Shomar, Basem; Zaidi, Syed Javaid; Shomar, Basem... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Cellulose that has been sourced from date palm leaves as a primary component was utilised. This cellulose served as the foundational material for the development of an aerogel composite. During this process, MXene (Ti3C2Tx) ... -
Substantiation of propitious “Enzybiotic” from two novel bacteriophages isolated from a wastewater treatment plant in Qatar
Ramadoss, Ramya; Al-Shukri, Moza; Shomar, Basem; Ilyin, Valentin Alekseevich; Vincent, Annette Shoba ( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)Lysin of bacteriophages isolated from a particular ecosystem could be inducted as a bio-controlling tool against the inhabiting pathogenic bacterial strains. Our study aims at both experimental and computational characterization ... -
