Application of eggplant peels powder for the removal of oil from produced water
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The removal efficiency of oil from simulated samples of produced water (SPW) was studied using a low-cost adsorbent eggplant peel powder (EPP). The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature on the ... -
Mixed Silver-Zinc Encapsulated Zeolite-Y Powders Toward the Photodegradation of Aqueous Fenoxycarb Solutions
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)Mixed silver–zinc doped in zeolite Y was prepared via cation exchange process. Two samples with various silver and zinc contents were prepared as well as two samples modified with microwave treatment before the calcination ... -
Novel method for water purification using activated adsorbents developed from sewage sludge
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Sewage sludge from Dubai was characterized using inductively coupled plasma and CHN elemental analysis. Selected sludge samples were washed with deionized water until constant conductivity was achieved. The sludge samples ... -
Palm tree leaves usage for biosorption and recovery of heavy metals from wastewater
(Desalination Publications, 2017-06)Biosorption can be a sustainable water treatment option. However, selection of biosorbent can be challenging and local availability plays an important role. This research investigates the effectiveness of palm tree leaves ... -
Phosphorus Recovery from the Wastewater Stream - Necessity and Possibilities
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The annual demand of phosphorus (P) for fertilizer use is more than 550,000 t in Germany. Several of the input streams like mineral fertilizer produced from phosphate rock or sewage sludge are problematic due to contamination ... -
Produced Water Treatment Using Naturally Abundant Pomegranate Peel
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Pomegranate peel powder (PPP) was employed as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of crude oil from simulated produced water (SPW). The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, as well as temperature on the efficiency ... -
Produced water treatment using olive leaves
(Desalination Publications, 2017-01)Olive leaves powder (OLP) was employed as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of hexane extractable crude oil from simulated produced water. The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, salinity as well as temperature ... -
Removal of benzo (a) anthracene from water using a novel UAE sludge-based activated adsorbent
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)A new adsorbent material from sewage sludge of relatively high surface area (2,230 m2/g) was prepared by carbonization and chemical activation using steam at controlled semi-static conditions. The pore size distributions ... -
Removal of lead ions from wastewater using multi walled carbon nanotubes modified with sodium lauryl sulfate
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) were synthe-sized, characterized and successfully used for the removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. Adsorp-tion results revealed that this ... -
Review and Assessment of the Newly Developed MD for Desalination
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09)Although reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane seperation process which leads to the desalination market for both seawater and brackish water desalination, other newly developed membranes processes are emerging to be well ... -
A theoretical analysis of an air stripper–biofilter system (ASBF) for industrial wastewater treatment
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)In this study, we focus on the industrial wastewater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (or VOC’s) which are carbon-containing compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, etc. VOC’s in general are toxic ...
