Online Fuzzy Logic Base Algorithm for Electricity Price Prediction
(Journal of Electronic Science and Technology, 2017)
This paper presents a web-based system to predict the electricity prices. The proposed system captures the geographical location, weather forecast, and oil price for one week ahead. The captured parameters are fed to a ...
A Smart Home Energy Management System Using IoT and Big Data Analytics Approach
(IEEE, 2017-11)
Increasing cost and demand of energy has led many organizations to find smart ways for monitoring, controlling and saving energy. A smart Energy Management System (EMS) can contribute towards cutting the costs while still ...
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 ...
Effective Approach for Increasing the Heteroatom Doping Levels of Porous Carbons for Superior CO2 Capture and Separation Performance
(ACS Publications, 2017-09-28)
Development of efficient sorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from flue gas or its removal from natural gas and landfill gas is very important for environmental protection. A new series of heteroatom-doped porous ...
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 ...
Approaches for integrated hydrogen production based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: Energy and exergy assessments of nuclear and solar energy sources in the United Arab Emirates
(Elsevier, 2017-01-26)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has for a long time been using oil and gas for its electricity production. However, with increasing demand in energy, rises in oil and gas prices and their future possible depletion, the UAE ...
Grass filter strip residence time- trap efficiency relationship
(Wiley, 2017-03-19)
This paper investigates the relationship between trap efficiency and residence time in vegetative filter strips under unsteady flow conditions. A mathematical model, based on a kinematic‐wave formulation of overland flow ...
Designing constructed wetlands for reclamation of pretreated wastewater and stormwater
(Springer, 2017-03)
Wastewater reclamation is getting greater attention as an alternative to conventional approaches to wastewater treatment and water supply due to increasing water stress coupled with more stringent water quality limitation ...
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 ...
Evaluation of sustainable concrete produced with desalinated reject brine
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
The worldwide demand for new concrete buildings is increasing at a rapid pace to keep up with urban development. Despite the need, concrete production and its use have a number of environmental consequences. The production ...
