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 ...
Optimization of Support Structures for Offshore Wind Turbines using Genetic Algorithm with Domain-Trimming (GADT)
(Hindawi, 2017-08-08)
The powerful genetic algorithm optimization technique is augmented with an innovative “domain-trimming” modification. The resulting adaptive, high-performance technique is called Genetic Algorithm with Domain-Trimming ...
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 ...
Urban Resilience and Planning Support Systems: The Need for Sentience
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-03)
Developing resilience in built human environments is a complex undertaking. It requires decision support tools that can convey complexities in meaningful and understandable ways. Building smart cities and generating big ...
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 ...
