Recent Advances in Femtosecond Laser-Induced Surface Structuring for Oil–Water Separation
(MDPI, 2019)Femtosecond (FS) laser-induced surface structuring is a robust, maskless, non-contact, and single-step process for producing micro- and nanoscale structures on a material’s surface, which remarkably alters the optical, ... -
Reduction of Leachability of Sewage Sludge by Alum Treatment
(ICE Virtual Library, 2014-04)The sustainable disposal practices of waste materials have drawn much attention in the last two decades. One of the growing disposal practices is the use of land-based application (e.g. fertiliser). However, the application ... -
Remediation of water from crude oil spill using a fibrous sorbent
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Remediation of oil-polluted water was studied using waste tire cord fiber WTCF as a waste fibrous sorbent. The rate of sorption, sorption capacity, oil retention, water uptake, adsorption isotherm model, and kinetic behavior ... -
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 chromium by continuous flow using wool packed columns
(2010-01)Wool was utilized for the removal of Cr from aqueous solution. The wool fibers exhibited selective removal of Cr(VI) at pH 1.0. Breakthrough curves showed that wool can absorb Cr(VI) up to the maximum range studied (600 ... -
Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Environments Using Micelle-Clay Adsorption
(2013-12)Removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions under different conditions was investigated using either clay (montmorillonite) or micelle-clay complex, the last obtained by adsorbing critical micelle concentration of ... -
Removal of diclofenac potassium from wastewater using clay-micelle complex
(2012-06)The presence of an ionized carboxyl group in the widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug diclofenacpotassium results in a high mobility of diclofenac and in its low sorption under conditions of slow sand ... -
Removal of lead (II) ions from Aqueous Solution using Eggplant Peels Activated Charcoal
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-01)The eggplant peel activated charcoal (EPPAC) was investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of lead II ions from aqueous solution. Three methods were tested for the production of eggplant peel activated charcoal (EPPAC) ... -
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 ... -
Removal of nitrate from JUST wastewater effluent: a case study
(2013)Eutrophication phenomena occurred at JUST constructed pond. The main reason of this eutrophication process is the wastewater effluent of the campus wastewater treatment plant. This is due high nitrate content of the water ... -
Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zeolites, Porcelanite and Sands: Correlation of Morphology and Chemical Composition to Batch Removal Efficiency
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-03)Chemical compositions of natural zeolites, porcelanite (opal-CT) and local sands were determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and correlated with their Pb(II) removal efficiencies. Zeolites and porcelanite were from the ... -
Renewable and Storage Energy Integration for Smart Grid Housing
(2012-03)This paper presents the design, implementation and testing of an embedded system that integrates solar and storage energy resources to smart homes within the smart microgrid. The proposed system provides the required home ... -
Renewable Energy, Coal as a Baseload Power Source, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Evidence from U.S. State-Level Data
(Elsevier, 2017-05-15)This paper examines the relationship between renewable energy production and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) using U.S. state-level data for 2010. After controlling for other sources of emissions, U.S. states that produce ... -
The Response of Chickpea to Irrigation with Treated Waste Water
(2013-09)In a three-year study, the response of four cultivars of chickpea, Bulgarit, WIR-32, Jordan and ICC 11293 to irrigation with TW (treated wastewater) and FW (freshwater), using surface and subsurface drip irrigation was ... -
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 ... -
Review of best practices of solar electricity resources applications in selected Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries
(2011-08)Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries present abundant solar potential, which to some extent has been exploited for electricity production. However, the largest part of this potential remains still unexploited. The ... -
Review of current technologies used in municipal solid waste-to-energy facilities in Canada
(2015-10)The increasing amounts of municipal solid waste produced accompanied with the rising need for energy has caused a growth in the popularity of waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities as waste and energy solutions for many regions ... -
