Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Breakthrough Curves of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption on Metal Organic Framework CPM-5
(ACS, 2013-07)It is essential to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas because it is considered one of the main causes of global warming. Several materials and different methods have been reported for CO2 capturing including adsorption ... -
A Measure of Capacity Contribution of Static Mono-Si Photovoltaic Systems
(2013-05)Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity in the daytime when system demand is generally moderate to high. For Mediterranean countries, there is also seasonal coincidence of high system demand and high PV load factors. ... -
Mechanical and phytochemical protection mechanisms of Calligonum comosum in arid deserts
(Public Library of Science, 2018)Unlike animals, plants are sessile organisms, lacking circulating antibodies and specialized immune cells and are exposed to various harsh environmental conditions that make them at risk of being attacked by different ... -
Medical Waste Management and Control
(2012-12)Medical centers including hospitals, clinics and places where diagnosis and treatment are conducted generate wastes that are highly hazardous and put people under risk of fatal diseases. Although the understanding of medical ... -
Merging green infrastructure with the design of public open spaces: A brief literature review
(Universitätsverlag der Technischen Universität Berlin, 2011)The advent of new green infrastructure systems (decentralized, small-scaled facilities and spaces to produce energy, food, water, recycle wastewater, and dispose of organic waste based on renewable energy sources) offers ... -
Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the Presence of Activated Carbon
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)This report studies the performance of a Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the presence ofactivated carbon in both the cathode and anode chambers. The large surface area of the activatedcarbon provides surface for ... -
Microbial Desalination Cells Technology: A Review and a Case Study
(Elsevier, 2015-03)The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable ... -
Microbial Removal from Secondary Treated Wastewater Using a Hybrid System of Ultrafiltration and Reverse Osmosis
(2012-07)The efficiency of advanced membranes towards removal of general and specific microbes from wastewater was investigated. The treatment included a subsequent system of activated sludge, ultrafiltration (hollow fibre membranes ... -
Micropollutants Removal from Water using Microfiltration Membrane Modified with ZIF-8 Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
(Elsevier, 2016-09-15)A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) double layer microfiltration membrane has been modified with zeolite imidazolate metal organic frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) and tested for micropollutants removal from water. The physical properties ... -
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 ... -
A Mobile GPRS-Sensors Array for Air Pollution Monitoring
(2010-10)An online GPRS-Sensors Array for air pollution monitoring has been designed, implemented, and tested. The proposed system consists of a Mobile Data-Acquisition Unit (Mobile-DAQ) and a fixed Internet-Enabled Pollution ... -
A Model to Predict the Resulting Grain Size of Friction-Stir-Processed AZ31 Magnesium Alloy
(2012-06)One of the most important issues that hinder the widespread use of friction stir (FS) processing, an effective microstructural modification technique, is the lack of accurate predictive tools that enable the selection of ... -
Modeling and dynamic analysis of a membrane bioreactor withbackwash scheduling
(2012-03)A dynamic model, based on mass transport and reaction rate laws of biomass and substrate for a membrane bioreactor (MBR), was successfully developed. Furthermore, an empirical model for flux prediction was used. Key kinetic ... -
