Using oil shale ash waste as a modifier for asphalt binders
(2013-10)
Oil shale rocks represent one of the most available sources of energy. Jordan land contains about 50 billion tons of oil shale, which makes Jordan the third in the world of the reserve of this material. Oil shale ash is a ...
Feasibility of Condensate Recovery in Humid Climates
(2013)
This study investigates the practicality of using the air-conditioning condensate as an additional source of water. The scarcities of natural water resources, especially in arid regions, represent a major obstacle restraining ...

(2013-11)
In this work, an overview of the different types of batteries used for large-scale electricity storage is carried out. In particular, the current operational large-scale battery energy storage systems around the world with ...
Assessment of solar electricity production in the United Arab Emirates
(2013)
In this work the possible large-scale integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems and parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) power system is investigated in technical, ...
Treatment of saline solutions using Air Gap Membrane Distillation: Experimental study
(2013-08)
Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) has been implemented for four different salts. The permeate fluxes of sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) are ...
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 ...
Use of desalinated reject water as a source of magnesium for phosphorus recovery
(2013-06)
In this study, the formation potential of struvite has been assessed using synthetic centrate mixed with reject water of a local desalination plant. NH4H2PO4, MgCl2 .6H2O,and NH4Cl were mixed in specific concentrations to ...
