(2013-01)As a result of water scarcity, increasing demand for freshwater, and energy intensive nature of the conventional desalination processes, advancing the science of desalination is crucial in the development of sustainable ... -
Performance of Micelle-Clay Filters for Removing Pollutants and Bacteria from Tertiary Treated Wastewater
(2012-02)Filters filled with a micelle-clay complex mixed with sand were employed to investigate their purification capability of tertiary treated wastewater with loose UF-membranes. The UF membrane was hollow fiber with a molecular ... -
Performance of Olive Waste Ash Concrete Exposed to Thermal Cycling
(2010-05)This paper explores the influence of olive waste ash (OWA) on the performance of concrete to thermal cycling. The performance of concrete to thermal cycling was evaluated by measuring the compressive strength, electrical ... -
Performance of Structures Exposed to Extreme High Temperature - An Overview
(2013-09)Strength, durability and stability are the main criteria for material selection and design in the construction industry. Consequently, development and enhancement of construction materials is always an active and attractive ... -
Personnel contributions to UN and non-UN peacekeeping missions A public goods approach
(2015)Based on spatial panel regressions for 1990-2012, this article draws publicness differences between peacekeeping personnel contributions to UN and non-UN peacekeeping operations. The analysis shows that UN missions are ... -
Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment using graphene oxide derivatives
(2019-12)The rising problem of pharmaceutical contamination in different water bodies calls for a swift action in the treatment and removal of these emerging pollutants from water using advanced methods. Adsorption is employed as ... -
Phosphorus and Algae Removal via Adsorption
(2012-01)Algal bloom, commonly known as Red Tide in coastal areas, has become one of the major problems facing desalination plants due to the high biomass concentration of microalgae associated with it. It causes operational problems ... -
Phosphorus Recovery from the Wastewater Stream - Necessity and Possibilities
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The annual demand of phosphorus (P) for fertilizer use is more than 550,000 t in Germany. Several of the input streams like mineral fertilizer produced from phosphate rock or sewage sludge are problematic due to contamination ... -
Photocatalytic UV degradation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran in the presence of silver zeolite
(Springer, 2017-02-24)Silver clusters were introduced into the framework of zeolite Y. Low-temperature solid-state luminescence indicates the formation of silver–silver excimers and exciplexes that were found to be activated at 250 and 300 nm, ... -
