The effluent streams of various industries contain heavy metals like chromium. The hexavalent form of it is highly toxic, which needs specific intensive treatment before disposal. Sheep’s wool, as a keratinous adsorbent, ...

Treatment of spent caustic (SC) wastes from downstream of refineries and petrochemical industries is not only complex but also highly expensive due to its content of high concentration of hazardous compounds, high pH, ...

The oil and gas industry has had to deal with a massive amount of waste water as a bi-product of the exploration of oil and gas. This waste water referred to as produced water (PW) and the amount of PW increases with the ...

High bromate levels in bottle water is a concern in UAE. In this study, bromate formation in bottles of drinking water was studied while exposed to various temperatures, storage times and pH levels. Three brands, referred ...

In efforts to make fresh water available to all people, researchers are dedicated to establish a water treatment method that will reduce the cost of production and impact on the environment. Forward osmosis desalination ...

In this study, three methods have been tested for the production of eggplant peel activated charcoal (EPPAC) from eggplant peel charcoal (EPPC). A new method has also been devised which does not include continuous involvement ...

Different activated carbons were produced from sewage sludge taken from Sharjah waste water treatment plant. Carbonization and activation were carried out in steam environment without an external flowing inert stream or ...

The microbial desalination fuel cell (MDFC) is an emerging desalination technology offering great promise of high salinity removal with zero energy input. Moreover, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) is of great reliability in ...

Recently, carbon nanotubes have been employed as new adsorbent for the removal of many pollutants. In this study, raw multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were firstly tested for the removal of lead from aqueous solutions. ...

Phenols are classified to be one of the most hazardous pollutants found in wastewater. They are discharged into rivers, lakes and seas, causing adverse effects on the enviromental and human health. Adsorption is a well-known ...
