    • Adsorptive Desulfurization of Commercial Diesel oil Using Granular Activated Charcoal 

      Al Zubaidi, Isam; Darwish, Noora; Elsayed, Yehya; Shareefdeen, Zarook; Sara, Ziad (2015)
      The adsorption of sulfur compounds form commercial diesel oil on a granular activated charcoal (GAC) was investigated. The equilibrium of sulfur adsorption on GAC was examined. The adsorption isotherms were determined and ...

    • Application of eggplant peels powder for the removal of oil from produced water 

      Gulistan, Abdul Sami; Ibrahim, Taleb; Khamis, Mustafa; Elsayed, Yehya (Taylor & Francis, 2016)
      The removal efficiency of oil from simulated samples of produced water (SPW) was studied using a low-cost adsorbent eggplant peel powder (EPP). The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature on the ...

    • Chemical and biological assessment of sediments and water of Khalid Khor, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates 

      Samara, Fatin; Elsayed, Yehya; Soghomonian, Balik; Knuteson, Sandra (Elsevier, 2016-10-15)
      Water and sediments were collected on March 2013 and April 2014 from Khalid Khor creek area in United Arab Emirates to assess their quality parameters. The pH and alkalinity of the water samples were measured and their ...

    • Chemical composition and potential health risks of raw Arabian incense (Bakhour) 

      Elsayed, Yehya; Dalibalta, Sarah; Gomes, Ioline; Fernandes, Nagelle; Alqtaishat, Fareedah (2014-11)
      Burning Arabian incense (Bakhour) is a common indoor practice in the Middle East and the Arabian Gulf region. However, the chemical composition of this substance has never been studied. Three different Bakhour brands were ...

    • A health risk assessment of Arabian incense (Bakhour) smoke in the United Arab Emirates 

      Dalibalta, Sarah; Elsayed, Yehya; Alqtaishat, Fareedah; Gomes, Ioline; Fernandes, Nagelle (2015-04)
      Burning Arabian incense (Bakhour) is a common practice in the Middle East and Arabian Gulf. Although the incense generates large amounts of chemicals and air pollutants, little is known with regard to the nature of these ...

    • Novel method for water purification using activated adsorbents developed from sewage sludge 

      Elsayed, Yehya; Khamis, Mustafa; Samara, Fatin; Alqaydi, Maitha; Sara, Ziad; Al Zubaidi, Isam; Mortula, Maruf (Taylor & Francis, 2016)
      Sewage sludge from Dubai was characterized using inductively coupled plasma and CHN elemental analysis. Selected sludge samples were washed with deionized water until constant conductivity was achieved. The sludge samples ...

    • Produced water treatment using olive leaves 

      Ibrahim, Taleb; Sabri, Muhammad Ashraf; Khamis, Mustafa; Elsayed, Yehya; Sara, Ziad; Hafiz, Baraa (Desalination Publications, 2017-01)
      Olive leaves powder (OLP) was employed as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of hexane extractable crude oil from simulated produced water. The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, salinity as well as temperature ...

    • Removal of benzo (a) anthracene from water using a novel UAE sludge-based activated adsorbent 

      Samara, Fatin; Khamis, Mustafa; Sara, Ziad; Elsayed, Yehya (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 ...
