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 ... -
Analysis of a Recent Biofilter Model for Toluene Biodegradation
Qasim, Muhammad; Shareefdeen, Zarook (2013-01)This paper investigates and provides a critical analysis of the toluene biofilter model developed by Li and De Visscher. The model simulation results have been reproduced and compared with several sets of experimental data ... -
A biofilter design tool for hydrogen sulfide removal calculations
Shareefdeen, Zarook (2012-08)Biofilters have been used for decades in the management of nuisance odors that are emitted from the collection and treatment systems of municipal sewage works. Typically hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been identified as the ... -
Dispersion of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emissions from a Biofilter at an Electronic Manufacturing Facility
Azlah, Nada; Shareefdeen, Zarook; Elkamel, Ali (Wiley, 2017-03-01)Printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing industries, known as PCB facilities, emit odorous and toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Such compounds not only harm the health but also create a nuisance environment for ... -
Dynamic modeling and analysis of biotrickling filters in continuous operation for H2S remova
Ahmed, Wasim; Shareefdeen, Zarook; Abdel-Jabbar, Nabil (2014-12)A number of important biotrickling filter (BTF) models are reviewed. For our study, a theoretical model, based on H2S removal in a differential BTF under batch mode, was selected among the models reviewed. Using a cascade ... -
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal using schist packings in industrial biofilter applications
Shareefdeen, Zarook (2015-01)Expanded schist can be a promising biofilter media for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) removal in industrial applications. In this work, H2S removal performance of a biofilter packed with expanded schist is compared with a patented ... -
Hydrogen Sulphide Removal Using a Novel Biofilter Media
Shareefdeen, Zarook; Aidan, Ahmed; Ahmed, Wasim; Khatri, M. B.; Islam, Mohammad; Lecheheb, R.; Shams, F. (2010-02)Air emissions from waste treatment plants often consist of a combination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odors. Hydrogen sulfide is one of the major odorous gases present in the waste emissions coming from municipal ... -
Kinetics and Modeling of H2S Removal in a Novel Biofilter
Shareefdeen, Zarook; Ahmed, Wasim; Aidan, Ahmed (2011-04)Biofiltration has become a widely accepted technology for the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which is one of the major odor causing gases present in the air streams of municipal wastewater treatment facilities. In ... -
Management and control of air emissions from electronic industries
Bin Babar, Zaeem; Shareefdeen, Zarook (2014-01)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including acetone, dichloromethane, ethanol, ethylene glycol, iso-propyl alcohol, and several other aromatic compounds are emitted during the manufacturing processes in electronic industries. ... -
Medical Waste Management and Control
Shareefdeen, Zarook (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 ... -
Review of current technologies used in municipal solid waste-to-energy facilities in Canada
Shareefdeen, Zarook; Elkamel, Ali; Tse, Stanley (2015-10)The increasing amounts of municipal solid waste produced accompanied with the rising need for energy has caused a growth in the popularity of waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities as waste and energy solutions for many regions ... -
A synthetic biofilter media for ammonia (NH3) removal
Shareefdeen, Zarook (2012)In this work, a patented biofilter media is used in treating air contaminated with ammonia (NH3). The data shows up to 200 ppm of NH3 can be removed with over 93% removal efficiency at 30 s Empty Bed Residence Time (EBRT). ... -
A theoretical analysis of an air stripper–biofilter system (ASBF) for industrial wastewater treatment
Shareefdeen, Zarook; Janjani, Sachin (Desalination Publications, 2017-12)In this study, we focus on the industrial wastewater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (or VOC’s) which are carbon-containing compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, etc. VOC’s in general are toxic ...
