Assessment of Disinfection By-Product Formation in Polymeric Pipe Distribution Systems
Shabani, Sina (2013-06)In recent years, polymeric materials have become the dominant type of material used for drinking water pipe distribution systems. They have some advantages over other types of pipes such as cast iron, ductile iron, concrete, ... -
Comparative Evaluation of Activated Carbon and Granulated Blast Furnace Slag in Treating Greywater
Iqbal, Fatima (2020-05)Recycling greywater (GW) for on-site, non-potable application can reduce the load to wastewater treatment plants and stress on potable water demand for domestic water supply. However, utilization of GW requires careful ... -
Development of a Smart System for Leak Detection in Water Distribution Networks
Elshazly, Doha Hesham (2021-12)Water is a critical source of life for the human society, which needs to be sustained. Every year, a considerable portion of water is lost from water distribution networks (WDNs) due to leaks. This is accompanied by ... -
Evaluating the factors affecting microplastic removal from synthetic leachate via electrocoagulation
Al-Dawood, Zahraa (2023-11)The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in the environment has raised concerns over their impact on human, environmental and ecological health. Landfill leachate, which is the highly toxic wastewater produced in landfills, ... -
Evaluation of Microplastics in Beach Sediments along the Coast of Dubai, U.A.E
Aslam, Huda (2019-05)The unprecedented increase in consumption in conjunction with poor management of plastic waste have resulted in global contamination of both terrestrial and marine environments. Plastic debris undergoes fragmentation, ... -
Evaluation of The Factors Affecting Microplastics and Nanoparticles in Plastic Water Supply Pipes
Hammodat, Amina Rayan (2020-11)Water distribution system (WDS) supplies good quality water to individual households. It can affect the water quality, human health, and hence the role of WDS on the water quality must be investigated. Various pipe materials ... -
Formation of Bromate in Pet Bottle Water
Sharif, Haifa (2014-01)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 ... -
A Framework for Coupling and Quantifying Sustainability and Resilience in Intelligent Buildings
Al Qurneh, Deena Ahmed (2020-07) -
Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater using Novel Adsorbent
Kaakani, Manal (2012-01)Heavy metals, when in abundance, can be very toxic to the medium in which it is dissolved. Adsorption has been used as a suitable water treatment process to remove heavy metals. Many studies have been conducted to remove ... -
Improving Resilience in Water Distribution System
Ismail, Ahmed Farid (2022-12) -
Microplastic Pollution Detection in Coastal Waters of Dubai
Mohsen, Batoul (2020-11) -
Modeling of Chlorophyll-a and Eutrophication Indicators in the Dubai Creek Area using Remote Sensing
Bachir, Abdallah Raafat (2015-01)The last few decades have witnessed an increase in the frequency and magnitude of the occurrences of algal blooms in coastal regions. A high increase in the levels of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) in the water column ... -
Phosphorus and Algae Removal via Adsorption
Ghadban, Ahmad A. (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 ... -
Role of Pipe Material and Aging on the Leaching of Microplastics in the Water Distribution Network
Nassar, Shumayal (2022-12) -
Spatial Distribution and Abundance of Emerging Microplastics Pollutants in Groundwater of UAE
