Development of Activated Carbon Fibers for Organic Removals
Alkathiri, Doaa Salim Samhan (2017-11)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 ... -
Electrochemical Studies on the Corrosion Behavior of Common Metals in Eutectic Ionic Liquids
Alhasan, Rami (2017-05)Recently, new green novel solvents called Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) were investigated as substitute for none environmentally friendly organic solvents and ionic liquids that are used in many applications such as metal ... -
Green Inhibition of Mild Steel Corrosion in a CO2 Saturated Saline Solution
Gomes, Elron Edgar (2015-05)Mild steel is extensively used in equipment such as pipelines and machinery by many industries, where it is exposed to corrosive environments. Dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) can be found in produced water and results in ... -
Liquid Fuel Production from Pyrolysis of Waste Tires: Process Simulation, Exergetic Analysis, and Life Cycle Assessment
Altayeb, Ryan K. (2015-06)Scrap tire is considered to be one of the very common and significant solid wastes and its production is increasing due to the increased number of vehicles in both developed and developing countries. Initiatives are being ... -
Magnetic Fe3O4 Nano-Structured Coatings for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel
Abed, Khalil Mohammed (2014-07)The use of coatings is a prime method in corrosion control of mild steel in the industry. Inorganic coatings have proven potency in corrosion control over organic ones; however, they have always been associated with a ... -
Oil Removal From Produced Water Using Natural Materials
Gulistan, Abdul Sami (2014-06)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 ... -
The Optimization of Modified Composite Nano-materials as a Novel Approach to Dental Hygiene Remediation
Mahmoud, Marah Mazen (2019-12)Oral diseases have always been a challenge to contend with in the modern world, especially with the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles. These habits have contributed to the growth of S. mutans, P. gingivalis, and H. pylori, ... -
Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment using graphene oxide derivatives
Zaka, Awais (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 ... -
Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
Suliman, Malaz (2017-04)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. ... -
Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Wastewater using Modified Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
Dokmaji, Tamara Georgesaleh (2018-12)Recently, the interest and research on the removal of heavy metals from wastewater have dramatically increased due to the adverse effects they have on humans, flora and fauna. Chromium, which is a heavy metal, is the tenth ... -
Removal of Lead (II) Ions from Wastewater Using Eggplant Peels
Bin Babar, Zaeem (2013-01)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 ... -
Sequential batch contactors for removal of chromium (VI) from wastewater using sheep's wool
Ray, Priyasha (2017-05)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, ... -
