Oil Removal From Produced Water Using Natural Materials
(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 ...
Modeling Water Flux in Forward Osmosis: Implications for Improved Membrane Design
(2013-05)
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 ...
Spent Caustic Treatment Using Advanced Oxidation Processes
(2012-05)
Mixed refinery spent caustic is an industrial wastewater that is generated from oil refineries. Spent caustic undergo two treatment steps, chemical oxidation followed by biological post treatment step. The goal of chemical ...
Production of Activated Carbon from Sewage Sludge for the Removal of Lead from Water
(2012-06)
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 ...
Membrane Bioreactor-Desalination Microbial Fuel Cell Hybrid System
(2018-04)
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 ...
Model Development, Application and Optimization of Chlorination Breakpoint in Wastewater Treatment
(2017-12)
Chlorination in wastewater treatment is regarded as a complicated process due to its ammonia and nitrite content. Chlorine added to such systems reacts with ammonia undergoing episodes of complex reactions, resulting in ...
Control and Optimization of Membrane Biological Reactor Processes
(2011-01)
Membrane biological reactor (MBR) is an emerging technology adopted for domestic and industrial wastewater treatment. The high selectivity of the semi permeable membrane to water results in membrane fouling. Fouling is a ...
Assessment of Disinfection By-Product Formation in Polymeric Pipe Distribution Systems
(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, ...
Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Wastewater using Modified Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
(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
(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 ...
