Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The effect of the membrane orientation, feeds flow rate, feeds temperature, and combining effect of both temperature and flow rate on the membrane flux was investigated in order to enhance the performance of forward osmosis ...
Fuzzy Logic-Based Model to Predict the Impact of Flow Rate and Turbidity on the Performance of Multimedia Filters
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper uses fuzzy logic-based models to predict and evaluate the performance of multimedia filters utilized in wastewater treatment. A fuzzy logic-based model is constructed and trained to predict the operating time ...
Predicting the performance of multi-media filters using artificial neural networks
(
IWA Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
The impact of flow rate and turbidity on the performance of multi-media filtration has been studied using an artificial neural network (ANN) based model. The ANN model was developed and tested based on experimental data ...
A study to investigate the energy recovery potential from different macromolecules of a low-lipid marine Tetraselmis sp. biomass through HTL process
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigated the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of extracted major macromolecules from Tetraselmis sp. biomass. The carbohydrate fraction was first recovered from Tetraselmis biomass using pressurized heated ...
A comparison of bio-crude oil production from five marine microalgae – Using life cycle analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Marine microalgae biomass could offer a viable feedstock for sustainably producing biofuel by hydrothermal liquefaction. In this study, five promising marine microalgae (i.e., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Synechococcus, ...
Fabrication of fouling resistant Ti3C2Tx (MXene)/cellulose acetate nanocomposite membrane for forward osmosis application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, Ti3C2Tx (MXene) was used to enhance the fouling resistance of FO flat-thin film membranes. Mixed-matrix Ti3C2Tx (MXene)/ cellulose acetate (CA) membranes with different (wt%) loading of MXene were fabricated ...
Evaluation of forward osmosis as a pretreatment process for multi stage flash seawater desalination
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The present study evaluates the feasibility of applying forward osmosis (FO) process for the pretreatment of feed solution to a Multi Stage Flash (MSF) desalination plant. For the first time, real brine reject and real ...
Concentration of pb, cu, zn and cd in the roadside soil of doha: Effect of traffic volume and season
(
HARD
, 2021 , Article)
The concentration of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in the roadside soil of Doha was evaluated. Three different roads were selected for the study namely, Mesrif street, Salwa road and Cornish street ...
Impact of high turbidity on reverse osmosis: Evaluation of pretreatment processes
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
This study evaluates the performance of sand filtration (SF) and ultra-filtration (UF) as pretreat-ment processes for reverse osmosis (RO) for seawater with turbidities of 4.8, 23.2, and 99.7 NTU. For seawater with a ...
Magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for forward osmosis: Current status and future challenges in wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Forward osmosis is considered as the least energy intensive membrane process since it operates based on the osmotic pressure gradient. However, it is still considered as immature technology mainly due to the elevated cost ...
