Development of novel magnetic bentonite based adsorbents combined with different carbon sources for removal of oil content from produced water
(2021 , Master Thesis)
Water scarcity is a challenge faced worldwide due to depleting sustainable good quality water resources. Produced water, associated with the production of gas and oil, usually comes as oil contaminated water, creating real ...
Developing a Framework for Optimal Performance of Activated Carbon/ Graphene Oxide/Activated Carbon-Graphene Oxide Nano Adsorbent for the Removal of Antibiotics from Wastewater
(2021 , Master Thesis)
Antibiotics are important drugs for treating infectious diseases and they have undoubtedly saved the lives of millions of people. A growing global problem is the emergence of antibiotic resistance, which means that the ...
Continuous adsorptive removal of glimepiride using multi-walled carbon nanotubes in fixed-bed column.
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Water pollution by emerging pollutants such as pharmaceutical and personal care products is one of today's biggest challenges. The presence of these emerging contaminants in water has raised increasing concern due to their ...
The Separation of Emulsified Water/Oil Mixtures through Adsorption on Plasma-Treated Polyethylene Powder
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
This work addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by radio-frequency ...
The Catalytic Thermo-oxidative Decomposition of Glimepiride
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
In this study, the thermal decomposition of glimepiride, a common antidiabetic drug, was analyzed in the presence of N2 and O2 and various metal oxide catalysts. The analysis was conducted using TGA. The results showed ...

This paper addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by ...
Microwave Enhanced Synthesis of Sulfonated Chitosan-Montmorillonite for Effective Removal of Methylene Blue
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, sulfonated chitosan montmorillonite composite (S-CS-MT) beads were synthesized using a microwave irradiation method designed to have a better saving-time procedure. The potency of S-CS-MT as an adsorbent was ...
Insight into the chemically modified crop straw adsorbents for the enhanced removal of water contaminants: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Crop straws represent the major part of lignocellulosic wastes that mainly consist of three polymeric components, namely cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These straws gain great attention owing to their low cost, ...
Desorption of chloramphenicol from ordered mesoporous carbon-alginate beads: Effects of operating parameters, and isotherm, kinetics, and regeneration studies
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This study has investigated the desorption of an emerging contaminant, known as chloramphenicol (CPC), from ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC)-alginate beads. The effects of initial concentration, operating temperature, and ...
A review on microwave-assisted synthesis of adsorbents and its application in the removal of water pollutants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article Review)
The use of conventional heating techniques in adsorbents preparation involves long synthesis time, high energy consumption, high cost and material fast firing. Recently, Microwave heating technique has been used to replace ...
