Biocrude oil production from a self-settling marine cyanobacterium, Chroococcidiopsis sp., using a biorefinery approach
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Although the whole microalgal biomass is typically used as a feedstock for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), the conversion of a primary metabolite (i.e., carbohydrate) to biocrude is very low. In this study, a self-settling ... -
Biodegradable polysaccharide grafted polyacrylamide inhibitor for corrosion in CO2- saturated saline solution
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)A biodegradable polysaccharide-based inhibitor is grafted with polyacrylamide (PAM) for oilfields’ sweet corrosion. The green properties of agar and PAM were incorporated to synthesize an agar-grafted-PAM (AGGPAM) inhibitor. ... -
Biodegradable Preformed Particle Gel (PPG) Made of Natural Chitosan Material for Water Shut-Off Application
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Oil and gas extraction frequently produces substantial volumes of produced water, leading to several mechanical and environmental issues. Several methods have been applied over decades, including chemical processes such ... -
Biodegradation Kinetics of Benzene and Naphthalene in the Vadose and Saturated Zones of a (Semi)-Arid Saline Coastal Soil Environment
( Hindawi Limited , 2019 , Article)Biodegradation is a key process for the remediation of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), but this process is not well known for the (semi)-Arid coastal environments where saline conditions and continuous ... -
Biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in plant roots and rhizosphere soil from different arid land environment of Qatar
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2022 , Article)Recently more attention has been observed toward the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in plant growth. Qatar belongs to the Arabian Gulf region with hot and dry climatic conditions. The study aims to investigate ... -
