Hydration, strength, and shrinkage of cementitious materials mixed with simulated desalination brine
(
ASTM International
, 2019 , Article)
The process of desalination results in the production of a hypersaline waste by-product known as reject brine. In some locations, this reject brine is dumped back into the ocean, which has potentially detrimental effects ...
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 ...
Monitoring and measurement of microalgae using the first derivative of absorbance and comparison with chlorophyll extraction method
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Monitoring of microalgae in water supplies and industrial applications are becoming increasingly important, yet there are few options available that are simple and accurate, and can provide real-time information. The present ...
Improving the Performance of Attached-Growth Wastewater Treatment Processes by Altering the Support Media Surface
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This study investigated the impact of altering the surface characteristics of support media used in attached-growth processes on the performance of biological wastewater treatment. The surface alteration was achieved through ...
Potential for green algae spirulina to capture carbon dioxide from gas stream
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This study evaluated the use of green algae Spirulina microalgae as a C02 capturing technology at different temperatures. The growth of Spirulina at 25 and 30◦C were studied in synthetic wastewater and its performance in ...
The cost benefit of algal technology for combined CO2 mitigation and nutrient abatement
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The use of microalgae culture technology (MCT) for mitigating CO2 emissions from flue gases and nutrient discharges from wastewater whilst generating a biofuel product is considered with reference to the cost benefit ...
Noble metal -doped graphitic carbon nitride photocatalyst for enhancement photocatalytic decomposition of antibiotic pollutant in wastewater under visible light
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This study the noble metal (Ag)-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalyst was synthesized via a facial thermal condensation method. The structure and surface elements distribution of synthesized materials were ...
Surpassing the current limitations of high purity H2 production in microbial electrolysis cell (MECs): Strategies for inhibiting growth of methanogens
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are perceived as a potential and promising innovative biotechnological tool that can convert carbon-rich waste biomass or wastewater into hydrogen (H2) or other value-added chemicals. ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the growth rate and treatment efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris, Neochloris oleoabundans and mixed indigenous microalgae for the removal of organic carbon, nitrogen ...
Evaluating greywater and A/C condensate daily volume and water quality in urban settings
(
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Due to increasing water demand as a result of population growth and improvement in living standards, many countries with arid climate are already facing water shortages that are being met by expensive desalination projects. ...
