A comprehensive review on the rheological behavior of imidazolium based ionic liquids and natural deep eutectic solvents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
The rheological behavior of a fluid is an important property that has a distinct impact on its flow conduct, which influence viscosity dependent phenomena and applications such as pumping, mass transfer rates, and ...
Isolation, identification and biodiversity of antiscalant degrading seawater bacteria using MALDI-TOF-MS and multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is a commonly used desalination technique owing to its lesser environmental and economic impacts as compared to thermal desalination techniques. Antiscalants are used in SWRO to reduce ...
Fabrication of high flux nanofiltration membrane via hydrogen bonding based co-deposition of polydopamine with poly(vinyl alcohol)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The use of bio-inspired polydopamine (PDA) chemistry for membrane development has attracted increasing interest in recent years. This paper reports on the fabrication of new nanofiltration (NF) membrane with a robust and ...
Impact of combined oil-in-water emulsions and particulate suspensions on ceramic membrane fouling and permeability recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The application of crossflow ceramic microfiltration (CFCMF) to the removal of emulsified oil from a simple analogue of raw produced water (PW) arising from oil exploration has been studied. Outcomes relate to surfactant ...
The impact of mechanical shear on membrane flux and energy demand
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article Review)
The use of forced mechanical shear for both disc membranes (rotating and vibrating disc filtration, RDF and VDF respectively) and hollow fibres (vibrating HF membranes, VHFM) is reviewed. These systems have been extensively ...
Comparison of 2D triangular C-grid shallow water models
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
An ideal two-dimensional (2D) shallow water model should be able to simulate correctly various types of waves including pure gravity and inertia-gravity waves. In this paper, two different triangular C-grid methods are ...
Polymeric adsorbents for oil removal from water
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the application of four synthetic resins for the removal of emulsified oil from produced water was investigated. Key experimental parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial oil concentration ...
The size and performance of offshore produced water oil-removal technologies for reinjection
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Produced water (PW) is wastewater generated from oil exploration, and requires treating for oil and suspended solids removal. The viability of an effluent treatment unit process for this duty is dependent both on its ...
Influence of polyelectrolytes and other polymer complexes on the flocculation and rheological behaviors of clay minerals: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article Review)
Separation of clay minerals from industrial wastewaters is of great academic and practical importance. Current treatment techniques are either not economically viable, not environmentally friendly, or both. Thus, researchers ...
Recycling of hospital laundry wastewater using membrane technology
(
Desalination Publications
, 2017 , Article)
The laundry wastewater from a Qatari hospital has been characterized and its membrane filtration behavior studied. 1,800-2,500 L or wastewater per cycle for washing a laundry load of 40-50 kg was determined, with the ...
