A process design approach to manage the uncertainty of industrial flaring during abnormal operations
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Flare management challenges are related to the flaring uncertainty during abnormal situations. In this work, a multi-objective optimization framework is upgraded with multi-period optimization and Monte Carlo simulation ...
Mineralization of dichloromethane using solar-oxidation and activated TiO2: Pilot scale study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The oxidation of gaseous dichloromethane (DCM) by advanced oxidation technology, advanced solar oxidation technology, biological treatment, and the combination of solar advanced oxidation technology and biological treatment ...
Morphology and property changes in PLA/PHBV blends as function of blend composition
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
PLA/PHBV blends were prepared by melt mixing. The morphology and physical properties of the blends and neat polymers were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies provided evidence of interfacial cavities ...
Mathematical modeling, simulation and optimization of solar thermal powered Encontech engine for desalination
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigates a solar driven external combustion and regenerative engine, which can be used for desalination of seawater by using gaseous working fluids. The effect of operating and design parameters on engine ...
Evidence of low levels of aflatoxin M1 in milk and dairy products marketed in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This study was designed to explore the incidence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk and dairy products marketed in Qatar. Milk (n = 72), yogurt (n = 21), cheese (n = 46), butter (n = 18) and laban (n = 25) samples were initially ...
A dynamic approach for evacuees? distribution and optimal routing in hazardous environments
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In a complex built environment, the situation changes rapidly during an emergency event. Typically, available systems rely heavily on a static scenario in the calculation of safest routes for evacuation. In addition, egress ...
Nanostructured co-precipitated Ce0.9Ln0.1O2 (Ln = La, Pr, Sm, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, or Er) for thermochemical conversion of CO2
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The influence of lanthanide metal cations doped into the CeO2 crystal structure (to form Ce0.9Ln0.1O2; Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, or Er) on thermochemical reduction and the CO2 splitting ability of Ce0.9Ln0.1O2 is ...
Potential energy savings and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions reduction strategy for natural gas liquid (NGL) recovery: Process simulation and economic evaluation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Recovery of sales gas and natural gas liquid (NGL) is characterized by its high energy consumption and significant environmental impact. This study explores the effect of design alternatives for NGL recovery on economic, ...
Solar driven two-step CH4 reforming and H2O splitting using Al2O3 for Co-production of Al, syngas, and H2
(
Elsevier Ltd

The thermodynamic equilibrium and efficiency analysis of the solar-driven Al2O3-based CH4 reforming and H2O splitting process is performed in two sections: (1) Al and syngas producing open process (AS), and (2) Al, syngas, ...
Hepatitis C virus infection spontaneous clearance: Has it been underestimated?
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance rate (fclearance) is defined as the proportion of infected persons who will spontaneously clear their infection after acute infection. We aimed to estimate fclearance using a ...
