Photocatalytic removal of phenol from refinery wastewater: Catalytic activity of Cu-doped titanium dioxide
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
A series of Cu-doped TiO2 catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method and the effect of various synthesis parameters, including solvent type; solvent/catalyst amount; amount of water; catalyst type/amount; and acid type, ...
Mathematical model for predicting sludge accumulation in septic tanks based on operational parameters: effect of hydraulic mixing
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Reporting sludge accumulation in septic tanks as a constant rate is no longer accepted, and there is a need for a model that predicts sludge accumulation in septic tanks taking into consideration the continuous consumption ...
Managing abnormal operation through process integration and cogeneration systems
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Flaring is a common industrial practice that leads to substantial greenhouse gas emissions, health problems, and economic losses. When the causes, magnitudes, and frequency of flaring are properly understood and incorporated ...
Nanowetting of Graphene by Ionic Liquid Droplets
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
The behavior of nanodroplets formed by amino acid based 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine ionic liquid on graphene sheets was studied using classic molecular dynamics. Nanodroplets of different sizes were analyzed, and ...
Systematic Study on the Viscosity of Ionic Liquids: Measurement and Prediction
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Dynamic viscosity for twenty-seven ionic liquids involving ions with molecular structures selected to infer the effects of molecular structure on fluids' viscosity is reported in this work as a function of temperature. The ...
Boron removal from saline water by a microbial desalination cell integrated with donnan dialysis
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Boron has toxic effects on plant growth and thus its removal is necessary from desalinated saline water for irrigation application. Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) are a new approach for effective desalination but boron ...
The impact of charges in force field parameterization for molecular dynamics simulations of deep eutectic solvents
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The nanoscopic characteristics and macroscopic physicochemical properties of choline chloride:levulinic acid (1:2 mole ratio) deep eutectic solvent are analyzed from molecular dynamics simulations. Considering the ionic ...
A comprehensive impedance journey to continuous microbial fuel cells
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The aim of the present work was to characterize the impedance response of an air-cathode MFC operating in a continuous mode and to determine intrinsic properties that define its performance which are crucial to be controlled ...
Improving the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells by TiO2-graphene nanocomposite photoanode
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanocomposite photoanodes were prepared by addition of graphene (GR) micro-platelets to TiO2 nanoparticulate paste. TiO2/graphene based DSSCs were fabricated using Z907 photosensitizer. Transmission electron microscope was ...
Rheology of organoclay assisted extrusion of HDPE using Particle Image Velocimetry
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
Wall slip is often seen as a source of flow enhancement and can play a significant role during certain melt instabilities in polymer processing. In the present investigation, the effect of organoclay on the wall slip of ...
