Synthesis, characterization and applications of electroless Ni-B coatings-A review
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2016 , Article Review)
Electroless nickel coating process has experienced remarkable modifications since its invention by Branner and Riddell in 1946. This process has proven to be very useful for applying uniform, hard, wear resistant coatings ...
Flavonol-carbon nanostructure hybrid systems: A DFT study on the interaction mechanism and UV/Vis features
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Flavonols are a class of natural compounds with potential biological and pharmacological applications. They are also natural pigments responsible for the diversity of colors in plants. Flavonols offer the possibility of ...
Field study comparing the effect of hydraulic mixing on septic tank performance and sludge accumulation
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
This study investigates the effect of hydraulic mixing on anaerobic digestion and sludge accumulation in a septic tank. The performance of a septic tank equipped with a hydraulic mixer was compared with that of a similar ...
Designing ionic liquid solvents for carbon capture using property-based visual approach
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been introduced as potential carbon dioxide (CO2)-capturing solvents, as a substitute to conventional amine-based solvents. Conventional amine-based solvents that are used for CO2 capture ...
Optimal control of a non-isothermal catalytic packed-bed reactor model
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work deals with the linear-quadratic control problem for a non-isothermal packed-bed catalytic reactor, which is described by coupled hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations model. The classical Riccati ...
Oxygen reduction reaction catalysts used in microbial fuel cells for energy-efficient wastewater treatment: A review
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article Review)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as an energy-efficient wastewater treatment technology have attracted increasing interest in the past decade. Cathode catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) present a major challenge ...
Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been studied for contaminant removal from wastewater and salinity reduction in saline water. However, in an MDC wastewater treatment and desalination occurs in different streams, ...
Novel Ni based duplex coatings for anticorrosion applications
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Ni-B/Ni-P-CeO2 duplex coatings containing inner Ni-B layer were synthesized on mild steel substrate through the electrodeposition process. The structural, surface and electrochemical properties of the duplex coatings in ...
Optimal Design of Cogeneration Systems to Use Uncertain Flare Streams
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
An optimization approach is proposed for managing flares from multiple plants. The aim of the proposed approach is to utilize flared gas during an abnormal situation to produce combined heat and power while reducing the ...
Impact of temperature and storage time on the migration of antimony from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers into bottled water in Qatar
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
Prosperity in Qatar and the consequent stresses on water resources resulted in a sustainable increase in the bottled drinking water market. Reports on health concerns and possible migration of chemicals from the plastic ...
