Novel aluminum oxide-impregnated carbon nanotube membrane for the removal of cadmium from aqueous solution
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
An aluminum oxide-impregnated carbon nanotube (CNT-Al2O3) membrane was developed via a novel approach and used in the removal of toxic metal cadmium ions, Cd(II). The membrane did not require any binder to hold the carbon ...
Mechanistic and adsorption equilibrium studies of dibenzothiophene-rich-diesel on MnO2-loaded-activated carbon: Surface characterization
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, the preparation and characterization of MnO2-modified-activated carbon for selective removal of organosulfur compounds including dibenzothiophene were outlined. The deposited particles of the modifier were ...
Novel electrodeposited Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings with improved properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of Ni-B ...
Kinetics of CO2 Adsorption/Desorption of Polyethyleneimine-Mesoporous Silica
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The kinetics of adsorption of CO2 on solid sorbents based on polyethyleneimine/mesoporous silica (PEI/MPS) was studied by following the mass gain during CO2 flow. Linear (PEI-423) and branched (PEI-10k) polymers were ...
Selective adsorption of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen using resorcinol-formaldehyde-xerogel activated carbon
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Resorcinol–formaldehyde xerogel was prepared, carbonized and activated in specific conditions to form resorcinol–formaldehyde activated carbon xerogel (RF-ACX) that was to produce microporous nanoparticles. RF-ACX was used ...
The Economics of Helium Separation and Purification by Gas Separation Membranes
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Membrane gas separation has the potential to recover and purify helium, either directly from natural gas or as part of the off gas produced from the nitrogen rejection unit in conventional natural gas processing. Process ...
Adsorptive Removal of Arsenic and Mercury from Aqueous Solutions by Eucalyptus Leaves
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The study is a first-time investigation into the use of Eucalyptus leaves as a low-cost herbal adsorbent for the removal of arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacity and efficiency were ...
Screening alternatives for producing paraffinic phase change materials for thermal energy storage in buildings
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Screening alternatives for producing paraffinic phase change materials (PCMs) from natural gas‐based products was investigated. Based on the quality and cost of these PCMs, two sources were identified: (i) hydrogenated ...
Optimal Design of Multiplant Cogeneration Systems with Uncertain Flaring and Venting
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents an optimization approach for designing cogeneration systems using flares and vents under abnormal conditions from different industrial plants. The aim of the proposed approach is to enhance resource ...
Synergistic effects and optimization of nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations on the growth and nutrient uptake of a freshwater Chlorella vulgaris
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The synergistic effects and optimization of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations on the growth of Chlorella vulgaris (CCAP 211/11B, CS-42) and nutrient removal have been investigated under different concentrations ...
