CHAPTER 12: Hybrid Nano-filler for Value Added Rubber Compounds for Recycling
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2019 , Book chapter)The generation of waste and its treatment is a challenging problem nowadays. Rubber that is generally considered for recycling comes from the tyres of vehicles. After their use, the waste tyres can lead to hazardous effects ... -
Delineating the plastic waste status in the State of Qatar: Potential opportunities, recovery and recycling routes.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)The Qatar's national vision (QNV2030) underlines an unequivocal commitment to maintaining harmony between the three inter-dependent pillars of sustainable development: economic growth, social development and environmental ... -
Improvement of ternary recycled polymer blend reinforced with date palm fibre
( Elsevier, Ltd , 2014 , Article)This paper investigates the study and preparation of date palm fibre reinforced recycled polymer blend composites. This is the first paper which describes the recycled polymer ternary blends of (1) recycled low density ... -
Material flow analysis of plastic waste in the gulf co-operation countries (GCC) and the Arabian gulf: Focusing on Qatar
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Global plastic waste production has increased dramatically in recent years, both globally and regionally, having a multitude of adverse effects on the environment and human health. However, little attention has been directed ... -
An overview of the plastic waste and recycling status in Qatar
(2019 , Conference Paper)It has been estimated that the average Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation rate per capita in the Gulf Co-operation countries (GCC) is approx. 1.5 kg/person/d, with Qatar reaching almost 1.4 kg/person/d, as it was ... -
Phase change materials designed from Tetra Pak waste and paraffin wax as unique thermal energy storage systems
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Thermal energy storage systems (TES) based on shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCM) designed from recycled Tetra Pak (TP) waste, paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) were investigated in this study. This ... -
Recycling of Tetra Pak for Space and Water Heating by Blending with Phase Change Materials
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)A rapid rise in demands for thermal comfort in the building sector necessitates higher energy consumption for air conditioning, ventilation, space, and water heating systems. Recently, phase change materials (PCMs) have ... -
Thermal properties measurement and heat storage analysis of paraffin/graphite composite phase change material
( Elsevier Ltd , 2014 , Article)This study aims at the preparation of a paraffin/graphite waste composite for thermal energy storage application at low temperature. In this composite material, the paraffin is characterized by high phase change latent ... -
Unpacking the complexity of the PET drink bottles value chain: A chemicals perspective
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article Review)Chemicals can migrate from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) drink bottles to their content and recycling processes may concentrate or introduce new chemicals to the PET value chain. Therefore, even though recycling PET ... -
Utilization of steel-making dust in drilling fluids formulations
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)Steelmaking is an energy-intensive process that generates considerable amounts of byproducts and wastes, which often pose major environmental and economic challenges to the steelmaking industry. One of these by-products ...
