(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The Gulf Cooperation Council is a regional cooperation of six Middle Eastern countries-Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. A common feature of these countries is the existence of many ...
Microalgal bioremediation of petroleum-derived low salinity and low pH produced water
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Due to the presence of toxic organic compounds and heavy metals, it is essential to treat the produced water before reuse or discharge to the environment. In this study, produced water sample was collected from a local ...
Carbon mineralization by reaction with steel-making waste: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is taking the lead as a means for mitigating climate change. It is considered a crucial bridging technology, enabling carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from fossil fuels to be reduced ...
Role of TiO2 and carbon nanotubes on polyethylene, and effect of accelerated weathering on photo oxidation and mechanical properties
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, LLDPE-based composite films were prepared by melt mixing followed by compression molding to investigate the role of titanium oxide nanoparticles (TONPs) and/or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the ...
Thermodynamics and kinetics of CH4/CO2 binary mixture separation by metal-organic frameworks from isotope exchange and adsorption break-through
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
We combine the isotope exchange technique (IET) with the conventional Sieverts method, microcalorimetry, breakthrough experiments and multi-scale modelling to comprehensively and quantitatively investigate the thermodynamics ...
Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels in Engines Based on the Antipolyelectrolyte Effect and Driven by the Salinity Gradient
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we propose and investigate an original approach to energy conversion based on polyzwitterionic hydrogels, which exhibit an antipolyelectrolyte effect that enables them to swell in salt water and shrink in ...
Stretchable Electrospun PVDF-HFP/Co-ZnO Nanofibers as Piezoelectric Nanogenerators
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2018 , Article)
Herein, we investigate the morphology, structure and piezoelectric performances of neat polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) and PVDF-HFP/Co-ZnO nanofibers, fabricated by electrospinning. An increase in ...
