Self-healing behavior of epoxy-based double-layer nanocomposite coatings modified with Zirconia nanoparticles
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This work reports the self-healing behavior of epoxy-based double-layer nanocomposite coatings designed to mitigate corrosion in various industrial applications. Zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles were used as a carrier to load ...
Evaluation of pretreatment and membrane configuration for pressure-retarded osmosis application to produced water from the petroleum industry
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) is a promising membrane technology for harnessing the osmotic energy of saline solutions. PRO is typically considered with seawater/river water pairings however greater energy can be recovered ...
Sustainable utilization of waste carbon black in alkali-activated mortar production
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This article investigates the potential utilization of waste carbon black (WCB) resulting from the aluminum industry as a by-product material in the fly ash-based geopolymer composites production. Experimental study was ...
Anticoagulant activity of cellulose nanocrystals from isora plant fibers assembled on cellulose and sio2 substrates via a layer-by-layer approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, we report the isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from Isora plant fibers by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and their assembly on hydrophilic cellulose and silicon-di-oxide (SiO2) surfaces via a layer-by-layer ...
The separation of emulsified water/oil mixtures through adsorption on plasma-treated polyethylene powder
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This paper addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by ...

Hydrophobic microporous polystyrene (PS) fibers are fabricated by a solvent-induced phase-separation-assisted electrospinning method. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver-doped zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) nanomaterials with variable ...
Protocol for Preparing Synthetic Solutions Mimicking Produced Water from Oil and Gas Operations
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Produced water (PW) is the water associated with hydrocarbons during the extraction of oil and gas (O&G) from either conventional or unconventional resources. Existing efforts to enhance PW management systems include the ...
Performance Enhancement of PPMIM Drives by Using Three 3-Phase Four-Leg Inverters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
In this article, a multilevel inverter (MLI) scheme is proposed for 9-phase pole phase modulated induction motor (PPMIM) drives. The proposed inverter scheme is realized with the help of three 3-phase four-leg inverters. ...
Experimental and numerical analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics inside pulsating heat pipe
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2021 , Article)
Heat pipes are a popular choice for many industries and research applications to extract heat effectively by maintaining desired device/location at almost isothermal conditions. Pulsating heat pipes, also known as wickless ...
