, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, the effect of doping of transition metal cations on thermal reduction and CO2 splitting ability of Ce0.9M0.1O2−δ materials (where, M = Ni, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, Cr, Co, Zr) is investigated by performing multiple ...
Mathematical modeling, simulation and optimization of solar thermal powered Encontech engine for desalination
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigates a solar driven external combustion and regenerative engine, which can be used for desalination of seawater by using gaseous working fluids. The effect of operating and design parameters on engine ...
Single and multi-component adsorption of aromatic acids using an eco-friendly polyaniline-based biocomposite
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The polyaniline coated with an agricultural waste (Argan nut shell) was prepared via in-situ chemical polymerization and used as an adsorbent material for removal of trimellitic (Tri), hemimellitic (Hemi) and pyromellitic ...
Novel controlled synthesis of nanoporous carbon nanorods from resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
A novel approach is discovered to produce carbon nanorods (CNRs) from resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels. The structure and morphology of CNRs are characterized by pore size analysis, nano-scanning electron microscopy, ...
