Improving biogas production from agricultural waste by photo-Fenton process
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The Study investigates the enhancement of biogas production from a mixture of agricultural solid waste, wastewater and manure by Photo-Fenton prices process. The effect of the total solids, organic content, nutrient and ...
Solar Energy Storage via Thermochemical Metal Oxide/Metal Sulfate Water Splitting Cycle
(
Materials Research Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the effect of Ar molar flow-rate on thermodynamic efficiency analysis of zinc oxide-zinc sulfate (ZnS-ZnO) water splitting cycle useful for solar H2 production. The thermodynamic efficiency analysis is ...
Comparison between multi-stage and single stage microalgae dewatering processes
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The present work shows a quick, simple and accurate method for algae harvesting with a potential to relate the required polymer dose with in-situ hydrodynamics properties of alga solution. The method also reduces the lag ...
Assessment of carbon bio-fixation by mixed indigenous microalgae
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study assesses the potential use of mixed Indigenous Microalgae (MIMA) for carbon capture from flue gases in a photo-bioreactor. The effect of inlet CO2 concentration on the carbon biofixation rate was investigated. ...

Sustained solar fuel production in multiple thermochemical cycles using sol-gel derived ferrite nanopowders
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the sol-gel synthesis of Mg-doped Niferrite i.e. Ni-Mg-ferrite was attempted by using propylene oxide (PO) as a proton scvanger. Effects of two important synthesis paramaters such as amount of PO added during ...
Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Current desalination techniques are typically very energy intensive: energy consumption can account for up to 70% of the desalination costs. To improve economics of water desalination plants innovative energy efficient, ...
Solar reactor efficiency analysis for alternative fuel production via ferrite based two-step thermochemical splitting of water and CO2
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper computational thermodynamic modeling of solar syngas production via ferrite based (Fe3 O4 /FeO) thermochemical H2O and/or CO2 splitting cycle. This two-step cycle involves solar thermal reduction of Fe3O4 ...
Computational thermodynamic analysis of solar fuel production via metal oxide based H2O and CO2 splitting thermochemical cycles
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper thermodynamic feasibility of the production of solar fuel via SnO2/SnO based thermochemical CO2 splitting redox reactions was investigated. The first step is the thermal dissociation of SnO2 into SnO where ...
Study of reaction mechanism in solution combustion synthesis of transition metals
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate the reaction mechanism followed during the solution combustion synthesis of transition metals (Cu, Ni and Co) and their alloys. Metal nitrates were mixed with a choice of fuel (glycine, and ...
