An integrated approach for produced water treatment using microemulsions modified activated carbon
Al-Kaabi M.A.; Al-Ghouti M.A.; Ashfaq M.Y.M.; Ahmed T.; Zouari N. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)In this study, the physical and chemical characterization of produced water was done followed by treatment through sand filtration coupled with activated carbon microemulsion modified activated carbon techniques. The results ... -
Application of MALDI-TOF MS for identification of environmental bacteria: A review
Ashfaq M.Y.; Da'na D.A.; Al-Ghouti M.A. ( Academic Press , 2022 , Article)Bacteria play a variety of roles in the environment. They maintain the balance in the ecosystem and provide different ecosystem services such as in biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, biodegradation of toxic pollutants, ... -
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid to control biofouling and mineral scaling
Ashfaq M.Y.; Al-Ghouti M.A.; Zouari N. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)The polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was modified with graphene oxide (GO), followed by polymerization of acrylic acid (used as an antiscalant) for the reduction of both biofouling and mineral scaling. After ... -
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling
Ashfaq M.Y.; Al-Ghouti M.A.; Zouari N. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the membrane surface properties were improved as the ... -
Interaction of seawater microorganisms with scalants and antiscalants in reverse osmosis systems
Ashfaq M.Y.; Al-Ghouti M.A.; Al Disi Z.A.; Zouari N. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)In this research, the interactions of seawater microorganisms with scalants (minerals like calcium sulfate) and antiscalants in the reverse osmosis (RO) systems were investigated. The interaction of seawater microorganisms ... -
Rapid assessment of the impact of microwave heating coupled with UV-C radiation on the degradation of PAHs from contaminated soil using FTIR and multivariate analysis
Eldos H.I.; Ashfaq M.Y.; Al-Ghouti M.A. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)The presence and fate of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment are receiving a great concern. In this study, three oil-contaminated soils (industrial area, Dukhan city, and artificial soils) were utilized to ...
