Total Hg levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, and protein and lipid contents: A multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the mercury (Hg) levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, protein, and lipid contents in Qatar. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed ...
Uptake of Reactive Black 5 by pumice and walnut activated carbon: Chemistry and adsorption mechanisms
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The potential of using pumice and walnut wood activated carbon as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm fit to the data ...
A solid-phase extractant based on microemulsion modified date pits for toxic pollutants
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Application of microemulsion modified raw date pits as an inexpensive solid extractant for removing methylene blue (MB), copper ion (Cu2+) and cadmium ion (Cd2+) has been presented. The results summarised herein are also ...
Synthesis of nanostructured novel ion-imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu2+ and Sr2+ ions from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to ...
Investigating the effect of polymer-modified graphene oxide coating on RO membrane fouling
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ...

60 Years of the Loeb-Sourirajan Membrane: Principles, New Materials, Modelling, Characterization and Applications bring forth theoretical advances, novel characterization techniques, materials development, advanced treatment ...
Evaluation of processed sludge as a sustainable and efficient soil conditioner and organic fertiliser for Qatari soil
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2022 , Article)
Qatar is implementing the use of treated sludge as a sustainable resource in the green infrastructure. The study employed an experimental research design where five samples (two kilograms each) of pelletised sludge of both ...
Reverse osmosis membrane fouling and its physical, chemical, and biological characterization
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Book chapter)
Membrane fouling is caused by microorganisms and organic, inorganic, and colloidal substances that are present in the feedwater. It affects the performance of membranes in water treatment systems in terms of increase in ...
The recovery of strontium ions from seawater reverse osmosis brine using novel composite materials of ferrocyanides modified roasted date pits
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, three types of adsorbents were used to remove and recover strontium ions (Sr2+) from aqueous and brine solution of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), namely roasted date pits (RDP) and RDP modified using copper ...
