A Novel Global Warming Solution: Use of Flue Gas to Produce Urea
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Urea is a nitrogenous organic compound which is widely used as a fertilizer and in the agricultural industry. On an industrial scale, urea can be manufactured from the reaction of carbon dioxide and ammonia. The goal of ...
A comprehensive approach for modeling sorption of lead and cobalt ions through fish scales as an adsorbent
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2006-07)
Removal of lead and cobalt cations from both industrial and municipal water is of extreme importance for waste water disposal standards. Using fish scales as an adsorbent, 95% of the lead cations and 70% of the cobalt ions ...
Numerical and experimental modeling of viscous fingering during liquid–liquid miscible displacement
(Elsevier, 2000-05)
Viscous fingering takes place when the viscous forces of a displacing phase has greater momentum than that of the displaced phase. Viscous fingering is an extremely important phenomenon in many applications of enhanced oil ...
Use of thermophilic bacteria for bioremediation of petroleum contaminants
(Taylor and Francis, 1999)
Several strains of thermophilic bacteria were isolated from the environment of the United Arab Emirates. These bacteria show extraordinary resistance to heat and have their maximum growth rate around 60 80 C. This article ...
Integrated management of radioactive strontium contamination in aqueous stream systems
(Academic Press, 2001-01)
A combination of biomass treatment, fluidized bed/membrane reactor, and a minimum-suspension fluidized bed reactor is proposed to remove strontium cations from aqueous solutions, such as those generated by nuclear reactors. ...
Uptake of heavy metals by microorganisms: an experimental approach
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2005-10)
Contamination in drinking water is the most common form of environmental problems encountered in water resources management. Some contaminants, present accidentally in drinking water, are very difficult to remove, such as ...
Effect of Temperature on Biodegradation of Crude Oil
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2005)
An active strain of anaerobic thermophilic bacteria was isolated from the environment of the United Arab Emirates. This project studied the effect of temperature, salinity and oil concentration on biodegradation of crude ...
Oil spill cleanup using vacuum technique
(Elsevier, 2003-06)
A vacuum technique is established for oil spill cleanup. It consists of environmental tank, oil-collecting unit, vacuum system, and air distributors. The vacuum technique is found very effective under all possible operating ...
Project of increasing oil recovery from UAE reservoirs using bacteria flooding
(OnePetro, 1999-10)
Due to the recent decline in oil prices, most of the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes, and especially the ones typically recommended for light crude such as micelles, polymer, or miscible gas injection processes have ...
Bioremediation of crude oil contaminated soils: A black art or an engineering challenge?
(Elsevier, 2005-10)
A bioremediation of crude oil contaminated soils study was carried out in engineered laboratory biopile systems. In soil bioremediation, biopiles are ‘ex situ’ treatment systems that consist of excavated and aerated ...
