An analysis of atmospheric pollutants concentration in urban area in Greece
Triantafyllou, AG; Patra, A; Zuburtikudis, Ioannis; ETAL. (2001-07)In this study continuous concentration measurements of atmospheric pollutants for a 3 year period are analyzed. These measurements have been carried out in the central area of Kozani (down town Kozani), the largest city ... -
Brine management in desalination industry: From waste to resources generation
Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Chabib, Chahd M; Mustafa, Ibrahim; Ghaferi, Amal Al; ETAL. (Elsevier, 2019-12)Desalination brine has high salinity and contains various chemical contaminants and its disposal causes a major concern for desalination around the world. Environmentally friendly and economically feasible methods are ... -
Comparative antimicrobial activities of wild and cultivated varieties of Olea European different leaves extracts in Pakistan
Ahmad, Waqar; Khan, Hamayun; Siddique, Muhammad; ETAL. (Academy for Environment and Life Sciences, India, 2020)This research aims to find out the antimicrobial activities of the extracts of wild and cultivated varieties of Olive plants were screened for their antimicrobial activities against nine bacterial strains (six gram-positive, ... -
Fabrication of blend polyvinylidene fluoride/chitosan membranes for enhanced flux and fouling resistance
Baeza Elizalde, Cynthia Noemi; Gharabl, Samer Al; Kujawa, Joanna; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; ETAL. (Elsevier, 2018-01)The fabrication of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes was studied using chitosan as a hydrophilic additive for flux enhancement and stability. Chitosan (CS) was blended with PVDF at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5% (w/w) ... -
Leaching of PVP from PVDF/PVP blend membranes: Impacts on membrane structure and fouling in membrane bioreactors
Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Bilad, Muhammad R; Giwa, Adewale; Hasan, Shadi W; ETAL. (Springer US, 2016-05)Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are widely used in membrane industry, especially for membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Many PVDF membranes contain residual polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) that acts as a pore-forming additive. ... -
Photocatalytic hollow fiber membranes for the degradation of pharmaceutical compounds in wastewater
Chakraborty, Sudip; Loutatidou, Savvina; i Palmisano, Giovann; Kujawa, Joanna; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; ETAL. (Elsevier, 2017-10)In this research, the degradation by heterogeneous photocatalysis of organic pharmaceutical waste compounds using TiO2 nanoparticles immobilized on polymeric commercial hollow fiber (HF) ultrafiltration membranes was ... -
Reversing membrane wetting in membrane distillation: comparing dryout to backwashing with pressurized air
Warsinger, David M; Servi, Amelia; Connors, Grace B; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; ETAL. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)The critical failure mode for membrane distillation (MD) desalination is wetting through the pores of the hydrophobic membrane, which allows the saline solution to leak through and contaminate the permeate. The standard ... -
Shrinkage, defect and membrane distillation performance of composite PVDF membranes
Bilad, Muhammad R; Burrieza, E Guillen; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Marzooqi, Faisal A Al; ETAL. (Elsevier, 2015-11)This study addresses the importance of non-woven support (NWS) during the preparation of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes for membrane distillation (MD). Five different NWSs were investigated as substrate materials ... -
Super-Hydrophobic Polymer/Nanoparticle Composites For The Protection Of Marble Monuments
Manoudis, P.; Tsakalo, A.; Zuburtikudis, Ioannis; ETAL. (2008-04)Water contributes substantially to the degradation of monuments through freezing and thawing cycles and also because it is a carrier of pollutants and salt solutions. Water repellency can be promoted by the application of ...
