Hydrophobic PVDF membrane via two-stage soft coagulation bath system for membrane gas absorption of CO2
(Elsevier B. V., 2013-01-15)Hydrophobic PVDF membranes have been prepared through a two-stage/dual soft coagulation bath system. The prepared membranes exhibited improved hydrophobicity properties, where the contact angle values were increased, with ... -
The influences of tor as a compatibilizer on cure characteristic and morphological properties of SBR/CRr blends
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)Cure characteristics and morphological studies were performed to determine the influences of TOR as a compatibilizer of styrene butadiene rubber/recycled chloroprene rubber (SBR/CRr) Blends. Both uncompatibilised and ... -
Ionic liquids: Green solvent for pretreatment of lingnocellulosic biomass
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Green technology has become the primary concern of nations around the world. In-line with this concern, lignocellulosic biomass is often advocated as significant starting material for a greener production. However, the ... -
Leaf water status, proline content, lipid peroxidation and accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in salinized Chinese kale (Brassica alboglabra)
(WFL Publisher Ltd., 2012)In responding to stress, plant cells may secrete compatible compounds and at the time demonstrate an increase in others which would reflect the status of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacity of plants under ... -
Membrane crystallization for the recovery of a pharmaceutical compound from waste streams
(Elsevier, 2014-02)The recovery of the active pharmaceutical compound 1-(5-bromo-fur-2-il)-2-bromo-2-nitroethane (denoted as G-1) in a crystalline form from waste aqueous solutions using membrane crystallization is addressed in this work. ... -
Mineralization of diazo dye (Reactive Black 5) in wastewater using recirculated up-flow constructed wetland reactor
(Desalination Publications, 2012)Application of a sequential anaerobic and aerobic process in a constructed wetland can enhance the treatment performance of textile wastewater. In this study, two laboratory-scale recirculated up-flow constructed wetland ... -
Mineralization of Methyl Orange-containing wastewater by integrated anaerobic and aerobic processes using spent granular activated carbon-biofilm under sequencing batch reactor operation
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Mineralization of azo dye required combination of anaerobic and aerobic processes either in two stages or single stage of treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the treatment performance in the decolorization ... -
