Tailoring the deposition of MoSe₂ on TiO₂ nanorods arrays via radiofrequency magnetron sputtering for enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting by Yahia H. Ahmad (14340210)

“…The photoelectrochemical properties of the heterojunction were explored and optimized as a function of the thickness of the MoSe₂ layer, which was controlled by the sputtering time. The MoSe₂ grows perpendicularly on TiO₂ NRs in a 2D layered structure, maximizing the exposed active edges, an essential aspect that permits maximum exploitation of deposited MoSe₂. …”

An empirical correlation-based model to predict solid-fluid phase equilibria and phase separation of the ternary system CH₄-CO₂-H₂S by Hani Ababneh (9218272)

“…The main aim of this study is to develop an empirical correlation model based on Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EoS), with fugacity expressions, that is able for the first time to describe the solid-fluid phase equilibria for the ternary system of CH₄-CO₂-H₂S at pressures from 5 to 30 bar and over a wide range of temperature (130–200 K). …”

Application of Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO₂) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Wamda Faisal Elmobarak (17058024)

“…The MD was characterized using various analytical techniques (XRD, FTIR, TGA, TEM, VSM, etc.) and employed to recover oil from O/W emulsion, which were then regenerated and recycled several times. The effects of magnetic demulsifier dosage (MD_dose), the concentration of oil (C_oil), pH, the concentration of the surfactant (C_sur), and separation time (t_sep) on the demulsification efficiency (%_hdem), and the percentage of oil recovered (%R_oil) were evaluated. …”

Drying Studies of Purple Non-Sulphur Bacterial Biomass and Application as a Single-Cell Protein Feed for <i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i> by Asifa Anwar (20884229)

“…The Ameri model fitted the best in cases of 60℃ and 80℃ in all of the considered thickness of biomass, while the Midilli-Kucuk model performed better at 100℃ and 120℃ for the majority of the thicknesses (with the exception of Page model in case of 2 mm at 100℃ and 4 mm at 120℃) where temperature gradients across the biomass become more pronounced. The drying rate decreased with increasing thickness of the biomass film because more time and energy are required to remove moisture from the paste through the film to the surface. …”
