Enhanced Fouling Resistance and Antibacterial Properties of Novel Graphene Oxide-Arabic Gum Polyethersulfone Membranes by Ahmad Najjar (18174142)

“…The results showed that the novel PES/GO membranes possessed strong hydrophilicity and negative surface charge with an increase in porosity, pore size and water flux. The PES/GO membranes exhibited superior antibacterial action against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species, implicating PES membranes which incorporate GO and AG as novel membranes that are capable of high antibiofouling properties with high flux.…”

Polysulfone/halloysite composite membranes with low fouling properties and enhanced compaction resistance by Nagla Kamal (17092960)

“…Membrane characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the composite membranes showed notable changes in the morphology, roughness, and distribution of Hal within the membrane matrix. SEM images, pore size, and porosity estimations indicated that the incorporation of low to medium Hal loadings resulted in PSF/Hal membranes with smaller surface pore size, lower porosity, and thicker top skin layer due to the strong interfacial interactions between Hal and PSF matrix. …”

Treatment of high salinity solutions: Application of air gap membrane distillation by Alkhudhiri, Abdullah

“…Permeate fluxes are measured for different feed concentrations and membrane pore sizes (0.2 and 0.45 μm). The flux declines as the concentration of salt increases, and increases as the pore size increases. …”

Influence of natural gas composition on adsorption in calcite Nanopores: A DFT study by Elkhansa Elbashier (14152815)

“…The results of the simulation calculations showed that as the nanopore diameter decreases, the adsorption energy increases exponentially due to the geometry of the smallest pore that increases the affinity of the molecules to the surface. …”

Reduced graphene aerogels as energy efficient selective oil sorbents by Junaid Saleem (14670322)

“…The presence of H₂ significantly decreased the oxygen-containing functional groups in graphene aerogel. The increase in the C/O ratio results in higher uptake capacity due to higher surface area and pore volume. …”

Investigating the Fate of Tetracycline in an Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor and Its Effects on Antibiotic Resistance Gene Proliferation from Different Membrane Types by Zeeb, Reem

“…The contribution of adsorption of tetracycline to the biofilm layer developed on each of the three membranes to removal was negligible. For ARGs, an increase in the abundance of tet-associated iARGs, with variation depending on the membrane pore size, was detected in the effluent, in opposition to tet-associated eARGs and non-tet ARGs which did not show an interpretable response to tetracycline.…”
