Exploring carbon dioxide sequestration in desalination reject brine via NaOH reaction: A kinetics study by Nafis Mahmud (14150004)

“…The effect of various operating parameters, such as the temperature, CO₂ concentration, NaOH dosage, brine salinity, CO₂ flowrates and inert particles volume percent were investigated by varying them within the range of 15–55 °C, 3–20 %, 6–16 g/L, 5–72 g/L, 1–5 L/min and 0–20%, respectively. The experimental data showed that the overall rate of CO₂ conversion is equal to the sum of the rates observed for Ca2+ and Mg²+ carbonation reactions and increases proportionally with the increase in CO₂ concentration. …”

Seasonal variations in feed-water chemistry and fouling dynamics of reverse-osmosis systems: A global climate lens by Nasser Zareei (22921226)

“…First, climate-specific seasonal fouling regimes are distinct and mechanistically predictable patterns: arid coasts (BWh) experience summer biofouling synergistically amplified by gypsum scaling; temperate systems (Cfa, Dwa) face winter organic fouling from recalcitrant humics despite reduced microbial activity; and tropical intakes (Aw, Am) endure monsoonal pulses that increase both colloidal fouling and dissolved organics by 5–100× relative to dry-season baselines. …”

Comparison of postoperative pain in children after maintenance anaesthesia with propofol or sevoflurane: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Bushra M. Abdallah (18560839)

“…Further, children in the sevoflurane group had higher odds of having higher pain scores (OR 3.18, 95% CI 1.83–5.53, I2=20.9%), and a 60% increase in the odds of requiring postoperative rescue analgesia compared with propofol (OR 1.60, 95% CI 0.89–2.88, I²=58.2%).…”
