Surface microenvironment engineering of black V₂O₅ nanostructures for visible light photodegradation of methylene blue by Ahmed Badreldin (9574341)

“…The optimized bV₂O₅ sample yielded 92% photodegradation of 20 mg/L cationic methylene blue (MB) in 60 min under visible light irradiation – corresponding to a 58-fold increase in photodegradation efficiency over pristine V₂O₅. …”

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. …”
