Occurrence and removal characteristics of phthalate esters from bottled drinking water using silver modified roasted date pits by Fedae A. Alhaddad (14152161)

“…Different physical and chemical characterizations were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, pore radius, and pore volume.</p> <h2>Results</h2> <p>The results indicated that the most abundant phthalate esters were DMP followed by DEP under 30 °C; however, DNOP was not detected in any of the tested water samples, except for one sample under 30 °C with a concentration of 0.031 μg/mL. …”

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

Development of eco-friendly coating for the fabrication of high performing loose nanofiltration membranes for dye-contaminated wastewater treatment by Abedalkader Alkhouzaam (15842647)

“…This is further evidenced by SEM, MWCO, and contact angle measurements, which reveal decreased pore size and increased hydrophilicity. The TA/PVA-coated membranes demonstrated high water permeability up to 138 LMH/bar and excellent dye/salt selectivity, achieving ~99 % Congo Red (CR) rejection with <10 % salt rejection in both single-component and dye/salt mixture filtrations. …”

Enhancing the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel under aggressive operational conditions using behentrimonium chloride by A. Bahgat Radwan (9631720)

“…Herein, the inhibition efficiency of a new corrosion inhibitor, behentrimonium chloride (BTC, C25H54ClN), is explored in a simulated-concrete pore solution (SCP) with 3.5 wt.% NaCl at different pH using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization methods. …”

Performance and analysis of kappa-carrageenan hydrogel for PFOA-contaminated soil remediation wastewater treatment by Alsaka, Lilyan

“…Experiments also evaluated the impact of feed pH, PFOA concentration, hydrogel composition, and hydrogel thickness on its performance. Due to pore size shrinkage, the AC-kC and V-kC hydrogels achieved the highest PFOA rejection at pH 4, whereas the water flux decreased. …”
