Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
In the present study, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB), using TiO2-Ag synthesized by sol-gel method, as a catalyst under UV light, was studied. The samples synthesized were characterized by SEM, EDAX, FTIR, XRD and TEM. The average size of the particles was 10 nm. Tests were...Read more

Functionalized iron oxide nanocomposite ultrafiltration membranes for water-in-oil emulsion separation
Wadi V., Ouda M., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Water treatment
Removal of emulsified water in oil (w/o) emulsions are the most challenging compared to free water and dissolved water emulsions. Emulsified w/o cannot be removed by conventional techniques such as settling tanks, oil skimmers, floatation and magnetic technologies. Membrane technology is a highly...Read more

Novel super-hydrophobic carbon nanotube-based nanomaterial for membrane distillation
Ouda M., Wadi V., Hai A., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Desalination
Membrane distillation (MD) is a low-grade heat-based emerging technology found viable for seawater desalination. Membrane properties such as high hydrophobicity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability are crucial in assessing the compatibility of a membrane for use in this application. In this...Read more

Investigation of the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron for the removal of emerging contaminants from water
(Corresponding) Panagou I., Noutsopoulos C., Barka E., Mystrioti C., Koumaki E., Mamais D., Papassiopi N., Malamis S.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Nano Zero Valent Iron (nZVI) is considered as a promising nanomaterial for the removal of a wide range of recalcitrant pollutants from contaminated water and soil. Due to its high reactivity, large surface area, its catalytic and reductive properties along with the ability to be produced at low...Read more

Assessing the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron in column experiments for the removal of NSAIDs from water
(Corresponding) Panagou I., Kalli M., Noutsopoulos C., Mamais D., Koumaki E., Malamis S.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The existence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment is globally a major concern. Among them, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a vast category of pharmaceuticals that are widely consumed and cannot be completely removed in typical wastewater treatment systems, thus...Read more
