Can mixed oxides act as efficient photocatalysts for the elimination of organic water pollutants?
(Corresponding) Favier L., Sescu A., (Corresponding) HARJA M., Siamer S., Lutic D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
New mixed-metal oxides containing zinc and lanthanum were prepared by coprecipitation. The synthesized nanocomposites were calcined, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, BET and DR analysis. The calcined sample showed a higher crystalinity, confirmed by...Read more
Incorporation of negatively charged MWCNT-fGO self-assembled nanomaterials into PLA polymeric membranes for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Khalil H., Nassar L., Wadi V., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The incorporation of nanomaterials in membrane’s matrix aims mainly to improve the properties of the membranes such as hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, water flux. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and functionalized graphene oxide (fGO) have recently attracted attention...Read more
Development of pH-Responsive Adsorptive Ultrafiltration Membrane for the treatment of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solution
Khamis F., Hegab h., Arafat h., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This research presents a new amino-modified activated carbon (MAC) nanohybrid and its use in polylactic acid (PLA) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes for treating wastewater. The MAC composite was produced through three steps: activated carbon pretreatment, modification, and heat-induced cross-linking...Read more

Synthesis of Two-Dimensional Nanomaterial Based Hybrid Membrane for Antibiotic Removal from Wastewater
AbuZaid M., Pandey R., Naddeo V., Banat F., Yousef A., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The presence of high concentrations of antibiotics in wastewater has paved the way for the development and spread of pathogens with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Coupled with the global water stress, this leads to adverse effects on both the environment and human health. Conventional wastewater...Read more
