Pretreatment of raw feed water is an essential step for proper functioning a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant as it minimizes the risk membrane fouling. Conventional pretreatment methods have drawbacks, such potential biofouling, chemical consumption, and carryover. Non-conventional membrane-based technologies emerged promising alternatives. The present review focuses on recent advances in MF, UF, NF techniques that been shown to be effective preventing fouling well having low energy...
The treatment of methylene blue (MB) dye wastewater through the adsorption process has been a subject extensive research. However, comprehensive understanding thermodynamic aspects solution is lacking. Previous studies have primarily focused on enhancing capacity dye. This study aimed to develop an environmentally friendly and cost-effective method for treating gain insights into thermodynamics kinetics optimization. An adsorbent with selective capabilities was synthesized using rice straw...
Flash floods (FFs) are amongst the most devastating hazards in arid regions response to climate change and can cause loss of agricultural land, human lives infrastructure. One major challenges is high-intensity rainfall events affecting low-lying areas that vulnerable FF. Several works this field have been conducted using ensemble machine learning models geohydrological models. However, current advancement eXtreme deep learning, which named factorisation (xDeepFM), for FF susceptibility...
In pursuit of an efficient visible light driven photocatalyst for paracetamol degradation in wastewater, we have fabricated the ZnO/g-C
Meeting water demands is a critical pillar for sustaining normal human living standards, industry evolution and agricultural growth. The main obstacles developing countries in arid regions include unplanned urbanisation limited resources. Locating constructing dams strategic priority of to preserve store water. Recent advances remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS), machine learning (ML) techniques provide valuable tools producing dam site suitability map (DSSM). In this...
In the future, renewable energy technologies will have a significant role in catering to security concerns and safe environment. Among various sources available, biomass has high accessibility is considered carbon-neutral source. Pyrolysis technology thermo-chemical route for converting many useful products (biochar, bio-oil, combustible pyrolysis gases). The composition relative product yield depend on adopted. present review paper evaluates types of pyrolysis. Fast pyrolysis, slow advanced...
The reliable and efficient large-scale mapping of date palm trees from remotely sensed data is crucial for developing tree inventories, continuous monitoring, vulnerability assessments, environmental control, long-term management. Given the increasing availability UAV images with limited spectral information, high intra-class variance trees, variations in spatial resolutions data, differences image contexts backgrounds, accurate very-high resolution (VHSR) can be challenging. This study...
Biodiesel is a sustainable and green fuel with high potential for mitigating the adverse environmental impacts associated conventional fossil fuels. Since production of biodiesel complex process affected by many parameters, which can influence quality, cost, impact fuel, optimizing these factors crucial to facilitate commercialization reduce emissions. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) statistical approach that used optimize processes understand relation between their combined effect on...
This research describes the fabrication of porous trimethylamine (TMA)-grafted anion exchange membrane (AEM) over a phase inversion process. The synthesis generated AEM was verified using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. fabricated showed 240% water uptake (WR), 1.45 mg/g ion capacity (IEC), and 9.0% linear expansion ratio (LER) at 25 °C. It exhibited structure higher thermal stability. utilized to remove eosin B (EB) from wastewater via process adsorption. adsorption EB...
The increase in water demand and the scarcity of fresh arid regions have contributed to depletion groundwater.
