CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol: A Techno-Economic Analysis

, Qatar University, QA

Different efforts have been done to mitigate CO2 emissions in the industry in the last decades that involve CO2 capture and storage and/or CO2 capture and utilization techniques. In fact, the advantage of CO2 utilization [...]

Novel pretreatment strategies of algal biomass for the production of bioethanol

, Qatar University, QA

Bioethanol is a liquid biofuel that is sustainable and environmentally friendly [19]. However, the production and commercialization of bioethanol is primarily focused on first-generation food crops such as sugarcane, maize and beet, which can lead [...]

Kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of CO2 adsorption-desorption on polyethyleneimine – mesoporous silica

Khader M.M., Al-Marri M.J., Kuti Y.O., Giannelis E.P., Qatar University, QA

This study combines measurements of the kinetics and thermodynamics of carbon dioxide adsorption-desorption on polyethylene mesoporous silica (PEI/MPS) in the temperature range from 45 to 85℃. The study was performed on two CO2 solid sorbents: [...]

Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination

Glushenkov M., Bhosale R., Kumar A., AlMomani F., Kronberg A., Qatar University, QA

Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most widely employed technologies for water desalination. A drawback of this technology is high consumption of electricity by electric motors used for high-pressure water pumping. Energy consumption can [...]

The Effect of Intermediate Ozonation Process on Improving Biogas Production from Co-Digestion of Agricultural Waste and Manure

AlMomani F., Bhosale R., Kumar A., Qatar University, QA

Millions tons of solid waste (SW) are generated from agricultural, municipal, and industrial sources every year. The amounts of SW are expected to increase exponentially in the coming decades, due to the growth of the [...]
