Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contain a large number of components, and these components in turn require a large number of maintenance activities and high costs. In this paper, a Fuzzy-based Multi-Criteria Decision Support System (FBMCDS) model was designed based on the failure mode and effect analysis FM-EA and applied to the Rustumiya Proje...

: The aim of this work is the optimization of the operating conditions under which MCM41-mesoporous material can be incorporated into polyethersulfone (PES)/MCM-41 membranes for nanofiltration (NF) applications. MCM-41 mesoporous material mixed matrix PES membranes have the potential to reduce membrane fouling by organic dye molecules. Process opti...

This research presents the development of composite membranes incorporating MCM-41 mesoporous material which poses the potential to diminish membrane fouling by organic dyes molecules; a major problematic in leather tanning and textile industries. MCM41 mesoporous was successfully synthesised and incorporated into polyethersulfone (PES) via the cla...

Emulation liquid membrane (ELM) technology has recently garnered attention as an efficient alternative for separating pollutants, but it faces the problem of instability during the application, as well as emulsion breaking. With this in mind MgO, Al 2 O 3 , and three magnetic Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (of different sizes) were utilized to fabricate a...

The application of membrane technology to remove pollutant dyes in industrial wastewater is a significant development today. The modification of membranes to improve their properties has been shown to improve the permeation flux and removal efficiency of the membrane. Therefore, in this work, graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO-NPs) were used to modif...

This study investigated the impact of implanting TiO2-NPs within a membrane to minimize the influence of long-term operation on the membrane characteristics. Four poly vinyle chloride-titanium oxide (PVC-TiO2-NPs) membranes were prepared to create an ultrafiltration membrane (UF) that would effectively treat actual refinery wastewater. The hypothes...

Membrane engineering is currently classified as an eco-friendly cleaning technology in various fields, especially for wastewater treatment, and its use is increasing due to the growing interest in water environment protection and preservation. In this study, a new approach to improving membrane performance is proposed by using polyethersulfone (PES...

In the present study, treatment of hospital wastewater by processes based on different configurations , such as conventional activated carbon (CAS), University of Cape Town (UCT), and membrane bioreactor (MBR), was explored under the same operational conditions. The findings indicated that MBR was significantly more efficient than CAS and UCT in th...

Five types of Al-Fe pillared Iraqi clays have been selected depending on a natural clays regions (Anbar-Mosul-Basra-Baghdad-and Erbil) have been used in preparation it, and tested for catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) using phenol as target compound at different parameters (temperature, pressure, phenol loading, catalyst loading). The Al-Fe pillar...

The aim of this study, using five types of AL-Fe pillared Iraqi clay to study catalyst wet air oxidation to oxide phenol from synthesis's wastewater and study the limitation criteria in control of operating conditions. Two types of reactor (Batch and packed bed) used to study operation conditions and the best conditions result from Batch reactor wa...

A popularity café in Baghdad city was chosen to measure the dispersion of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) as examples of the Indoor Air Pollutants (IAPs) which are considered a significant environmental problem. The aims of this research were, firstly, to measure the variation of NO2 and CO concentrations; secondly, to examine the e...

A new Sponge-GAC-Sponge membrane module design for use in a membrane bioreactor (SGSMBR) is presented in this study. This work highlights an alternative MBR design in which a composite Sponge-Granular Activated Carbon-Sponge (SGS) layer is covered around the membrane module. The performance and membrane fouling of both the SGSMBR and a University o...

Some organic pollutant in aqueous wastewater inhabitant biological treatment, catalyst wet air oxidation is a method to treat this waste. Al-Fe pillared Iraqi clays with different Fe content were prepared. Aluminum was mixed with iron in different molar ratio Fe/Al (1:9- 2:8- 3:7- 4-6- 5:5) for each regions. These clays collected from different loc...
