Experimental investigation on the performance of binary carbon-based nano-enhanced inorganic phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications by Rajamony, Reji Kumar, Johnny Koh, Siaw Paw, Pasupuleti, Jagadeesh, Pandey, A. K., Chong, Tak Yaw, Sieh, Kiong Tiong, Yusaf, Talal, Mahendran, Samykano, Sofiah, A. G. N., Laghari, Imtiaz Ali, Ahmed, Oday A., K., Kadirgama

“…The binary nanoparticle-enhanced nanocomposites can form a decent thermal network, resulting in a remarkable enhancement in thermal conductivity by 160 % (1.2 W/mK) compared to pure salt hydrate. Moreover, a remarkable improvement in optical absorptance and a reduction in optical transmittance by 82.55 % for 0.7 wt% graphene and 0.07 wt% MWCNT enhanced salt hydrate PCM (SAHGrM-0.07) than pure salt hydrate PCM. …”

Complex coacervates loaded with nano enzymes as microreactor by Ng, Si Yi

“…Complex coacervates are predominantly driven by electrostatic forces and entropic changes and are affected by numerous parameters such as pH, mixing ratio and salt concentration. In this study, we aim to derive the optimum conditions for the complex coacervates of the Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC; IUPAC name, is a 1-hexadecylpyridinium chloride) and Carboxymethyl-dextran sodium salt (Dextran sodium salt, DSS), focusing on the optimum pH, mixing ratio and salt concentration. …”

Process economics and operating strategy for the energy-efficient reverse osmosis (EERO) process by Chong, Tzyy Haur, Krantz, William B.

“…To address problems encountered in a pilot-scale test of the EERO process, it develops an operating strategy involving boosting the pressure to the low salt-rejection stage of the CMCR to compensate for using membranes with a higher salt rejection than required. …”

Effect of varying SRT on inorganics retentate concentration in MDBR and its impact on bioprocess by Koh, Seok Han.

“…The main objectives of this study are to (i) investigate the correlation between accumulation rate of inorganic salts in the Membrane Distillation Bioreactor (MDBR) retentate and Sludge Retention Time (SRT) of 10 and 30 days, (ii) to determine the inhibitory effects of potential inhibitors on the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removal efficiency and specific biomass growth rate of the aerobic thermophiles by conducting batch tests and (iii) to determine whether inhibition by inorganic salt occurs in MDBR system.…”
