Performance evaluation of multistage adsorber design for mercury removal from produced water by Suboh, Siti Fatimah

“…Adsorption is the well-known process for mercury removal due to the fact that it has low operating cost, simplicity, high efficiency, potential of adsorbent regeneration, and sludge free process. The mercury removal in the multistage adsorber is preferable compared to single stage adsorber as the total cross-sectional area increases with increasing number of adsorber stages and thus increasing the mercury removal efficiency. …”

Thin film nanocomposite membrane incorporated with polymethyl metharcylate grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes for gas separation by Wong, Kar Chun

“…The performance enhancement of the TFN compared to the thin film composite counterpart was endowed by the addition of well-dispersed MWNTs that served as rapid diffusion channels and the formation defect-free skin. The optimum fillers loading is 0.25 g/L which gives TFN with CO2 permeance of 53.5 gas permeation unit (12% increment), CO2/nitrogen selectivity of 61.0 (1% increment) and CO2/methane selectivity of 35.2 (54% increment). …”
