In Memoriam Richard Doggett

Fate broke Richard Doggett’s stride last Friday. He was just 72. Our thoughts go to his wife Chrissy and their children, Abbey, Polly, Gabrielle and Jacqui, to sons-in-law Shane and Rueben and to grandchildren Ned, Matilda and Will. Also, to the many friends Richard made over a life well lived.

Facile preparation of porous biomass charcoal from peanut shell as adsorbent.

Activated carbons derived from biomass have been proved to be one of the most promising adsorbents due to their abundance, low cost, reproducibility and environmental friendliness. In this study, a simple, facile and effective pyrolysis method was demonstrated to prepare hierarchical porous biomass charcoal by using peanut shells as precursor without chemical activation in an […]

Application of isolated halophilic microorganisms suspended and immobilized on walnut shell as biocarrier for treatment of oilfield produced water.

Salinity expressed as total dissolved solids (TDS), is the most challenging parameter in bioremediation of produced water which may inhibit the microbial activities and cause sedimentation problems. The present study explores the feasibility of using walnut shell as an inexpensive and accessible adsorbent-carrier for the immobilization of isolated halophilic microorganisms for treatment of synthetic oilfield […]
