Journal ArticleDOI
A review on ionic liquids as perspective catalysts in transesterification of different feedstock oil into biodiesel
Zahoor Ullah,Amir Sada Khan,Amir Sada Khan,Nawshad Muhammad,Riaz Ullah,Ali S. Alqahtani,Syed Nasir Shah,Ouahid Ben Ghanem,Mohamad Azmi Bustam,Zakaria Man +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the transesterification of fatty acid with ionic liquids, cost and recycling of ILs, the effects of adding enzyme, Lewis acids and amines on ILs catalysed reaction, the use of Bronsted acidic, basic and dicationic basic ILs as the sole solvent which supported acid/base-catalysed IL for biodiesel synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of imidazolium-based ionic liquids on bacterial growth inhibition investigated via experimental and QSAR modelling studies.
Ouahid Ben Ghanem,M.I. Abdul Mutalib,Mohanad El-Harbawi,Girma Gonfa,Chong Fai Kait,Noorjahan Banu Alitheen,Jean-Marc Lévêque +6 more
TL;DR: This work synthesized several sets of imidazolium-based ionic liquids, and their toxicities were assessed towards four human pathogens bacteria to investigate how tunability can affect this characteristic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanofluid enhanced oil recovery using induced ZnO nanocrystals by electromagnetic energy: Viscosity increment
Mohamad Sahban Alnarabiji,Noorhana Yahya,Saad Nadeem,Muhammad Adil,Mirza Khurram Baig,Ouahid Ben Ghanem,K H Azizi,Shehzad Ahmed,Belladonna Maulianda,Jiří Jaromír Klemeš,Khaled Abdalla Elraies +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of the combination of zinc oxide nanocrystals (ZnO-NCs) with EM energy irradiation on the recovery efficiency of enhanced oil recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of QSAR model to predict the ecotoxicity of Vibrio fischeri using COSMO-RS descriptors
TL;DR: σ-profile descriptors were used to build linear and non-linear QSAR models to predict the ecotoxicities of a wide variety of ILs towards bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of valuable chemicals from sustainable rice husk waste using ultrasonic assisted ionic liquids technology
Zahoor Ullah,Zakaria Man,Amir Sada Khan,Amir Sada Khan,Nawshad Muhammad,Hamayoun Mahmood,Ouahid Ben Ghanem,Pervaiz Ahmad,Mansoor-Ul Hassan Shah,Mamoon-Ur-Rashid,Muhammad Raheel +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two ionic liquids mono-and di-cationic were synthesized and compared for the processing of rice husk biomass using probe sonication assisted ionic liquid treatment being time effective and environmental benign was utilized for conversion of such waste residue into valuable products.
