Progressive development in 
solid desiccant cooling: A 
review 
In this paper review, the solid and liquid desiccant cooling 
systems were discussed in terms of their progressive de-
velopment and working principle.

Recent developments in solid 
desiccant coated heat ex-
changers 
In this paper, the advantages of desiccant coated heat ex-
changers (DCHEs) over other dehumidifiers are established,
and a comprehensive review of various desiccant materials 
and binders used in DCHEs was carried out.

Activated alumina prepara-
tion and characterisation: The
review on recent advance-
ment 
Activated alumina particles (AAP), synthesised electro-
chemically from aluminium, are an inexpensive material 
that can be used for water filtration due to its active surface.

Rational design, synthesis, 
adsorption principles and 
applications of metal oxide 
adsorbents: a review 
This review discussed the adsorption properties of several 
typical metal oxides and key parameters affecting adsorp-
tion performance and their applications for removing vari-
ous inorganic and organic contaminants.

Applications of aluminium 
oxide and nano aluminium 
oxide as adsorbents: review 
The aim of this review was to clarify the role of aluminium 
oxide and nano aluminium oxide in removing some chem-
icals contaminants that influence human health, such as 
dyes, antibiotics and heavy metals.
