Evaluation of the Reaction Kinetics of Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid Chelating Agent and a Converter with Barium Sulfate (Barite) Using a Rotating Disk Apparatus
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Barium sulfate (barite) is a major oil and gas field scale formed inside the production equipment as well as in the reservoir. During drilling of oil and gas wells, barite serves as a weighting material in different drilling ...
Gelation of Emulsified Polyacrylamide/Polyethylenimine under High-Temperature, High-Salinity Conditions: Rheological Investigation
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Emulsified gels are proposed as a method of water shut-off in oil and gas reservoirs and are designed to separate into a water phase and an oil phase under reservoir conditions. A first of its kind rheological study on the ...

(
Institute for Ionics
, 2018 , Article)
Semi-transparent and conducting thin film of poly(aniline-co-m-fluoroaniline) has been synthesized by a conventional oxidative copolymerization method using an aqueous solution of aniline, m-fluoroanilne as the monomers ...
Effect of expandable graphite on thermal and flammability properties of poly(lactic acid)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) blend systems
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of expandable graphite (EG) on the flammability and thermal stability of a poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) blend was investigated. The samples were prepared by melt-mixing and characterized ...
Sustainable agriculture in the Arabian/Persian Gulf region utilizing marginal water resources: Making the best of a bad situation
(
MDPI AG

(
Springer International Publishing
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Removing of wastewater pollutants by novel adsorption techniques is urgent as they are continuously defiling the limited freshwater resources, seriously affecting the terrestrial, ecosystems, aquatic, and aerial flora and ...
The impact of mechanically-imposed shear on clogging, fouling and energy demand for an immersed membrane bioreactor
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
The impact of the application of mechanically-imposed shear on the propensity for fouling and clogging (or “sludging”—the agglomeration of sludge solids in the membrane channel) of an immersed flat sheet (iFS) membrane ...
