Electrostatic phase separation: A review
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article Review)
The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids following the last review on the topic some 15 ...
Rheological characterization of NA2CO3 activated calcium bentonite for oil and gas drilling applications
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Calcium bentonite was activated with soda ash (Na2CO3) at various ratios and due to the ion exchange; the original Ca-bentonite was converted to Na-bentonite. It was found that the Na2CO3 activation improves the swelling ...
Synthesis and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol): Cloisite 20A nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Polymeric nanocomposite materials are very important materials because of their promised applications. However, many of their fundamental physical, mechanical, and chemical behaviors have not been quantified. Depending on ...
Optimization of selection of chain amine scrubbers for CO2 capture
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
In order to optimize the selection of a suitable amine molecule for CO2 scrubbers, a series of ab initio calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. Diethylenetriamine was used as a simple chain ...
Demulsification of stable emulsions from produced water using a phase separator with inclined parallel arc coalescing plates
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with a series of inclined multiple arc coalescence plates is developed and optimized for the removal of stable oil emulsions from produced water. The synthetic high ...
Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of drops of relatively uniform size is injected ...
