A sustainable approach to synthesize phosphonated chitosan using ball milling and its application for oilfield scale management
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2022 , Article)For many years, the oil and gas industry has strived to develop environmentally friendly organophosphorus-based scale inhibitors. The natural polymer chitosan has recently gained significant importance for various upstream ... -
Evaluating the ecotoxicity of polymer-coated SPIONs for scale inhibition using a zebrafish embryo model
( Elsevier , 2026 , Article)Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are increasingly explored as sustainable scale inhibitors in oilfield operations, offering high efficiency, magnetic recoverability, and reduced chemical discharge. This ... -
Flexible, Linear, and Systematically Expanded Tetraphosphonate Bolaamphiphiles and Their Inhibition Performance against Calcite and Barite Scale Formation
( American Chemical Society , 2023 , Article)Oilfield scaling is one of the most prevalent water-based oilfield production problems. Chemical inhibitors are often used to combat and prevent scale deposition. The phosphonate functional group is commonly used in many ... -
Phosphonated Lower-Molecular-Weight Polyethyleneimines as Oilfield Scale Inhibitors: An Experimental and Theoretical Study
( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)For many years, amino methylenephosphonate (-CH2-N-PO3H2)-based scale inhibitors (SIs) have been deployed for preventing various scales in the oil and gas industry, particularly for squeeze treatment applications. However, ... -
Phosphonated Polyetheramine-Coated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Inhibition of Oilfield Scale
( American Chemical Society , 2023 , Article)Oilfield scale is one of the significant problems in hydrocarbon production in the oil and gas industry. Many research groups have attempted to develop greener chemicals to meet environmental regulations. Magnetic nanoparticles ...
