An empirical determination of the whole-life cost of FO-based open-loop wastewater reclamation technologies
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Over the past 5–10 years it has become apparent that the significant energy benefit provided by forward osmosis (FO) for desalination arises only when direct recovery of the permeate product from the solution used to ... -
Application of geopolymers synthesized from incinerated municipal solid waste ashes for the removal of cationic dye from water
( Public Library of Science , 2020 , Article)In this study, municipal solid waste bottom ash (MSW-BA) and fly ash (MSW-FA) were used as a source of aluminosilicate to prepare geopolymer (GEO) adsorbents (GEO-MSWBA and GEO-MSWFA) for the removal of methylene blue (MB) ... -
Application of response surface methodology and box-behnken design for the optimization of the stability of fibrous dispersion used in drilling and completion operations
( American Chemical Society , 2021 , Article)Fibers are extensively used as a fluid additive in the oil and gas industry to improve hole-cleaning performance, control fluid filtration loss, and enhance hydraulic fracturing effectiveness. Generally, a small amount of ... -
Aqueous dispersions of carbon black and its hybrid with carbon nanofibers
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2018 , Article)The aqueous dispersions of a special type of carbon black (CB) in 1 M lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) electrolyte is mainly controlled by the affinity of the aqueous electrolyte towards the CB particles rather ... -
Assessing the relation between mud components and rheology for loss circulation prevention using polymeric gels: A machine learning approach
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)The traditional way to mitigate loss circulation in drilling operations is to use preventative and curative materials. However, it is difficult to quantify the amount of materials from every possible combination to produce ... -
Benchmarking the Self-Assembly of Surfactin Biosurfactant at the Liquid–Air Interface to those of Synthetic Surfactants
( Springer-Verlag , 2016 , Article)The adsorption of surfactin, a lipopeptide biosurfactant, at the liquid–air interface has been investigated in this work. The maximum adsorption density and the nature and the extent of lateral interaction between the ... -
Biological-Based Produced Water Treatment Using Microalgae: Challenges and Efficiency
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Produced water (PW) is the most significant waste stream generated in the oil and gas industries. The generated PW has the potential to be a useful water source rather than waste. While a variety of technologies can be ... -
Carbamate Formation and Amine Protonation Constants in 2-Amino-1-Butanol–CO2–H2O System and Their Temperature Dependences
( Springer New York LLC , 2018 , Article)The apparent protonation constant of an amino butanol (AB) and its carbamate formation constant in the CO2–H2O–AB system were determined at T = 298.15–328.15 K, and at various ionic strengths up to 0.2 mol·L−1 by potentiometric ... -
