Investigation of the effect of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite dispersions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The influence of surface charge type and density, and molecular weight of cationic, anionic and amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) on the electrokinetics, adsorption and flocculation behavior of highly stable bentonite ...
Adsorption of CO2 on Cu/SiO2 nano-catalyst: Experimental and theoretical study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Copper-based silica is a promising catalyst for several reaction pathways for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons. The activity of this catalyst in terms of conversion and product selectivity is affected by CO2 adsorption, ...
A robust fuzzy logic-based model for predicting the critical total drawdown in sand production in oil and gas wells
(
Public Library of Science
, 2021 , Article)
Sand management is essential for enhancing the production in oil and gas reservoirs. The critical total drawdown (CTD) is used as a reliable indicator of the onset of sand production; hence, its accurate prediction is very ...
Improving the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells by TiO2-graphene nanocomposite photoanode
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanocomposite photoanodes were prepared by addition of graphene (GR) micro-platelets to TiO2 nanoparticulate paste. TiO2/graphene based DSSCs were fabricated using Z907 photosensitizer. Transmission electron microscope was ...
Density-Functional Theory Investigation of Barite Scale Inhibition Using Phosphonate and Carboxyl-Based Inhibitors
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Scale deposition is a critical issue in oil and gas exploration and production processes, causing significant blocking in tubing and consequently flow assurance and economic losses. Most studies addressing the scale formation ...
Impact of clays on CO2 adsorption and enhanced gas recovery in sandstone reservoirs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Carbon dioxide enhanced gas recovery (EGR) is a promising technique to sequester CO2 and boost natural gas recovery from conventional depleted and unconventional tight gas reservoirs. Clay minerals are usually present in ...
Electrochemical removal of pyrite scale using green formulations
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Pyrite scale formation is a critical problem in the hydrocarbon production industry; it affects the flow of hydrocarbon within the reservoir and the surface facilities. Treatments with inorganic acids, such as HCl, results ...
Synthesis and evaluation of a novel polyacrylamide functionalized nano-silica as a calcium carbonate inhibitor in upstream applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Calcium carbonate scale forms in production and injection wells, precipitating upon pressure and temperature changes, incompatible water mixing, and dehydration. Production shutdown is one of the most dramatic consequences ...
A study on stability of active layer of polymer solar cells: effect of UV–visible light with different conditions
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
The objective of this study is to investigate the stability of the active layer of polymer solar cells from the effect of UV–visible light irradiation using different conditions with respect to time. The active layers were ...
BET, FTIR, and RAMAN characterizations of activated carbon from waste oil fly ash
(
TUBITAK
, 2020 , Article)
Activated carbon (AC), a porous material with high pore volume, attracts increasing attention owing to
its potential applications in several fields. The development of a porous structure in AC marginally relies on both
the ...
