A theoretical study of gas adsorption on α-quartz (0 0 1) for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on the “dense” (0 0 1) surface of α-quartz has been investigated by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas ...
Gas Hydrate Prevention and Flow Assurance by Using Mixtures of Ionic Liquids and Synergent Compounds: Combined Kinetics and Thermodynamic Approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
The thermodynamic and kinetic hydrates inhibition effects of addition of synergents poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and vinyl caprolactum (VCAP) with ionic liquids 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium chloride [PMPy][Cl] and ...
Interfacial properties of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium glycinate ionic liquid regarding CO2, SO2 and water from molecular dynamics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The surface properties of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium glycinate ionic liquid, as a model of amino acid-based compounds, in contact with a vacuum, CO2, SO2 and flue gas phases are studied using molecular dynamics simulations. ...
Corrosion Behavior of Carbon Steel in CO2 Saturated Amine and Imidazolium-, Ammonium-, and Phosphonium-Based Ionic Liquid Solutions
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This work presents a recent investigation on corrosion behavior of carbon steel amine and ionic liquid based carbon dioxide absorbents. The first class focused on classical amine solutions: monoethanolamine (MEA), ...
Ionic liquid design for enhanced carbon dioxide capture - A computer aided molecular design approach
(
Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC
, 2014 , Article)
Greenhouse gases emission is known as the main factor of climate change, and carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up vast majority of them. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a vital technology to mitigate industrial CO2 emissions, ...
Measurements of laminar flame speeds of alternative gaseous fuel mixtures
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Global warming and the ever increasing emission levels of combustion engines have forced the engine manufacturers to look for alternative fuels for high engine performance and low emissions. Gaseous fuel mixtures such as ...
Computational study on oxynitride perovskites for CO2 photoreduction
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into chemical fuels is an attractive route for recycling this greenhouse gas. However, the large scale application of such approach is limited by the low selectivity and activity of the ...
Influence of natural gas composition on adsorption in calcite Nanopores: A DFT study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Density functional theory is used to study the adsorption of natural gas components in calcite (10.4) cylindrical nanopores with 1–4 nm diameters. The change of adsorption energy with the diameter of the nanopores is studied ...
Unveiling one-pot scalable fabrication of reusable carboxylated heterogeneous carbon-based catalysts from eucalyptus plant with the assistance of dry ice for selective hydrolysis of eucalyptus biomass
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Biomass is the most abundant source for organic carbon-based substances on the earth; however, its utilization as sources for heterogeneous catalysts for biorefineries is rarely reported. Herein, a simple approach was ...
Dry ice-mediated rational synthesis of edge-carboxylated crumpled graphene nanosheets for selective and prompt hydrolysis of cellulose and eucalyptus lignocellulose under ambient reaction conditions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Edge-selectively carboxylated graphene (ECG) crumpled nanosheets are of great importance in potential applications; however, their catalytic activity towards biomass hydrolysis is not yet highlighted. Herein, we rationally ...
