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 ... -
Doubly dual nature of ammonium-based ionic liquids for methane hydrates probed by rocking-rig assembly
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)This work presents a systematic study of methane hydrate inhibition in the presence of five structurally variable ionic liquids (ILs) belonging to the ammonium family—viz., tetra-alkylammonium acetate (TMAA), choline ... -
Enhancing the flocculation of stable bentonite suspension using hybrid system of polyelectrolytes and NADES
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)In this study, the influence of a hybrid coagulation/flocculation process on the electrokinetic of highly stable bentonite suspension has been examined. Choline chloride (ChCl) based natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) ... -
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 ... -

Removal of emerging pharmaceuticals from wastewater by ozone-based advanced oxidation processes
( John Wiley and Sons Inc. , 2016 , Article)Thin-ply composites are currently receiving specific attention from researchers due to their capabilities to delay matrix cracking. In this paper, the aim is to design a hybrid laminate that contains both thin- and normal ... -
Solar syngas production via methanothermal reduction of strontium oxide
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)A solar methanothermal reduction of strontium oxide for the co-production of Sr and syngas is thermodynamically explored. The data required for the equilibrium and efficiency analysis is taken from a commercial HSC Chemistry ... -
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 ... -
Thermodynamic study of the effect of partial thermal reduction of dysprosium oxide on solar-to-fuel energy conversion efficiency
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)A thermodynamic equilibrium and efficiency analysis of the dysprosium oxide-based solar thermochemical H2O splitting (Dy-WS) cycle is conducted. The objective of this study is to understand the effect of partial thermal ...
