Large improvements in separations technology will require novel materials with enhanced properties and performance. The fundamental interlinks for success in merging synthesis and process incorporation are the structure, ...

This work describes newly synthesized composite polymeric membranes and their utilization in propane/propylene separation in a gas mixture. The nonporous composite polymers were successfully synthesized by using thermoplastic ...

In this work, three ionic liquids (ILs) from the bio-compatible family of choline cations attached to anions of varying hydrophobicity namely: choline acetate (ChOAc), choline bistriflamide (ChNtf2), and choline chloride ...

The thermodynamic inhibition (TI) and kinetic inhibition (KI) effect of pyrrolidinium based Ionic liquids (ILs) 1-Methyl-1-Propyl-pyrrolidinium Chloride [PM-Py][Cl] and 1-Methyl-1-Propyl-pyrrolidinium Triflate [PM-Py][Triflate] ...

A combined experimental-computational study on the CO2 absorption on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluophosphate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]imide, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ...

The formation of stable emulsions is a fundamental problem in oil industry that can result in a sequence of environmental and operational problems. Chemical demulsification is extensively applied for the recovery of oil ...

To develop an effective hydrate risk mitigation strategy for offshore flow assurance its essential to understand the effect of different water fractions on the rate of hydrate formation and study the effect of various water ...

Commonly described as ionic compounds that are fluid below 100 C, Ionic Liquids (ILs) have found its application in several fields of science and engineering. Formerly limited in its use for electrochemical purposes, ILs ...

The properties of aminoacid based ionic liquids are studied using classic molecular dynamic simulations. Ionic liquids comprising glycine, serine, alanine and phenyl alanine anions combined with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, ...

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 ...
