In order to counter the detrimental effect of chemicals on the environment, the academic and industry research interest have shifted towards “green” solvents. Ionic liquids (ILs) are salt-like compounds that, with few ...

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 ...

This work presents the characterization of hydrate-forming conditions of a Qatari natural gas-type mixture, QNG-S1, obtained using two different experimental methods, namely, a benchtop reactor and a gas hydrate autoclave. ...

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), ...

Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been introduced as potential carbon dioxide (CO2)-capturing solvents, as a substitute to conventional amine-based solvents. Conventional amine-based solvents that are used for CO2 capture ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained great interest recently to substitute volatile organic compounds (VOCs), since their properties can be tuned to match certain targets and applications. Further to this, another possibility ...

In this study, direct intercalation of three different green ionic liquids (ILs) having different salt and cation sizes into bentonite interlayer is investigated. The ILs covered in this study are: 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ...

The rheological behavior of a fluid is an important property that has a distinct impact on its flow conduct, which influence viscosity dependent phenomena and applications such as pumping, mass transfer rates, and ...

Beyond carbon allotropes, other nanostructures such as fullerene B80 are attracting a growing interest due to their potential applications. The use of new materials based on fullerene B80 is still in a premature stage; ...

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 ...
