Regulating Sovereign Wealth Funds to Avoid Investment Protectionism
(
Oxford Academic
, 2015 , Article)
Chinese and Emirati purchases of US companies have collapsed because of suspicions that their Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) status is a disguise for political ambitions. SWFs have grown in size and number, drawing the attention ...
Steel-Making dust as a potential adsorbent for the removal of lead (II) from an aqueous solution
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The presence of high concentrations of toxic heavy metals such as lead Pb(II) in water is a major hazard to human health and may have a detrimental effect on the aquatic life and the environment. Implementing an efficient ...
The cost benefit of algal technology for combined CO2 mitigation and nutrient abatement
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The use of microalgae culture technology (MCT) for mitigating CO2 emissions from flue gases and nutrient discharges from wastewater whilst generating a biofuel product is considered with reference to the cost benefit ...
Experimental determination of carbamate formation and amine protonation constants in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system and their temperature dependency
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The equilibrium constant for the formation of carbamate in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system was evaluated at different CO2 loadings, different temperature values, and different amine protonation constant. The studied ...
Electrochemical performance of Ti3C2Tx MXene in aqueous media: towards ultrasensitive H2O2 sensing
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
An extensive characterization of pristine and oxidized Ti3C2Tx (T: O, OH, F) MXene showed that exposure of MXene to an anodic potential in the aqueous solution oxidizes the nanomaterial forming TiO2 layer or TiO2 domains ...
Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of Cr-doped lithium-rich Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08-xCrxO2 cathodes
(
Springer Nature
, 2018 , Article)
Lithium-rich layer oxide, Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08O2 (NMC), is a potential cathode candidate for high-energy density batteries. Issues such as cycling stability, rate performance, and cost are yet to be overcome before ...
Optimized long-range corrected density functionals for electronic and optical properties of bare and ligated CdSe quantum dots
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
The reliable prediction of optical and fundamental gaps of finite size systems using density functional theory requires to account for the potential self-interaction error, which is notorious for degrading the description ...
Copper removal from industrial wastewater: A comprehensive review
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2017 , Article Review)
Copper is one of the most valuable and prevalent metals used in the industry. There are many techniques to treat different types of industrial wastewater that are contaminated with heavy metals such as copper. This article ...
Screening of surfactants and polymers for high temperature high salinity carbonate reservoirs
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Carbonate reservoirs typically exhibit significant heterogeneity, high temperature and high salinit ies. Surfactant and polymer selection for such reservoirs is a challenging process where extensive laboratory investigations ...
Rheology of a viscoelastic zwitterionic surfactant used in acid stimulation: Effects of surfactant and electrolyte concentration
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Acid diversion systems play an important role in increasing the efficiency of the acid stimulation process. Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) based diverting systems have many advantages that make them preferred for well acid ...
