Development of eco-friendly chitosan-g-polyacrylamide preformed particle gel for conformance control in high-temperature and high-salinity reservoirs
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Oil and gas extraction has become challenging nowadays due to the accompanying amount of excess produced water that results in poor recoverability of hydrocarbon, besides other environmental and economic isues. A recent ... -
Biodegradable polysaccharide grafted polyacrylamide inhibitor for corrosion in CO2- saturated saline solution
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)A biodegradable polysaccharide-based inhibitor is grafted with polyacrylamide (PAM) for oilfields’ sweet corrosion. The green properties of agar and PAM were incorporated to synthesize an agar-grafted-PAM (AGGPAM) inhibitor. ... -
Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to value-added products using Cu-based catalytic materials
( Institute of Physics , 2023 , Conference)In this work, we report on the synthesis and evaluation of catalytic materials composed of copper/calcium oxide/alumina (Cu/CaO/Al2O3) for carbon dioxide conversion to value-added products. Catalytic materials were synthesized ... -
Synthesis and evaluation of novel and efficient Ni-based dual functional materials (DFMs) for integrated CO2 capture and hydrogenation
( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2023 , Article)We report on the synthesis and evaluation of novel, highly active and stable bimetallic DFMs for simultaneous CO2 adsorption and subsequent hydrogenation to value added products. The DFMs contain various combinations of ... -
Hydrogen storage in gas reservoirs: A molecular modeling and experimental investigation
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Hydrogen is one of the clean energy sources that can be used instead of fossil fuel sources to reduce greenhouse emissions. However, hydrogen supply intermittency significantly reduces the deployment and reliability of ... -
Polyolefin-Based Smart Self-Healing Composite Coatings Modified with Calcium Carbonate and Sodium Alginate.
( MDPI , 2024 , Article)Corrosion-related damage incurs significant capital costs in many industries. In this study, an anti-corrosive pigment was synthesized by modifying calcium carbonate with sodium alginate (SA), and smart self-healing coatings ... -
Association Between Periodontitis and COVID-19
