(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Drilling fluid circulation loss is referred to as “the most severe problem in drilling of oil and gas wells”, as a routine solution, loss circulation materials are added to fill any fractures and vugs that may have been ...
Electrocoagulation treatment of reject brine effluent from Solvay process
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
Solvay process is an efficient treatment technique for reject brine from desalination, where salinity
is reduced by removing Na+
by adding NH3
. However, in this process large amounts of NH3
are
consumed and Cl–

Clay minerals damage quantification in sandstone rocks using core flooding and NMR
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Sandstone oil reservoirs consist of different clay minerals such as kaolinite, illite, and chlorite. These clay minerals highly affect the formation damage during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and well stimulation operations ...
Influence of polyelectrolyte architecture on the electrokinetics and dewaterability of industrial membrane bioreactor activated sludge
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
Improvement of sludge dewaterability is greatly hindered by the presence of large amounts of interstitial water molecules trapped in the sludge as a result of strong hydrophilic characteristics. This study has investigated ...
Immobilization of microbial cells for the biotreatment of wastewater: A review
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article Review)
Industrial wastewater often contains different complex impurities that are hazardous to the environment and human health, making wastewater treatment a necessity prior to its disposal. This review focuses on cell immobilization ...
Molecular Modeling Study toward Development of H2S-Free Removal of Iron Sulfide Scale from Oil and Gas Wells
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
A common problem that faces the oil and gas industry is the formation of iron sulfide scale in various stages of production. Recently an effective chemical formulation was proposed to remove all types of iron sulfide scales ...
Influence of modified clay on the structure and performance of polysulfocomposite membrane
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
Highly porous modified clay material with large surface area known as ?Filtralite? was used as a filler for the preparation of polysulfone (PSf) composite membranes. Filtralite concentration in the membrane composition was ...
Organically modified nanoclay filled thin-film nanocomposite membranes for reverse osmosis application
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study validates, for the first time, the effectiveness of two nanoclays, that is, cloisite (CS)-15A and montmorillonite (MNT) at the polyamide (PA) active layer in the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Cloisite-15A is ...
