Adsorption of an anionic surfactant at air-liquid and different solid-liquid interfaces from solutions containing high counter-ion concentration
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
The self-assembly (adsorption) of the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS), at air-liquid and different (octadecanethiol, β-mercaptoethanol, α-lipoic acid) solid-liquid interfaces from aqueous solutions ...
Petroleum refinery wastewater treatment: A pilot scale study
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A three-step pilot plant was designed, fabricated and tested for the treatment of highly contaminated petroleum refinery wastewater. The three-step process consisted of an electrocoagulation (EC) unit, a biological treatment ...
How the activation process modifies the hydrogen storage behavior of biomass-derived activated carbons
(
Springer US
, 2017 , Article)
Microporous activated carbons (ACs) derived from biomass residues, by virtue of their low-cost, good thermo-mechanical stability and easy adsorbent regeneration, are widely considered as hydrogen storage materials for ...
Self-assembly of a surfactin nanolayer at solid-liquid and air-liquid interfaces
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Surfactin, a sustainable and environmentally friendly surface active agent, is used as a model to study the adsorption of biosurfactants at hydrophobic and hydrophilic solid–liquid interfaces as well as the air–liquid ...
Kinetics of CO2 Adsorption/Desorption of Polyethyleneimine-Mesoporous Silica
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The kinetics of adsorption of CO2 on solid sorbents based on polyethyleneimine/mesoporous silica (PEI/MPS) was studied by following the mass gain during CO2 flow. Linear (PEI-423) and branched (PEI-10k) polymers were ...
Concurrent adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes from environmental water on amine functionalized carbon
(
IWA Publishing
, 2020 , Article)
Amine functionalized carbon (AFC) was synthesized from raw oil fly ash and later utilized it for simultaneous removal of methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) pollutant dyes from aqueous medium. AFC was analyzed through ...
Investigation of the effect of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite dispersions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The influence of surface charge type and density, and molecular weight of cationic, anionic and amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) on the electrokinetics, adsorption and flocculation behavior of highly stable bentonite ...
Carbon dioxide EGR and sequestration in mature and immature shale: Adsorption study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Recently, CO2 sequestration in different shale formations has become an attractive option owing to the abundance of shale basins. However, these formations have different maturity levels and contain a variety of minerals ...
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on calcite for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on calcite (104) has been studied by means of Density Functional Theory for molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) CO2 injection. Results show ...
Effect of surface morphology on methane interaction with calcite: a DFT study
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Natural gas, consisting primarily of methane, is found in carbonate reservoirs of which calcite is major component. However, the complexity and heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs remain a major challenge in estimating ...
