Theoretical studies of methane adsorption on Silica-Kaolinite interface for shale reservoir application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Shale gas is mostly made up of methane and is currently being exploited in fulfilling the world's energy demands. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) techniques are employed for understanding methane ...
Carbonaceous and nitrogenous disinfection by-product formation from algal organic matter
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Seasonal algal blooms in drinking water sources release intracellular and extracellular algal organic matter (AOM) in significant concentrations into the water. This organic matter provides precursors for disinfection ...
Effect of membrane performance including fouling on cost optimization in brackish water desalination process
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2017 , Article)
Membrane selection is a crucial step that will affect the economic feasibility of the membrane water treatment process. A comprehensive evaluation consisting of Verberne Cost Model, assessment of membrane performance and ...
Inter-phase charge and energy transfer in Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites: Critical role of the spacing cations
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Photo-generated charge carrier dynamics in Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites with linear (n-BA) and branched (iso-BA) butylamine as spacing cations have been studied by using transient absorption and time-resolved ...
Functionalization of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and its effects on polysulfone-ZnO membranes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Incorporation of nanoparticles in membranes has recently been reported to lead to enhancement of the membrane performance for various applications. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method using ...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture: Absorption-desorption capabilities of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), piperazine (PZ) and monoethanolamine (MEA) tri-solvent blends
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, highly concentrated tri-solvent blends containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), piperazine (PZ) and monoethanolamine (MEA) were experimentally investigated for their potential capabilities in carbon ...
Gas solubility and rheological behavior study of betaine and alanine based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) produced herein this work by mixing betaine and alanine with lactic acid and malic acid with 1:1 M mixing ratios. Thermophysical properties including water content, thermal stability, ...
Enhancing gas loading and reducing energy consumption in acid gas removal systems: A simulation study based on real NGL plant data
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Amine scrubbing with absorption and desorption is the most established technology for Acid Gas Removal (AGR) systems, but suffers from high regeneration energy requirements and, hence offers a good ...
Synthesis and characterization of Cu/ZnO catalyst on carbon nanotubes and Al2O3 supports
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals is an attractive option to deal with the increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. In this study, Cu/ZnO catalyst was synthesized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ...
Prevention of barite sag in water-based drilling fluids by a urea-based additive for drilling deep formations
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Barite sag is a challenging phenomenon encountered in deep drilling with barite-weighted fluids and associated with fluid stability. It can take place in vertical and directional wells, whether in dynamic or static conditions. ...
