Demulsification of stable emulsions from produced water using a phase separator with inclined parallel arc coalescing plates
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with a series of inclined multiple arc coalescence plates is developed and optimized for the removal of stable oil emulsions from produced water. The synthetic high ...
Optimization of selection of chain amine scrubbers for CO2 capture
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
In order to optimize the selection of a suitable amine molecule for CO2 scrubbers, a series of ab initio calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. Diethylenetriamine was used as a simple chain ...
Synthesis and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol): Cloisite 20A nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Polymeric nanocomposite materials are very important materials because of their promised applications. However, many of their fundamental physical, mechanical, and chemical behaviors have not been quantified. Depending on ...
Rheological characterization of NA2CO3 activated calcium bentonite for oil and gas drilling applications
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Calcium bentonite was activated with soda ash (Na2CO3) at various ratios and due to the ion exchange; the original Ca-bentonite was converted to Na-bentonite. It was found that the Na2CO3 activation improves the swelling ...
Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of drops of relatively uniform size is injected ...
Mechanism of GaAs surface sulfidation
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2014 , Article)
The mechanism of GaAs sulfidation under illumination and potentiodynamic polarization was investigated in acidified thiourea (TU) electrolytes. Sulfidation generated smooth surfaces, as revealed by scanning electron ...
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 ...
CO2 sorption kinetics of scaled-up polyethylenimine-functionalized mesoporous silica sorbent
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethylenimine, PEI (Mn ∼ 423 and 10K), impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam prepared in kilogram quantities via a scale-up process were synthesized and systematically characterized ...
Electrostatic phase separation: A review
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article Review)
The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids following the last review on the topic some 15 ...
Synthesis, characterization and performance of Pd-based core-shell methane oxidation nano-catalysts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, a comparative investigation of the catalytic performances of Pd@TiO2 and Pd@CeO2, core-shells nanocatalysts supported over functionalized alumina, for application to methane oxidation is presented. The results ...
