Chromium removal from tannery wastewater by electrocoagulation: Optimization and sludge characterization
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The treatment of tannery effluent is of great interest as it contains a complexmixture ofpollutants, primarily chromium. The disposal of this wastewater can have adverse effects on the environment and aquatic life, which ...
Osmotic pressure estimation using the Pitzer equation for forward osmosis modelling
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2020 , Article)
Forward osmosis (FO) has received widespread recognition in the past decade due to its potential low energy production of water. This study presents a new model analysis for predicting the water flux in FO systems when ...
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on α-quartz (0 0 1) for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on the “dense” (0 0 1) surface of α-quartz has been investigated by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas ...
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. ...
Development of a New Borax-Based Formulation for the Removal of Pyrite Scales
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
In the oil and gas industry, pyrite forms one of the most hardened scales in reservoirs, which hinders the flow of fluids. Consequently, this leads to blockage of the downhole tubular, formation damage, and complete shutdown ...
Predicting carbonate formation permeability using machine learning
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
It is imperative to characterize the formation permeability to simulate the flow behavior at subsurface conditions. An accurate characterization at the core scale is possible when large samples are available, but often ...
Synthesis of graphene oxides particle of high oxidation degree using a modified Hummers method
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
High-oxidation-degree graphene oxide particles were synthesized using a modified Hummers' method. Six different types of particles were synthesized by varying the operating conditions, including the temperature, the reactant ...
BET, FTIR, and RAMAN characterizations of activated carbon from waste oil fly ash
(
TUBITAK
, 2020 , Article)
Activated carbon (AC), a porous material with high pore volume, attracts increasing attention owing to
its potential applications in several fields. The development of a porous structure in AC marginally relies on both
the ...
Microwave-assisted conversion of palm kernel shell biomass waste to photoluminescent carbon dots
(
scientific reports
, 2020 , Article)
In the present work, palm kernel shell (PKS) biomass waste has been used as a low-cost and easily available precursor to prepare carbon dots (CDs) via microwave irradiation method. The impacts of the reacting medium: water ...
Nanosheet synthesis of mixed Co3O4/CuO via combustion method for methanol oxidation and carbon dioxide reduction
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
This paper represents a study of mixed Co3O4/CuO nanosheet (NS) synthesis via solution combustion synthesis for oxidation of methanol and carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion. The mixed oxide NS of Co3O4/CuO is a hybrid structure ...
