Investigation of thin-film composite hollow fiber forward osmosis membrane for osmotic concentration: A pilot-scale study
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The current study applied the forward osmosis (FO) based osmotic concentration (OC) process at the pilot-scale for concentrating synthetic feed solution (FS). The process water (PW) salinity represents effluents from the ...
Synthesis and evaluation of a novel polyacrylamide functionalized nano-silica as a calcium carbonate inhibitor in upstream applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Calcium carbonate scale forms in production and injection wells, precipitating upon pressure and temperature changes, incompatible water mixing, and dehydration. Production shutdown is one of the most dramatic consequences ...
A CFD- RSM study of cuttings transport in non-Newtonian drilling fluids: Impact of operational parameters
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Cuttings removal out of the wellbore represents a real barrier for successful drilling operations. The performance of hole cleaning is determined by several factors. The current article provides a theoretical study of the ...
Enhancing the flocculation of stable bentonite suspension using hybrid system of polyelectrolytes and NADES
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
In this study, the influence of a hybrid coagulation/flocculation process on the electrokinetic of highly stable bentonite suspension has been examined. Choline chloride (ChCl) based natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) ...
A review of MXenes as emergent materials for dye removal from wastewater
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
MXenes have emerged as a superlative contestant water purification technology due to their two-dimensional multilayered structures, multifarious chemical composition, photocatalytic properties, and activated metallic ...
Pilot-scale evaluation of forward osmosis membranes for volume reduction of industrial wastewater
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Water treatment is a key aspect for the sustainable management of oil & gas operations. Osmotic concentration (OC) is an advanced water treatment process, adapted from forward osmosis (FO), that does not require water ...
Controlling the Interfacial Charge Polarization of MOF-Derived 0D–2D vdW Architectures as a Unique Strategy for Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysis
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The design of alternative earth-abundant van der Waals (vdW) nanoheterostructures for bifunctional oxygen evolution/reduction (OER/ORR) electrocatalysis is of paramount importance to fabricate energy-related devices. Herein, ...
Facile one-step aqueous-phase synthesis of porous PtBi nanosponges for efficient electrochemical methanol oxidation with a high CO tolerance
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Deliberate control in the composition and morphology of Pt-based catalysts is an efficient route for enhancing the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Herein we developed a facile method for rational one-step aqueous-phase ...
Highly exfoliated Ti3C2T: XMXene nanosheets atomically doped with Cu for efficient electrochemical CO2reduction: An experimental and theoretical study
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2022 , Article)
Ti3C2Tx MXene nanostructures have garnered attention for various catalytic applications due to their built-in electronic properties. Herein, we rationally design highly exfoliated two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx nanosheets (Tx = ...
Porous ternary Pt-based branched nanostructures for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2022 , Article)
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is pivotal for optimizing the energy output of fuel cells and metal-air batteries; however, their commercialization is precluded by the intolerable cost, instability, earth-scarcity of ...
