Adsorption of organic pollutants by nanomaterial-based adsorbents: An overview
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Nanomaterial-based adsorbents have garnered increasing attention in water and wastewaters treatment applications due to their attractive properties and strong adsorption capabilities for various organic compounds. The ...
Ab initio molecular dynamics investigation of CH4/CO2 adsorption on calcite: Improving the enhanced gas recovery process
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of CH4 and CO2 on the calcite (104) surface have been carried out for the molecular level analysis of CO2-enhanced gas recovery process (EGR). This process takes advantage of the ...
A perforated electrode design for passivation reduction during the electrochemical treatment of produced water
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Produced water refers to the water that is generated when oil and gas are extracted from the ground, and it usually includes the natural water layer within the reservoir (formation water) as well as the injected water. The ...
Absorption of CO2 in aqueous blend of methyldiethanolamine and arginine
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The objective of this research is to study for the first time the effect of adding l-arginine (Arg) amino acid on the solubility of carbon dioxide in aqueous solution of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA). The study was carried ...
Density-Functional Theory Investigation of Barite Scale Inhibition Using Phosphonate and Carboxyl-Based Inhibitors
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Scale deposition is a critical issue in oil and gas exploration and production processes, causing significant blocking in tubing and consequently flow assurance and economic losses. Most studies addressing the scale formation ...
Loss circulation in drilling and well construction: The significance of applications of crosslinked polymers in wellbore strengthening: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Loss circulation is one of the major concerns in drilling and well construction. The uncontrolled flow of fluids into formation while drilling or primary cementing lead to substantial non-productive time (NPT). The methods ...
Influence of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the degree of flocculation and rheological behavior of industrial MBR sludge
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The influence of polyelectrolyte's type and structure on the rheological characteristics of industrial highly stable membrane bioreactor (MBR) sludge have been investigated and were related to its degree of flocculation ...
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 the induced dielectrophoretic force on harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.) in electrocoagulation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration has been investigated in order to induce dielectrophoretic (DEP) force for the enhanced harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.). Asymmetrical aluminum ...
Ab Initio molecular dynamics of the dissolution of oilfield pyrite scale using borax
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Iron sulfide scales, particularly pyrite, form in oil and gas underground tubing and surface equipment thus blocking the flow of fluids and halting production. Therefore, the development of physicochemical processes for ...
