Experimental and theoretical studies on the mechanical and structural changes imposed by the variation of clay loading on poly(vinyl alcohol)/cloisite 93A nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) structures are promising materials due to their novel properties. However, many of their characteristic physical, mechanical, and chemical behavior have not been quantified. Depending on the ...
Upgrading Calcium Bentonite to Sodium Bentonite Using Seawater and Soda Ash
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, a new method is introduced to produce sodium bentonite by treating calcium bentonite using seawater to eliminate the use of freshwater and reduces the amount of soda ash required for the treatment, which ...
Investigation of the rheological properties of nanosilica-reinforced polyacrylamide/polyethyleneimine gels for wellbore strengthening at high reservoir temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Wellbore strengthening has been introduced recently to resolve lost circulation problems by improving the fracture gradient and hence extending the mud window. Polymeric cross-linkable solutions showed outstanding strength ...
Influence of polyelectrolyte architecture on the electrokinetics and dewaterability of industrial membrane bioreactor activated sludge
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
Improvement of sludge dewaterability is greatly hindered by the presence of large amounts of interstitial water molecules trapped in the sludge as a result of strong hydrophilic characteristics. This study has investigated ...
Multifunctional self-healing polymeric nanocomposite coatings for corrosion inhibition of steel
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The present work focuses on the self-healing and corrosion behavior of novel epoxy based coatings containing epoxy monomer (EM) and dodecylamine (DDA) as self-healing and corrosion inhibitor, respectively. The coating ...
A comprehensive review on the rheological behavior of imidazolium based ionic liquids and natural deep eutectic solvents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
The rheological behavior of a fluid is an important property that has a distinct impact on its flow conduct, which influence viscosity dependent phenomena and applications such as pumping, mass transfer rates, and ...
Effect of rock mineralogy on Hot-CO2 injection for enhanced gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Conventional gas reservoirs are one of the viable options for CO2 enhanced gas recovery and sequestration. Injection of hot CO2 into depleted reservoirs is expected to improve gas recovery. Static adsorption and core ...
CO2 capture from water-gas shift process plant: Comparative bench-scale pilot plant investigation of MDEA-PZ blend vs novel MDEA activated by 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This research is a bench-scale pilot plant investigation of novel amine solvent blend containing MDEA and 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane (DA2MP) for CO2 capture from water-gas shift process plant (H2 production). The CO2 ...
Enhancement of CO2 biofixation and lipid production by Chlorella vulgaris using coloured polypropylene film
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Chlorella vulgaris was cultivated with light at different wavelengths (λmax) and irradiation intensities (I) by applying a coloured tape (CT) as a simple, inexpensive light filter. C. vulgaris was cultivated in a standard ...
An Investigation of the Swelling Kinetics of Bentonite Systems Using Particle Size Analysis
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Particles size distribution (PSD) is introduced as a tool for analysis of bentonite aggregation and swelling kinetics. Raw Ca-bentonite was purified using a combined wet sieving and sedimentation processes, followed by ...
