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 ...
Intercalation of ionic liquids into bentonite: Swelling and rheological behaviors
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, direct intercalation of three different green ionic liquids (ILs) having different salt and cation sizes into bentonite interlayer is investigated. The ILs covered in this study are: 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ...
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 ...
Reaction Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide with 2-Amino-1-butanol in Aqueous Solutions Using a Stopped-Flow Technique
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Carbon capture and management plays an important role in the development of new technologies to mitigate anthropogenic global warming. In this work, for the first time, the kinetics of CO2 with aminobutanol (AB) using a ...
Development of polysulfone-nanohybrid membranes using ZnO-GO composite for enhanced antifouling and antibacterial control
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles were well-known for the enhanced antifouling and antibacterial properties which could be beneficial for membrane processes in desalination. The functionalization of ZnO onto graphene oxide nanoplates ...
Modification of Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of ZrO2
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Modification of a 1 wt% Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of thin ZrO2 films was studied. Calcination of the unmodified Pd/CeO2, prepared by precipitation of aqueous Ce(NO3)3 solutions, with Pd added by impregnation, ...
A mathematical model for carbon fixation and nutrient removal by an algal photobioreactor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A comprehensive mathematical modeling method for Chlorella vulgaris (Cv) has been developed to assess the influence of nutrient concentration (total nitrogen TN= 28-207 and total phosphorus TP= 6-8mgL 1) and irradiation ...
Effects of amphiphilic pluronic F127 on the performance of PS/SPEEK blend ultrafiltration membrane: Characterization and antifouling study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of amphiphilic Pluronic F127 additive on the ultrafiltration performance of polysulfone (PSf)/sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) blend flat sheet membranes was investigated in the present work. Fixed ...
