Solubilization of oil mixtures in anionic surfactant microemulsions.
(2004)
Surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation technology offers great potential to clean up oil contaminants. For oil mixture contaminants the remediation efficiency can vary significantly between the different oil components. ...
Computational Study and Manipulation of Local Chemical Environment in heterogeneous Catalysis and Separation.
(2023-06-09)
Reactive separation is proposed as a less energy-intensive chemical process with functions of catalytic reaction and separation. It offers an active chemical conversion combined with selective separation to obtain the ...
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
(2016-12-16)
Acid stimulation techniques matrix acidizing and acid fracturing are commonly applied in carbonate reservoirs. The goal of such techniques is to increase well productivity by enhancing permeability in the near wellbore ...
Diblock carbon nanotubes compatibilized immiscible polymer blends
(2020-12)
Plastic pollution is one of the most serious environmental challenges the world is currently facing. From contaminating soil and oceans to harming animals that consume it, the damages caused by mismanaged plastic waste ...
Novel platinum/KL catalysts for the aromatization of N-hexane.
(2000)
Finally, regeneration of Pt/KL catalysts was studied for sulfur poisoned catalysts. While air effectively burned off coke deposits, sintering of Pt resulted. An oxychlorination treatment effectively redispersed the Pt.
Characterization of admicellar polymerized and other thin films using scanning probe microscopy (SPM).
(2001)
Characterization techniques and results of polymer and inorganic thin films using Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) were presented. In view of principle, equipment and operation of SPM sample preparation, and surface ...
Transport Phenomena in Micro Scale Channels and Pores by Numerical Simulations
(2014-12-12)
In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with the Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) algorithm are employed to numerically investigate: (i) the hydraulic responses to a linear array of finite-length ...
Adsorbed surfactant at the solid/liquid interface: Use of adsorbed surfactant aggregates in the synthesis of electrically conducting polymers.
(2003)
The underlying theme to this work is surfactant adsorption at the solid/liquid interface. More specifically, surfactant adsorption has been studied in relation to the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and to the ...
Single-wall carbon nanotubes production by heterogeneous catalytic reaction.
(2000)
A synergistic effect between Co and Mo has been observed. When both metallic species are simultaneously present, particularly when Mo is in excess, the catalyst is very effective. However, when they are separated they are ...
COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT BLOOD FLOW AND HEMOLYSIS IN BIOMEDICAL DEVICES
(2015-12-18)
Turbulent blood flow in medical devices contributes to blood trauma, yet the exact mechanism(s) have not been fully elucidated. Local turbulent stresses, viscous stresses, and the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic ...
