Optimal design of crude oil distillation plants.
(2001)
Crude distillation is the first processing unit in the refinery. It separates the crude in to distillates, which are either intermediate products further processed or raw materials for the chemical industry. Crude distillation ...
An investigation into the properties and behaviors of alkyldiphenyl oxide disulfonate surfactants.
(2001)
An overview of surfactant adsorption included a discussion of the importance of surfactant adsorption in petroleum applications, a summary of the history of surfactant adsorption research and the mechanisms that have been ...
Tendon Tissue Engineering Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells, the Human Umbilical Vein, and Mechanical Stimulation
(2008)
The umbilical cord is a biological tissue that is readily available and is usually discarded. Previous studies suggested the use of the Human Umbilical Vein (HUV) as an acellular vascular grafting material. In this study, ...
Biosurfactants: Characterization, Microemulsion Formation and Potential Applications
(2009)
Biosurfactants, which are produced from microorganisms, have become of interest due to their non-toxic nature, their biodegradability and their production from renewable resources. Research has evaluated the use of ...
Turbulent heat transport in plane channel flow and plane Couette flow using direct numerical simulation in conjunction with Lagrangian scalar tracking
(2009)
Turbulent flows in plane channel and plane Couette are investigated using a direct numerical simulation in conjunction with Lagrangian scalar tracking of trajectories of thermal markers. The flow is for an incompressible ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
