Adsorption Characteristics of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Zwitterionic Functionalized Alumina: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Tow, Garrett (2017-05)A classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to determine the extent of surfactant adsorption on zwitterionic functionalized Al2O3. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a model anionic surfactant, and ... -
Deinking Printed Plastic Using Nonionic Surfactant and Cationic Polymer
Baruah, Asmita (2021-08-05)Plastic recycling has been an ongoing conversation amongst many environmentalists who aim to reduce consumption and use of plastic. Prior to reducing plastic use, it is crucial to consider the current process of recycling ... -
EFFECT OF MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES LENGTH, DENSITY, POWDER SIZE AND PRE-TREATMENT METHOD ON ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYCARBONATE/MWCNT COMPOSITES
Zapata Hincapie, John (2016-05-13)The combine effect of nanotube pre-treatment method (freeze drying (FD) vs. oven drying (OD) ), density, powder size and length of fourteen multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the dispersion and further on the ... -
Further Exploration of Heat of Immersion as a Method To Quantify Wettability For Particulates: Effect of Temperature
Xu, Boshen (2023-05-12)A previous paper by our group concluded that to distinguish between the wettability of different particles, heat of immersion is the best method as opposed to the Washburn or sessile drop method. In this paper, heats of ... -
USE OF THE HLD EQUATION TO DETERMINE SURFACTANT ADSORPTION AT SOLID SURFACES
Carr, Kevin (2016-07-08)The objective of this work is to develop and refine a mathematical model based on the fundamentals of the hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation equation in order to describe and predict surfactant adsorption onto reservoir rocks ...
