Chromium removal from tannery wastewater by electrocoagulation: Optimization and sludge characterization
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The treatment of tannery effluent is of great interest as it contains a complexmixture ofpollutants, primarily chromium. The disposal of this wastewater can have adverse effects on the environment and aquatic life, which ...
Computational fluid dynamics simulation of an Inert Particles Spouted Bed Reactor (IPSBR) system
(
De Gruyter Open Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
A novel system for contacting gases and liquids, suitable for many applications involving gas-liquid contact such as CO2 capture and brine desalination, has been simulated and experimentally validated. The system comprises ...
Loss circulation in drilling and well construction: The significance of applications of crosslinked polymers in wellbore strengthening: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Loss circulation is one of the major concerns in drilling and well construction. The uncontrolled flow of fluids into formation while drilling or primary cementing lead to substantial non-productive time (NPT). The methods ...
Applications of chelating agents in the upstream oil and gas industry: A review
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article Review)
Chelating agents show very effective performance in different applications in the upstream oil and gas industry. This study presents a critical review of the application of chelating agents in acidizing, scale removal, ...
Hole cleaning and drilling fluid sweeps in horizontal and deviated wells: Comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Horizontal wells provide high drainage area within the reservoirs. Advancements in horizontal drilling technologies are utilized to develop unconventional resources such as shale gas and coal bed methane. However, wellbore ...
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on α-quartz (0 0 1) for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on the “dense” (0 0 1) surface of α-quartz has been investigated by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas ...
A novel cylindrical electrode configuration for inducing dielectrophoretic forces during electrocoagulation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The removal of total phosphorous (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from a secondary treated wastewater (STW) using a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration was evaluated. Three different electrode modules were ...
Effect of the induced dielectrophoretic force on harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.) in electrocoagulation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration has been investigated in order to induce dielectrophoretic (DEP) force for the enhanced harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.). Asymmetrical aluminum ...
Simultaneous removal of Congo red and cadmium (II) from aqueous solutions using graphene oxide–silica composite as a multifunctional adsorbent
(
Chinese Academy of Sciences
, 2020 , Article)
Graphene oxide is a very high capacity adsorbent due to its functional groups and π−π interactions with other compounds. Adsorption capacity of graphene oxide, however, can be further enhanced by having synergistic effects ...
Microwave-assisted conversion of palm kernel shell biomass waste to photoluminescent carbon dots
(
scientific reports
, 2020 , Article)
In the present work, palm kernel shell (PKS) biomass waste has been used as a low-cost and easily available precursor to prepare carbon dots (CDs) via microwave irradiation method. The impacts of the reacting medium: water ...
