Aggregate distribution, stability and release of water dispersible clay for two subtropical Oxisols

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Sorption of high explosives to water-dispersible clay: influence of organic carbon, aluminosilicate clay, and extractable iron.

Explosives in soils can present environmental problems for military installations. Fine, mobile particles represent the most reactive fraction of the soil and, therefore, are expected to adsorb explosives and potentially facilitate their transport. The objective of this study was to determine the relative significance of phyllosilicate clay, organic matter, and two forms of extractable iron in ...

Evaluation of fractal dimensions for analysis of aggregate stability

aggregate distribution of organic c, l-glutaminase activity and aggregate stability as affected by slope position

the location of extracellular enzyme activities in soil aggregates can be influenced by slope position. this study aims to determine the effect of slope position on aggregate distribution of organic c and l-glutaminase activity. the soils were collected from different slope positions (shoulder, backslope, footslope and toeslope) at two pasture ecosystems (fereydoonshahr and chelgerd, central ir...

Polymeric ocular nanosuspension for controlled release of acyclovir: in vitro release and ocular distribution

The aim of this study is to formulate a novel ophthalmic nanosuspension (ONS), an alternative carrier system to traditional colloidal carriers for controlled release (CR) of acyclovir (ACV). In the present study, ONS is employed to avoid some of major disadvantages of colloidal carriers systems such as instability in cul de sac and short half life by increasing efficiency of drug encapsulation ...
