EOR Technologies: Physico-Chemical Aspects

Emerging technologies: chemical aspects

Consumer demands for high-quality foods with ‘‘fresh-like’’ characteristics that require only a minimum amount of effort and time for preparation has led to the introduction of convenience foods preserved by mild treatments. Non-thermal methods allow the processing of foods below temperatures used during thermal pasteurisation, so flavours, essential nutrients, and vitamins undergo minimal or n...

First Principles Multiscale Modeling of Physico-Chemical Aspects of Tribology

We have been developing methods to obtain a fundamental understanding of the physico-chemistry of sliding systems in contact that underlies the materials science and mechanics issues essential to tribology. Advances in theory and methods are now making it practical to consider fully first principles (de novo) predictions of surface and interface structures and their role in determining tribolog...

Some Physico-chemical and Biochemical Aspects of Malignant Neoplasms

It is necessary to point out in the first place that the present communication deals only with a particular phase of the general problem presented by malignant neoplasms. That it is a not unimportant one, however, is evident when we recall that in any living organism there must operate in each cell certain chemical reactions and physico-chemical changes characteristic of the organism and capabl...

Physico-Chemical Disintegration of Concrete

The purpose of this paper is to list and discuss briefly some of the causes of chemical and physico-chemical disintegration of concrete and to point out some methods that can be used to study these causes. In this paper a distinction is made between physico-chemical (or chemico-physical) and mechanical causes of failure. Processes involving changes in chemical composition (chemical reactions pr...
