We present the results from a novel experimental apparatus that can image – at the micron scale – fluid displacements at elevated temperatures and pressures. The images are acquired using a micro-CT scanner (Xradia Versa 500) that has been adapted to allow core flood experiments to be conducted in situ, allowing continuous imaging at resolutions down to around 1 μm. A small cylindrical core – a...

This study investigates the role of zooclasts in bulk organic matter composition, kerogen type, and hydrocarbon generation potential lower Paleozoic marine Alum shale Baltoscandia, northwestern Europe. The results show that graptolite periderm is composed non-granular cuticles granular filling. cuticle non-fluorescing has a well-polishing measurable surface, while fraction semi-translucent brow...

Hierarchy plays a crucial role in the development of the granular computing(GrC). Presently, a lot of hierarchies have been studied for characterizing the finer or coarser relationships among information granulations, which are derived from the crisp binary relations. To further improve the existing results, not only the fuzzy information granulations derived from the fuzzy binary relations are...

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is a widely applied process for the removal of carbon and phosphorus from wastewater, which is achieved through the use of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAO). Conventional wastewater treatment plants utilise floccular sludge, which form small, suspended biofilm aggregates for the treatment of wastewater. A novel alternative to conventional f...

Determining the degree of reducing power multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and granular activated (GAC) enables their effective application in various fields. In this study, we estimate (CNTs) GAC by measuring reduction compounds with different potentials. MWCNTs materials can reduce Cr(VI), Fe(III) PMo12O403−, where potentials range from +1.33 V to +0.65 V. However, no reduced forms PW12O...

Activated carbon is one of the mainstay technologies for the decolorization of raw sugar to produce refined sugar products. This paper discusses issues relevant to the application of granular activated carbon in the sugar refining industries. The topics covered include evaluating the performance of recycled adsorbents, the evolution of activated carbon properties during initial activation and r...

Background Aerobic granular sludge has become an attractive alternative to the conventional activated sludge due to its high settling velocity, compact structure, and higher tolerance to toxic substances and adverse conditions. Aerobic granular sludge process has been studied intensively in the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. However, information on leachate treatment using ae...
