Abstract The wettability preference of carbonate reservoirs is neutral-wet or oil-wet as the prevailing hydrocarbon reserves that affects approximately half total production hydrocarbons world. Therefore, due to surface rocks notable fraction oil held inside their pores in comparison with sandstones. Since shifting toward water-wet system great interest, numerous components were used for this p...

The dual need to remove CO2 from our emissions and treat alkaline industrial residues such as ash materials motivate the design of innovative pathways simultaneously capture convert into mineralized carbonates. Direct carbon mineralization is one approach that addresses mineralize emissions. Low solubility in water slow kinetics at ambient temperature have challenged direct residues. To address...

The photo catalytic oxidation of Surfactant Hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide in aqueous diluted solution has been investigated. Compressed air was used as oxidant and the temperature was maintained at 25-30°C. Effect of UV rays alone and in combination of hydrogen peroxide (H O ) and titanium 2 2 dioxide (TiO ) on Hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (C H NBr) was recorded. Finally, from HPLC...

cis-polybutadiene was functionalized using in–situ generated dmd as oxidant and tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide as phase transfer catalyst (ptc). the epoxidation process was investigated by 1hnmr spectroscopy. 1hnmr spectrum analysis of products confirms the absence of ring opening side products in epoxidation reaction. various factors such as reaction temperature, reaction time and the concentr...

Precious metals are currently associated with selenium (naumannite, Ag2Se) and tellurium (calaverite, AuTe2; sylvanite, (Au,Ag)2Te4) to form species refractory to cyanidation. The aim of this preliminary work was to study the use of the solvent extraction technique to recover tellurium and selenium ions from a synthetic solution similar to the cyanidation effluents to recycle the free cyanide b...

Measurement of total and trimethyl lead in mammalian tissue is described, using ion exchange/high performance liquid chromatography in tandem with flameless atomic absorption spectrometry for lead-specific detection. All lead forms in whole blood and homogenates of soft tissue--brain, kidney, and liver--were liberated from tissue binding by treatment with dilute (3N) HCl for a period of 18 hr. ...
