this study aimed to construct the hydrate three-phase equilibrium curves for two typical iranian gas reservoir samples using a high-pressure visual cell. to do so, complete analysis of the reservoir fluids was obtained by different techniques of composition analysis i.e. gas chromatography (gc) and detailed hydrocarbon analysis (dha). using high-pressure visual cell the hydrate phase equilibriu...

Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of lipophilic phenolic antioxidants was carried out with a concentrate of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), recovered from oil extracted from salmon ( Salmon salar ) byproduct. Vanillyl alcohol and rutin were selected for the esterification reaction, and obtained esters yields were 60 and 30%, respectively. The antioxidant activities of the esters were compared...

Separation of polyphenolic phytochemical compounds from their mixtures with sugars is necessary to produce an added-value sugar-reduced extract with high biological activity from fruit juice processing industry waste streams. The separation characteristics of a binary mixture of rutin and glucose using a Pellicon-2 regenerated cellulose ultrafiltration membrane with an area of 0.1 m(2) having n...

The aim of this study was to determine the variation of phenolic compounds in common and tartary buckwheats collected from China, Japan and Korea. Two buckwheat varieties of each country were cultivated using nutrient solution and vermiculite in the greenhouse from February to May, 2012 and harvested at twoweek intervals. Phenolics such as chlorogenic acid, C-glycosylflavones (orientin, isoorie...

Permeability is one of the key factors that determine the fluids flow capacity and production potential of hydrate deposits. In this study, an experimental setup is developed to investigate the flow properties of the porous media, and the permeabilities to water are measured in the unconsolidated porous media with or without hydrate deposition in the pores. A specialized method of precisely con...

Molecular dynamics simulations and stabilization energy calculations are performed in this work in order to understand the stability of CH(4) hydrate, CO(2) hydrate, and CH(4)-CO(2) mixed hydrate. The model systems of fully occupied type SI CH(4) hydrate, CO(2) hydrate, and CH(4)-CO(2) mixed hydrate are prepared in a simulation box of 2 x 2 x 2 unit cell with periodic boundary conditions. The M...

The potential of tobacco waste as a viable source of medicinally important flavonoids like rutin has been investigated. Three flavonoids, apigenin, quercetin and rutin, have been isolated from waste tobacco leaves, and their identities have been confirmed by UV-visible, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. By using analytical HPLC, the amount of rutin present in the tobacco leaves, before and after...

Gas hydrates are crystalline solids formed from mixtures of water and low molecular weight compounds, referred to as hydrate formers, that typically are gases at ambient conditions (1). Generally, hydrates are formed in the laboratory from two-phase systems by contacting a hydrate former or formers in the gas or liquid phase with liquid water and increasing the pressure until crystalline hydrat...
