An optimized reverse micelle surfactant system has been developed for solution nuclear magnetic resonance studies of encapsulated proteins and nucleic acids dissolved in low viscosity fluids. Comprising the nonionic 1-decanoyl-rac-glycerol and the zwitterionic lauryldimethylamine-N-oxide (10MAG/LDAO), this mixture is shown to efficiently encapsulate a diverse set of proteins and nucleic acids. ...

The low salinity waterflooding can increase oil recovery by 5%-20% in sandstones, which has attracted more and attention. However, the mechanism of is not clear. In this paper, effect cation replacement on interaction between silica investigated via molecular dynamics simulation to reveal waterflooding. results show that stable adsorption droplets surface mainly due strong rock caused cations. ...

The current study focuses on the development of the modified surface of the alumina by anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. The synthesized Surfactant Modified Alumina (SMA) effectively associated with dye molecules and amended their properties. The triphenylmethane (CBB) and thiazine dyes (MB) were selected as a simulated dye wastewater system. The removal was carried out by adsorpti...

existence of acid humic in water resources is undesirable and causes carcinogenic component in disinfection process due to reaction with chlorine. due to their cost-effectiveness and higher physical resistance than activated carbon, natural zeloites are used for removing various pollutants. . in the present study, iranian natural zeolite modified with cetylpyridinium bromide (cpb) was investiga...

Connatal bacterial pneumonia is common in neonates. Animal studies and initial clinical reports indicate that surfactant dysfunction is involved in the pathophysiology of severe neonatal pneumonia. Since respiratory distress syndrome and connatal pneumonia may be difficult to differentiate in the first hours of life, neonates with respiratory failure due to bacterial infections might receive su...

Evaporation of surfactant droplets on leaves is complicated due to the complex physical and chemical properties leaf surfaces. However, for certain surfaces which evaporation process appears follow standard constant-contact-radius or constant-contact-angle modes, it should be possible mimic droplet with both a well-chosen synthetic surface relatively simple mathematical model. Surfactant experi...

In this batch study, montmorillonite was modified by a cationic surfactant [hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-MMT)] and used as sorbent to remove bromocresol green (BCG) from aqueous solutions. The effect of several factors such as surfactant loading rate onto the clay, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, dye concentration, and ion strength were investigated on the sorption. The equilib...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Low-salinity Waterflood LSW Brine Double-layer Sandstone Carbonate Film Low-salinity waterflooding is a relatively new method for improved oil recovery that has generated much interest. It is generally believed that low-salinity brine alters the wettability of oil reservoir rocks towards a wetting state that is optimal for recovery. The mechanism(s) by which the ...
