This work studies the performance of three phosphonium-based ionic liquids ([P6,6,6,14][BEHP], [P6,6,6,14][TCM] and [P6,6,6,14][DEC]) when used separately as additives on thermal conductivity, stability tribological properties two non-additised greases (a lithium-based a calcium-based grease). The main results confirmed that improved both greases. Only mixtures G1 + 5%[P6,6,6,14][BEHP] G2 5%[P6...

This work aimed to produce hydrogen (H₂) simultaneously with pollutant removal from biodiesel wastewater by photocatalytic oxidation using a thermally-treated commercial titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalyst at room temperature (~30 °C) and ambient pressure. The effects of the operating conditions, including the catalyst loading level (1-6 g/L), UV light intensity (3.52-6.64 mW/cm²), initial pH...

The energy of a radio wave is reduced through the dispersion, the refraction and the absorption because the medium transferring the vibration of a radio wave is the seawater. In the end the reduced energy of a radio wave causes the reduced transmitting length for communication, the long postponed communication and the frequent error. The subsea communication for the marine environment monitorin...

This article investigates the influence of frequency on field-dependent non-linear rheology magnetorheological (MR) grease under large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS). First, LAOS tests with different driving frequencies were conducted MR at four magnetic fields, and storage loss moduli 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 Hz compared to obtain an overall understanding frequency-dependent viscoelastic behavior gr...

Field-scale bioremediation of oily sludge in prepared beds was studied at Shengli oilfield in northern China. The influence of manure, coarse sand, sawdust, a specialized microbial preparation and greenhouse conditions on the efficiency of removal of oil and grease was evaluated. After bioremediation for 230d, oil and grease content fell by 32-42gkg(-1)dry sludge in treated plots, indicating re...

Co-digestion has drawn much attention because of its potential to increase biogas production among other benefits. Restaurant grease has high energy content and methane production potential and so is a promising substrate for co-digestion with municipal wastewater sludge. Anaerobic co-digestion of municipal wastewater sludge and restaurant grease was investigated at laboratory-scale under mesop...

The present study discusses an assessment of oil, grease, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and some heavy metals in surface and ground water within and around the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) depot, in Apata, Ibadan metropolis in other to assess the pollution status of the water. Samples were collected randomly within and around the depot. Control samples were taken from Awba...

the purposes of this research have been to determine the wastewater quality of a typical railroad repair workshop and to find a way to reduce the concentrations of present contaminants especially oil and grease. the mean concentrations of oil, cod and ss in the wastewater studied were 287.69, 775.85 and 28723, respectively with average daily discharge to be 30-35 m3. three successive treatment ...

The ability to obtain laser based quantitative temperature measurements is particularly important in high pressure environments. In this study, quantitative temperature measurements using Laser Induced Thermal Grating Spectroscopy (LITGS) were employed for a toluene vapor/air jet varying the toluene concentration and pump laser power. In LITGS, the gas temperature at the crossing point of two p...
