a proper understanding of reservoir fluid phase behavior is the first crucial step in the development and production of an oil/gas field. this paper addresses the challenges and errors associated with the fluid sampling that may arise before, during and after the sampling operation. for this aim, dst and pvt data of exploration and production wells of a supergiant offshore gas condensate reserv...

The copper paddle-wheel is the building unit of many metal organic frameworks. Because of the ability of the copper cations to attract polar molecules, copper paddle-wheels are promising for carbon dioxide adsorption and separation. They have therefore been studied extensively, both experimentally and computationally. In this work we investigate the copper-CO2 interaction in HKUST-1 and in two ...

The title compound, [Zn(C(12)H(11)N(2)O(4))Cl](n), contains a centrosymmetric dimetal tetra-carboxyl-ate paddle-wheel moiety in which the Zn(II) atom is square-pyramidally coordinated by four carboxyl-ate O atoms at the basal positions and one Cl(-) anion at the apical position. Each paddle-wheel unit is joined to four such neighbours through bridging dicarboxyl-ate ligands, producing a two-dim...

The self-assembly of copper(II) ions and 5-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate (1) leads to Nanoballs in which twelve dinuclear copper(II) paddle-wheel units are interconnected via 24 ligands. The structure of the spherical coordination compound decorated with 24 hydroxy groups has been determined by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. As a model for the integration of Nanoballs int...

The performance of airlift bioreactors are closely related with their geometry, especially the gas-liquid separator design. In this study, the influence of the gas-liquid separator geometry on oxygen transfer and gas hold-up was evaluated in 10-L concentric-tube airlift bioreactor operating with distilled water and xanthan gum solution. The specific airflow rate (ɸAIR) exhibited the higher effe...

A new binuclear paddle-wheel palladium(II) complex of [Pd2(μ-mtzt)4]dmgH2 (1) has been prepared by the treatment of PdCl2 in acetonitrile with mixture of 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole-5-thiol (Hmtzt) and dimethylglyoxime (dmgH2) in methanol. Resulted complex was characterized by elemental analysis (CHNS), IR, UV–Vis absorption, 1H NMR spectroscopy and its structure was determined with single-cr...
