chemical flooding, especially alkaline/surfactant/polymer flooding, is of increasing interest due to the world increasing oil demand. this work shows the aspects of using alkaline/surfactant/polymer as an enhanced oil recovery method in the porous media having a high dead-end pore frequency with various dead-end pore parameters (such as opening, depth, aspect ratio, and orientation). using glas...

Surfactant-enabled asymmetric ATA-catalyzed reductive aminations in aqueous buffered media are described, representative of the enhanced levels conversion made possible by presence a nonionic surfactant water, thereby enabling 1-pot chemoenzymatic catalysis.

In this study, the optical properties of glycated (HbA1c) and non-glycated (Hb) hemoglobin are compared using Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), spectrofluorimetry, refractometry. Analysis spectral shift SERS spectra showed good discrimination between two hemoglobins indicating differences in their molecular structure. The fluorescence measured at excitation wavelengths 260, 270, 280 n...

Surfactant-based oil recovery processes are employed to lower the interfacial tension in immiscible displacement processes, change wettability of rock a more water-wet system and emulsify displace it subsurface porous media. Furthermore, these phenomena can reduce capillary pressure enhance spontaneous imbibition. The key factors affecting such process temperature, salinity pH fluids, surfactan...
