Treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. The various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. Based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...

Through this study, the ability of a modified Peng-Robinson (MPR) equation of state in predicting the surface tension of n-alkanes based on the density functional theory approach was investigated and compared with other studies. The interfacial layer thickness and the density profile were calculated simultaneously at different temperatures from triple point to near critical point using the modi...

in this study 152 bacterial strains were isolated from the contaminated oils in the southwest of iran. hemolysis was used as a criterion for the primary  isolation of biosurfactant producing-bacteria. fifty five strains had haemolytic activity , among them tweleve strains were good biosurfactant producers by measuring surface tension and emulsification activity.two microorganism showed the high...

by considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (spt)  based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. at the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between coexi...

in order to compare effect of magnetic field and frigate surfactant to enhance the efficacy of iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium plus mesosulfuron-methyl (chevalier) to control wild oat, a greenhouse experiment of dose-response was conducted. treatments were 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 doses g a.i. ha-1 of chevalier (i) without treatment, (ii) with frigate % 0.1 v/v, (iii) with magnetic field, and (iv) fri...
