Microemulsion, because of its excellent interfacial tension reduction and solubilization
properties, has wide range of applications in the petroleum industry, especially in improved …

The trend of growing interest in alternative source of energy focuses on renewable products
worldwide. However, the situation of petroleum industries in many countries needs much …

Since conventional oil recovery techniques only produce a limited fraction of the original oil
in place (OOIP), the need for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods has become …

Microemulsions are technologically important complex fluids. In many applications, they are
required to accommodate functional additives such as drugs, polymers, and nanoparticles …

In this paper, three imidazolium-based ionic liquids, viz., 1-butyl-3-undecyl imidazolium
bromide ([BUIm] Br), 1-butyl-3-octyl imidazolium bromide ([BOIm] Br), and 1-butyl-3 …

TiO2 nanoparticles with controlled morphology and high photoactivity were prepared using
a microemulsion-mediated hydrothermal method in this study, and the particles were …

In this study, based on a cyano-functionalized ionic liquid, 1-nitrile-1-octylpyrrole bromide
([C 8 Y 3 Pr] Br), a [C 8 Y 3 Pr] Br/cyclohexane/tributyl phosphate (TBP)/NaCl microemulsion …

Oil deposited on shoreline substrates has serious adverse effects on the coastal
environment and can persist for a long time. In this study, a green and effective …

The rapidly increasing number of applications for microemulsions has kept this relatively old
topic still at the top point of research themes. This book provides an assessment of some …

Hydrocarbons are produced and transported in a form of mixtures containing oil, gas, and
water plus organic and inorganic contaminants. The flow presence of these contaminants …
