Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is widely accepted as one of the promising sustainable energy
resources, whereas the potential geo-engineering risks have become one of the major …

The usage of edible coatings (ECs) represents an emerging approach for extending the
shelf life of highly perishable foods, such as fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. This …

Hypothesis The wetting behaviour is a key property of a porous medium that controls
hydraulic conductivity in multiphase flow. While many porous materials, such as …

The knowledge about the underlying mechanisms of oil transport behavior with the
presence of thin water film in hydrophilic quartz nanopores is crucial to oil migration and …

Multiphase flow in nanoporous media is ubiquitous in geophysics, physical chemistry, and
bioengineering. The underlying mechanisms of two-phase flow are of great importance in …

Wettability of alkylated quartz surfaces is of primary importance in several technological
applications, including the development of oil and gas reservoirs and carbon geo …

The mixture of dodecylamine (DDA) and α-bromododecanoic acid (α-BDDA) was used as a
collector to separate spodumene from feldspar and quartz. It was found that at the condition …

At present, the mechanism of the influence of salinity on wettability of reservoir rocks is still
insufficient. In this paper, molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the wetting …

Asphaltene deposition is a ubiquitous problem in crude oil exploitation, which can cause the
blockage of pore throat, leading to a significant reduction of oil recovery. Understanding the …

Surface roughness plays a vital role in flotation, because it has a pronounced impact on
colloidal interactions, ie, solid-liquid adhesion. In the previous studies, the natural mineral …
