Humic acid (HA) is a component of natural organic matter (NOM) with a high molecular
weight and high complexity. The presence of humic acid in water raises serious concerns …

Polymer flocculants are used to promote solid–liquid separation processes in potable water
and wastewater treatment. Recently, bio-based flocculants have received a lot of attention …

Pollution by microplastics (MPs) formed by the physicochemical breakdown of plastics are a
worldwide issue with long-lasting and hazardous natural effects. The natural expulsion of …

In deep-formation drilling, effective filter loss control in ultrahigh-temperature conditions and
high-salt conditions faces challenges. Comb polymer/LDH composites (P-LDH) with partially …

Drilling fluid circulation loss is referred to as “the most severe problem in drilling of oil and
gas wells”, as a routine solution, loss circulation materials are added to fill any fractures and …

Rapid flocculation and settlement (FS) of mine tailings is significant for the improvement and
development of the filling process, whereas the settlement velocity (SV) of tailings in FS has …

Developing high performance and non-toxic adhesives to replace the petroleum-based
adhesives are highly desirable for wood industry. The use of magnesium oxychloride …

The objectives of this study are to explore the adsorption mechanisms for how the
polyacrylamide (PAM) interact with kaolinite (0 0 1) surface. Three structural unit models (P …

Effective filtration loss control under high temperature and high salinity environments is a
great challenge in oil and gas drilling engineering. In this study, a core-shell structural nano …

The problem of lost circulation is a direct consequence of the presence of fractures or high
permeability. Lost circulation material (LCM) is used to treat the loss that occurs or …
