The conservation of ocean and freshwater have been crucial issues over the past decades,
and oil/water separation is a well‐known technology to restore polluted water systems. In the …

Carbon xerogels (CXs) are materials obtained via the pyrolysis of resins prepared via the sol–
gel polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde. These materials attract great attention …

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of morphologies (C, cubic; O,
orthorhombic; and S, spherical) of ceria in the catalytic activity for n-C7 asphaltene thermo …

This work focuses on evaluating the effect of the steam quality on the upgrading and
recovering extra-heavy crude oil in the presence and absence of two nanofluids. The …

Obtaining large specific surface areas (SSA) for carbon xerogels poses a significant
challenge due to the inevitable volume shrinkage of xerogel. Here, the Zn 2+ coordination …

Numerous applications of nanoporous materials require their pores to be filled with liquids.
In spite of its huge technological importance, the conditions for the wetting of nanometer …

This study aims to evaluate the reuse capacity of carbon xerogels-Ce/Ni composite (XCeNi)
during crude oil adsorption from O/W emulsions and subsequent regeneration through the …

This study introduces a new type of biocomposite material, which is created by combining
Carbon xerogel (CX) which formed from Tannin, as biopolymer, extracted from banana …

Oily sewage poses a serious environmental risk normally; thus, herein, the modified guar
gum (GG-SH) was prepared through rapid condensation reaction between polysaccharide …

To understand the effect of pressure on the interactions between saturates, aromatics, and
resins (S-Ar-R) fractions during thermo-oxidation reactions, this study evaluates the …
