The extensive extraction of oil from the bottom of seas and oceans and its transportation by
tankers increase the risk of potential environmental disasters associated with hydrocarbon …

This paper proposes the preparation of a new sorbent material based on melamine sponges
(MS) with superhydrophobic, superoleophilic, and magnetic properties. This study involved …

We report a solventless bilayer strategy for grafting hydrophilic poly (methacrylic
acid)(PMAA) onto metal meshes. The bilayer nanocoating consisted of ultrathin PMAA …

Gas hydrate in subsea pipelines is a serious flow assurance issue that may impose
operational challenges to offshore petroleum production and transportation. The effects of …

This study conducts experimental and numerical simulations and analyzes the effects of the
air bubble barrier (ABB) on the oil spill spread prevention efficiency regarding the varying …

In this study, magnetic fly ash was prepared with fly ash and nano-magnetic Fe3O4,
obtained by co-precipitation. Then, a magnetic fly ash/polydimethylsiloxane (MFA@ PDMS) …

Hydrate formation management in oil and gas industries needs a detailed understanding of
hydrate formation phenomena in terms of dynamics and kinetics aspects. Stirred reactors …

Among several chemical flooding methods, alkaline flooding is widely used for the recovery
of acidic crude oil. Earlier studies showed fewer applications on high incremental oil …

Effective treatment of frequent oil spills and endless discharged oily wastewater is crucial for
the ecosystem and human health. In the past two decades, the collection of oil from water …

Hydrate blockage in oil and gas facilities can cause a significant economic impact in terms of
deferred production and remediation costs, particularly in harsh conditions (eg, deep water) …
