The presence of clay leads to low recoveries in the process of flotation of copper ores which
is also reflected in a decrease of the concentrates grades. Due to this, the scientific interest …

The nuclear industry is rapidly developing and the effective management of nuclear waste
and monitoring the nuclear fuel cycle are crucial. The presence of various radionuclides …

The novelty of the current article is to investigate the adsorption potential of the Egyptian
natural and activated bentonite (Na-bentonite) to inorganic and organic phosphorus (IP, OP) …

Geothermal formations are naturally fractured with large fracture openings and networks.
This can often lead to frequent drilling fluid loss events which is a major contributor to the …

Environmental colloids play crucial roles in the transport of environmental pollutants in
porous media by acting as pollutant carriers. In this work, the dispersion stability and …

To control the fluid loss of water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs) in salt-gypsum formations, a
nano-SiO2 graft copolymer was prepared by inverse emulsion polymerization. The polymer …
