The Separation of Hydrocarbons from Sand Using Ionic Liquids
The problem that this work addresses involves the separation of oil, bitumen or tar from sand or other types of mineral matter. The processes presently used to separate or extract hydrocarbons from sand are expensive, [...]
Design and Application of Novel Nano Drilling Fluids to Mitigate Circulation Loss Problems during Oil Well Drilling Operations
Nano-fluids have recently attracted attention in the petroleum industry as potential solutions to several shortcomings of conventional drilling fluids. Drilling fluid is in charge of numerous functions during the drilling operation including transport of cuttings [...]
Thermo Catalytic decomposition of methane on Ni/SiO2 catalyst into pure hydrogen and carbon nanotubes
The current methods of producing hydrogen are based on steam methane reforming (SMR), coal gasification, electrolysis, biomass gasification and thermochemical processes A comparison between the cost of hydrogen production from renewable energy, and fossil sources, [...]
