In contrast to physical failure of process systems, quantification of inherent system energy resilience has been carried out considering performance failure of process systems under this work. The inherent energy resilience for process systems can be conceptualized from the perspectives of material resilience (Guha, Environ Prog Sustain Energy, e13308, 2019). Correlations have been used to […]
Oil-absorbing resins containing cross-linked poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) were synthesized via precipitation polymerization in an environment-friendly route using supercritical carbon dioxide as the reaction media. The PBA resins were then regenerated through subcritical CO2 extraction process. The PBA resins with macroporous structures, prepared at pressures ranging from 17.5 to 24.5 MPa, were characterized by field emission scanning […]
Batch adsorbers were designed for the adsorption of the fabric dyes Basic Violet 16 (BV16) and Reactive Red 195 (RR195) on locally available low-cost natural adsorbents of Persian bentonite, vermicompost and Persian charred dolomite. The adsorption isotherm data were in agreement with the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 99%). Results showed that with increasing the adsorption capacity […]
The micro-structural effects on the corrosion resistance of three classes of mild steels (A, B and C) suitable for galvanizing industry, according to their silicon, phosphorus content, grain number and size of carbides (Fe3C) in concentrated hydrochloride acid solution was investigated by a series of known techniques, such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy […]
The adsorption mechanism and inhibitive action of the Eucalyptus plant leaf extract (Eu) on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.5 M H3PO4 solutions were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that the Eucalyptus leaf extract acts as a mixed type inhibitor in both […]
Mineral scale deposit is one of the major problems incessantly faced in the oil and gas producing wells and surface facilities, and if not well-handled can cause an unsuccessful petroleum production. To eradicate scale deposits, scale inhibitors (SIs) are commonly deployed into industrial water systems. Because of effectiveness and long squeeze lifetimes, organic phosphonate SIs […]
