Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticle was synthesized using organometallic compound – ferrocene carboxaldehyde through solventless solid state thermal decomposition technique. The crystal structure, magnetic and morphological properties of the decomposed material were studied using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive […]
Nanotechnology has the capability to modernize both the upstream and downstream oil and gas industry. It has been effectively used in exploration, drilling, production, refinery as well as in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) fields. Understanding the basics of scaling criteria development along with nanoparticle stabilized EOR mechanism will assist petroleum engineers in designing, analyzing, and […]
