CO2 utilization: Developments in conversion processes

Erdoğan Alper, Özge Yüksel Orhan · 10 Dec 2016

Carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) –including conversion to valuable chemicals-is a challenging contemporary issue having multi-facets. The prospect to utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) as a feedstock for synthetic applications in chemical and fuel industries -through carboxylation and reduction reactions-is the subject of this review. Current statute of the heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation, as well…

Most common surfactants employed in chemical enhanced oil recovery

Chegenizadeh Negin, Saeedi Ali, Quan Xie · 23 Dec 2016

Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and particularly surfactant injection has recently received a great deal of attention. The suggested recovery mechanisms after injecting surfactants include wettability alteration and IFT reduction. If a surfactant is properly selected according to the environmental variables-such as pressure, temperature, salinity, it can lead to more efficient enhanced recovery from an…

Role of biosurfactants in bioremediation of oil pollution-a review

Abraham Peele Karlapudi, T. C. Venkateswarulu, Jahnavi Tammineedi et al. · 14 Mar 2018

The energy resources mainly petroleum and petroleum hydrocarbons are major pollutants of the environment. The oil and oil products contamination may cause severe harm and hence, the attention has been remunerated in the development of alternative technologies for elimination of these contaminants. Biosurfactants were used in the remediation of oil pollution due to advantages such…

Status of surfactant EOR technology

James J. Sheng · 1 Jun 2015

Surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) includes surfactant flooding and surfactant stimulation. The main functions of surfactants are to reduce interfacial tension and wettability alteration. This paper is to review the EOR technology related to surfactant injection. The reviewed topics include the following: • Surfactant EOR mechanisms • Factors affecting interfacial tension • Trapping number •…

Significant aspects of carbon capture and storage – A review

Arshad Raza, Raoof Gholami, Reza Rezaee et al. · 18 Dec 2018

Excessive emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has resulted in a progressive climate change and global warming in the past decades. There have been many approaches developed to reduce the emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, among which Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) techniques has been recognized as the most promising method.…

Petroleum template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Petroleum format?
