Summary: This study investigated the performance of different types of surfactants on the surface activity, emulsion size, and surface charge of five oil samples. The effects of various parameters on the interfacial tension of crude oil/surfactant solutions were comprehensively analyzed. The results showed that the properties of the surfactants, crude oil type, and ionic strength influenced the interfacial tension, surface charge, and microemulsion size, but not in a straightforward manner. Among the surfactants considered, the cationic surfactant showed the lowest dependency on the crude oil type, while the non-ionic surfactant showed the highest dependency. CTAB cationic surfactant exhibited the most efficient performance with a microemulsion size of 102 nm and surface charge near the isoelectric point.

Summary: Wettability alteration is a key mechanism for enhanced oil recovery during low salinity water flooding, but the role of oil type in this process is still not well understood. This study investigated the contact angle, interfacial tension, and zeta potentials for various rock/brine/crude oil systems. The results showed that the contact angle behavior varied with oil type and salinity, and a comprehensive model was successfully used to predict the contact angle. The study also revealed that interfacial tension and electric double-layer forces play important roles in controlling wettability behavior in different rock substrates.

Summary: Nanofluids, particularly silica, show promise in enhancing oil recoveries with economic and environmental acceptability. However, understanding the two-fold impact of parameters like concentration and salinity is key to optimizing recovery mechanisms and stability. Experiment results indicate that 0.05 wt. % silica nanofluid concentration is optimal for enhanced recovery and stability under high salinity conditions.

Summary: This study employed Design-Expert Software tool to modify the surface of pure Halloysite nanotube (pHNT) with Cerium and Silver nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The modification improved the chemical properties of the pHNT and significantly reduced the interfacial tension (IFT) in the brine/oil system. The optimization process yielded m-HNT with improved wave numbers, crystallography, morphology, and thermal stability. The results suggest that modifying pHNT with Ce/Ag is important for achieving good IFT reduction effect in EOR.

Summary: In this study, the solubility of etoricoxib in supercritical CO2 was measured using a gravimetric method over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Different solubility values were obtained depending on the applied pressure and temperature. It was found that pressure directly influenced the solubility of etoricoxib at all temperatures, while the effect of temperature depended on the crossover point in the solubility curve. Before reaching the crossover point, solubility decreased with increasing temperature, while after the crossover point, a direct relationship between solubility and temperature was observed.

Summary: The study explored the surface-free energies on carbonate surfaces in contact with different aqueous solutions and crude oil, focusing on parameters such as interfacial tension (IFT), contact angle, works of cohesion (WC) and adhesion (WA), and spreading coefficient (SC). MgSO4 showed the greatest IFT reduction, MgCl2 and KCl had the shortest and longest adsorption times, respectively. Na2SO4 was able to change wettability from strongly oil-wet to strongly water-wet, while other salts could alter contact angle.

Summary: This study determines the costs of using CO2 capture technologies in the refining and petrochemical sectors. Depending on the process and method used, CO2 emissions costs of EUR 30 to 40 per ton of CO2 can be avoided. Advanced low-temperature CO2 capture technologies may not provide significant benefits compared to conventional technologies. An analysis estimated a reduction potential of about 0.5-1 Gt/yr for the oil and gas industries using short- and long-term technologies. The integration of CO2 capture into the oil production process helps reduce costs and emissions.

Summary: The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of aluminananoparticles in low-salinity brine for enhanced oil recovery in carbonate oil reservoirs. Analyses including oil/water interfacial tension, zeta potential, and rock wettability were performed to select the optimized dispersions for spontaneous imbibition tests. The results showed that the addition of alumina nanoparticles in low-salinity brine can significantly reduce the oil/water interfacial tension, improve the wettability of the rock, and enhance oil production.

Summary: The surfactant EOR is considered a promising approach for enhancing oil recovery due to the changing energy supply and demand and the non-renewable nature of world oil reservoirs. However, surfactants face challenges such as high adsorption, low stability, and poor performance in harsh conditions like high temperature, high salinity, and dense carbonate rocks. There is currently no established procedure or framework for systematically selecting the best surfactant for EOR in dense carbonates.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the flexible spacer parity of a guest photoactive liquid crystalline dimer on the photonic bandgap features of the cholesteric and twist grain boundary smectic C phases of the host molecule. The results show that the parity of the photoactive dimer affects the width of the photonic bandgap and the blue-shift of the cholesteric phase. Additionally, the parity of the dimer also affects the layer spacing and two-dimensional periodicity of the liquid crystalline phases.

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.

The study reveals that by exciting the nanocomposites within their absorption band, a control over effective optical nonlinearities can be achieved, allowing the modification of the magnitude and sign of the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient. The proposed strategy using metal-alkanoates based glass-forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of nanophotonics and plasmonics technologies.
