Highly effective graphene membrane for transformer oil purification

Dibenzyl Disulfide in Transformer Oil

Effective purification of biogas by a condensing-liquid membrane.

In a time of limited reserves of fossil fuels, the problem of biogas utilization becomes a fundamental question. For example, the city of Prague in central Europe with 1.25 million inhabitants requires 35 million liters of diesel per year for its 1180 buses. Diesel is expensive and significantly increases air pollution, mainly with aromatic hydrocarbons (including naphthalenes and alkyl benzene...

Cost effective synthesis and characterization of nanoporous graphene oxide membrane

Nanoporous grapheme-based materials have been widely recognized as an emerging and promising membrane material or selective layer of membranes to be used in separation [1] and purification applications [2, 3]. For instance, a pioneered modeling work reported by Cohen-Tanugi and Grossman [4, 5] shows that a graphene sheet with subnanometer pores can provide superior water transport rate and high...

Preparation of Reference Material 8504, Transformer Oil

A new reference material (RM), RM 8504, has been prepared for use as a diluent oil with Aroclors in transformer oil Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 3075 to 3080 and SRM 3090 when developing and validating methods for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as Aroclors in transformer oil or similar matrices. SRMs 3075-3080 and SRM 3090 consist of individual Aroclors in the same...

A Guide to Transformer Oil Analysis

The fault free operation of power transformers is a factor of major economic importance and safety in power supply utilities and industrial consumers of electricity. In the current economic climate, Industries/Supply Utilites tighten their control on capital spending and make cutbacks in maintenance, an increased awareness is placed on the reliability of the existing electric power supply. Down...
