THERMAL DEGRADATION AND WATER SORPTION FOR α-PYRROLIDONE/ε-CAPROLACTAM COPOLYMER

Sorption and Transport of Water Vapor in Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Films

Water vapor sorption in films consisting of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) amphiphilic block copolymers has been measured gravimetrically at air relative humidity in the range 38–94% at 248C. The water sorption isotherm was obtained and compared to data for water vapor desorption (drying) for the same system. The kinetics of water vapor sorption we...

Inverse modelling for estimating sorption and degradation parameters for pesticides.

The leaching model PESTRAS was used to estimate sorption and degradation values for bentazone from three lysimeter datasets using the inverse modelling package PEST. Investigations were undertaken to assess the influence on calibration results of (1) values attributed to uncertain parameters not included in the calibration, and (2) starting values supplied to the inverse modelling package. Auto...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Sorption and degradation of alachlor and metolachlor in ground water using green sands.

Reactive barriers are used for in situ treatment of contaminated ground water. Waste green sand, a by-product of gray-iron foundries that contains iron particles and organic carbon, was evaluated in this study as a low-cost reactive material for treating ground water contaminated with the herbicides alachlor [2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] and metolachlor [2-chloro-6'-ethy...
