In this thesis, “the specific ion effect on interfacial and colloidal phenomena” was investigated by examining the counterion distribution in the surfactant adsorbed films with the aid of X-ray absorption fine structure under total reflection condition (TR-XAFS) followed by solvation structure analysis as well as by evaluating thermodynamic physicochemical variables through surface tensiometry ...

This review presents an overview of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) preparation by green synthesis approaches that have advantages over conventional methods involving chemical agents associated with environmental toxicity. Green synthetic methods include mixed-valence polyoxometallates, polysaccharide, Tollens, irradiation, and biological. The mixed-valence polyoxometallates method was carried ou...

The interfacial tension of surfactant solutions is decreased with increasing surfactant concentration to obtain the critical micelle concentration (CMC). After that, the CMC values does not alter much. So this concentration is a critical point during surfactant flooding that is one of the chemical EOR techniques. The reduction of the CMC value is taken into consideration, since the surfactant f...

In this research, the interaction of hexadecyl trimahyl ammonium bromide (HTAB) with enzyme ureasehas been investigated comprehensively at different experimental conditions such as ionic strength, proteinconcentration using ion selective membrane electrode of surfactants. The obtained binding isotherms frompotentiometnc studies have been analyzed by different theories such as Wyman binding pote...

The hydrodynamic behaviour of a biofilter fed toluene and packed with an inert carrier was evaluated on start-up and after long-term operation, using both methane and styrene as tracers in Residence Time Distribution experiments. Results indicated some deviation from ideal plug flow behaviour after 2-year operation. It was also observed that the retention time of VOCs gradually increased with t...
