Abstract Modified or low-salinity waterflooding of carbonate oil reservoirs is considerable economic interest because potentially inexpensive incremental production. The injected modified brine changes the surface chemistry rock and crude interfaces detaches some adhered oil. Composition design to enhance recovery determined by labor-intensive trial-and-error laboratory corefloods. Unfortunatel...

Currently the waste generated from public consumption in Indonesia is very high. One such used palm oil households and food companies. Utilization of this research by recycling into surfactants which will be Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process. The surfactant concentrations were 1.3%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.2% 2.5%. began with refining cooking banana peels for 24 hours. In order to make surfactants, mixed...

the silica gel waste (sgw), after its collection from a local factory (kolkata, india) was modified with cationic surfactant and was utilized as an adsorbing media for the removal of 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) from agricultural runoff of a tea garden. characterization of base adsorbent and modified adsorbent was carried out. the efficacy of the adsorbent was evaluated through both ...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method was presented for determination of trace amounts of cu (ii) in water samples. the stability of an n, n´ -disalicylideneethylenediamine modified nano geraphene especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid was studied which used as a recycling and pre-concentration reagent for further uses of n, n´-disalicylideneethylenediamine modified na...

mg(oh)2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a rapid microwave reaction. the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (sds as anionic surfactant) and cetyl tri-methyl ammonium bromide (ctab as cationic surfactant) on the morphology of magnesium hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. multi wall carbon nano tubes was organo-modified for better dispersion in cellulose acetate matrix. the influence of m...

The ever-increasing demand for energy in our society calls for more efficient andsustainable recovery of fossil fuels. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) deals with im-proving the recovery of oil from reservoirs. It encompasses not only the large-scaleengineering enterprise, but also the fundamental understanding and discovery ofthe relevant physicochemical processes. The motivation fo...

Surfaces of Wyoming SWy-2-Na-montmorillonite were modified using ultrasonic and hydrothermal methods through the intercalation and adsorption of the cationic surfactant octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (ODTMA). Changes in the surfaces and structure were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TG), and electron microscopy. The ultrasonic preparation method results in a h...
