Adsorption of asphaltenes at liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces is an undesirable phenomenon and considered to be the major contributor to several complications found in petroleum industry. Although the adsorption of asphaltenes on mineral surfaces has been extensively studied, little work...

Fabrication of Graphene-based Nanocomposite Membranes for Treatment of Process-affected Water
DownloadSpring 2020
Membrane separation processes are extensively used for separation of solutes such as ions, colloids, macromolecules, and organic matter from water. Among various membrane technologies, ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) are progressively being employed for elimination of organic matter...
