Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are principally derived from the incomplete
combustion of fossil fuels. This study investigated the occurrence of PAHs in aquatic …

Zeolites with the three-dimensional structures occur naturally or can be synthesized in the
laboratory. Zeolites have versatile applications such as environmental remediation, catalytic …

As a scarce natural resource, the preservation of water quality is of fundamental importance
to guarantee its availability for future generations. Due to the increasing industrial activity …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic micro pollutants which are persistent
compounds in the environment due to their hydrophobic nature. Concerns over their …

This is a review of recent literature on pristine and specifically functionalized mesoporous
silica-based materials or 'designer silicates' used as adsorbents for aqueous pollutants …

Anionic surfactants are widely used as an effective chemical for enhanced oil recovery
because of their unique characteristics of reducing interfacial tension (IFT) between the …

Adsorption of surfactants onto reservoir rock surface may result in the loss and reduction of
their concentrations in surfactant flooding, which may render them less efficient or ineffective …

Surfactants play a vital role in chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR). The amount of
surfactant loss caused by retention during flooding through reservoir rock is still a challenge …

Periodic Mesoporous Organosilicas (PMOs) were developed in 1999 and are basically
ordered templated mesoporous organosilicas, prepared by the combination of a surfactant …

Abstract A novel N, N-dimethyl dehydroabietylamine oxide (DAAO) surfactant was
synthesized via alkylation and oxidation of dehydroabietylamine. A series of surfactant …
