The rapidly expanding global energy demand is forcing a release of regulated pollutants
into water that is threatening human health. Among various wastewater remediating …

With the increasing demand for efficient extraction of residual oil, enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) offers prospects for producing more reservoirs' original oil in place. As one of the most …

Water corrosion and dendrite growth seriously break the zinc plating/strip** process at the
electrolyte/anode interface, causing the instability of the zinc metal anode of aqueous zinc …

Due to the slow dynamics of mass and charge transfer at Zn| electrolyte interface, the stable
operation of Zn–air batteries (ZABs) is challenging, especially at low temperature. Herein …

Surfactant flooding is an important technique used in enhanced oil recovery to reduce the
amount of oil in pore space of matrix rock. Surfactants are injected to mobilize residual oil by …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

Surfactants have been commonly used as corrosion inhibitors for the protection of metallic
materials against corrosion. The amphiphilic nature of surfactant molecules creates an …

Nanoparticles-stabilized foam has recently attracted increasing attention for enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) applications, largely due to the potentially high stability of these foams in the …

The dendrite growth on the surface of zinc anodes and formation of inactive by-products of
Zn 4 (OH) 6 SO 4. xH 2 O (ZHS), mainly attributed to the “tip effect” of an uneven surface and …

Oil and grease (O&G) is a class of pollutants with very low affinity to water. Their removal
from wastewaters is often challenging and involves the combination of different treatment …
