Enhancing In Situ Burning With Ferrocene for Improved Combustion and Reduced Smoke Production

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 5949-5969, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In situ burning (ISB) is an efficient response strategy for oil spills; however, incomplete combustion and excessive smoke production hinder its wider application. In this study, the effectiveness of using ferrocene as additives to improve the thermal behaviors and kinetics of combustion of different crude oils (Hibernia, Hebron, Dilbit and ...

Organic alkalis as potential additives in hot water flooding for enhancing heavy oil recovery

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 103, Issue 8, Page 3955-3970, August 2025.
Abstract Alkali–surfactant–polymer (ASP) flooding is a chemical enhanced oil recovery method; its working mechanisms include mobility control, wettability alteration, and in‐situ emulsification. However, conventional alkalis used in the ASP flooding could cause some serious issues, including scaling, formation damage, and pipe corrosion. In this study,
