Detailed study on propylene/propane separation by new cellulose acetate/polyethylene glycol/ZIF-8 ternary mixed matrix membrane

open access: yesSustainable Chemistry for Climate Action
Light olefin/paraffin separation is one of the most challenging operations in the petrochemical industry due to the similar physical properties of these gases. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) represent a subclass of membranes with advanced features.

Enhancement of oil recovery by surfactant-polymer synergy flooding: A review

open access: yesPolymers and Polymer Composites, 2022
With the depletion of conventional resources, it is necessary to enhance the recovery of remaining oil. The tertiary oil recovery chemical flooding is the most promising for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

A Counterintuitive Path to Carbon Storage: Leveraging EOR to Future‐Proof US Oilfields for Geologic Carbon Sequestration

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is widely seen as essential to achieving net‐zero emissions, yet its large‐scale deployment remains impractical mainly due to economic and political reasons. In this article, we explore the idea that enhanced oil recovery (EOR) may serve as a pragmatic steppingstone for getting GCS‐ready infrastructure in ...

Experimental assessment of hybrid smart carbonated water flooding for carbonate reservoirs

open access: yesPetroleum, 2021
Different methods of enhanced oil recovery have been used to produce trapped oil. One of these methods is carbonated water injection in which CO2 contained water is injected in reservoirs in order to decrease free CO2 injection mobility, increase water ...

A Review on Carbon Sequestration Techniques From Geological to Biological Methods: Mechanisms, Methods, and Future Perspectives

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study reviews CO2 storage methods: geological (depleted reservoirs, saline aquifers, salt caverns, basalt), oceanic (dissolution, hydrates, phytoplankton), and biological (microalgae like Chlorella and Spirulina with 10–50× higher capture than plants; MICP by Sporosarcina pasteurii).

Effects of conventional and ionic liquid-based surfactants and sodium tetraborate on interfacial tension of acidic crude oil

open access: yesScientific Reports
The application of a new class of surfactants such as ionic liquids (ILs) compared with the conventional surfactants and their interactions with each other concomitant and alkaline under salinities is not well examined based on the best knowledge of the ...

Deterministic Cost Estimation Approaches for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage: A Review

open access: yesGreenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 835-859, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is regarded as a connection between traditional, high‐emission sectors and future green energy. This study encompasses literature from 2003 to early 2026 to review methodologies and formulae used for cost estimating in the various segments of carbon capture, transport, utilization, and storage ...

A Review of Probabilistic and Novel Approaches to Cost Assessment in CCUS Projects

open access: yesGreenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 860-880, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the renewable energy sector is making progress, there is still a long way to go before green energy can be fully utilized. In this context, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies can act as a temporary bridge between a high‐emission past and a low‐emission future.
