Modeling the separation of water‐in‐oil emulsions in continuously fed gravity settlers using millifluidic experiments

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

Polyethylene and Polyvinyl Chloride-Blended Polystyrene Nanofibrous Sorbents and Their Application in the Removal of Various Oil Spills

Advances in Polymer Technology, 2020
Polymers provide a wide range of properties, and these properties can be greatly enhanced and modified through polymer blending. Polymer blending combines the properties and advantages of their original polymers. This paper showcases hydrophobic polymers

Oil Spillage and Heavy Metals Toxicity Risk in the Niger Delta, Nigeria

Journal of Health and Pollution, 2018
Background. Heavy metals are known to elicit toxic effects which negatively affect human health. Crude oil is known to contain heavy metals and oil spills contaminate the environment and can result in human exposures to heavy metals. As the seat of crude

Oil Spills- Where We Were, Where We Are, And Where We Will Be? A Bibliometric and Content Analysis Discourse [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
More frequently and in more ways than one might think, oil spills are a very common phenomenon. There were three major (>700 tonnes; Asia and Africa) and four minor oil spills only in 2022 (between 7 and 700 tonnes; North America, Asia, and Africa).

Quantification of Sulfonated Polyacrylamides by SEC‐UV in Produced Water: Validation and Oilfield Case Study

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Size exclusion chromatography with UV–vis detection, combined with ultrasonication pretreatment, enables sensitive detection and quantification of back‐produced polymer at very low concentrations in produced water. This approach supports reliable polymer monitoring and offers a practical route to improve surveillance of polymer flooding performance ...

Charge-Coupled Frequency Response Multispectral Inversion Network-Based Detection Method of Oil Contamination on Airport Runway

Sensors
Aircraft failures can result in the leakage of fuel, hydraulic oil, or other lubricants onto the runway during landing or taxiing. Damage to fuel tanks or oil lines during hard landings or accidents can also contribute to these spills.

Digital innovation for a greener future: the role of artificial intelligence in Europe's biofuel transition

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) development and biofuel production using a balanced panel dataset of 12 European Union (EU) countries over the 2008–2024 period. Employing feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation with distributed lag specifications, the analysis controls for Renewable ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference
