Anthropogenic releases of petroleum fluids, which contain thousands of compounds, represent a threat to marine environments. However, there was a lack of models able to explain the independent behaviors of the numerous compounds of a spilled petroleum flui ...
The catalytic supercritical water gasification of isopropanol (450 degrees C, 30 MPa) over Ru catalysts supported on carbon and metal oxides was performed in a fixed-bed plug flow reactor. The Ru loading was between 1.2 and 2%. The catalyst stability over ...
Field observations indicate that during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident, approximately one quarter of the released petroleum mass became entrapped below the sea surface, but the sequestration mechanisms remain unexplained. A multiphase buoyant plume mo ...
The renewable and non-renewable exergy and CO2 costs of petroleum derived fuels produced in Brazil are evaluated using exergoeconomy to rationally distribute the exergy costs and the CO2 emitted in processes with more than one product. An iterative procedu ...
With the expansion of offshore petroleum exploration and extraction activities, validated models are needed to simulate the behaviors of petroleum compounds released in deep (>100 m) waters. We developed a thermodynamic model of the gas-liquid-water partit ...
With the expansion of offshore petroleum extraction, validated models are needed to simulate the behaviors of petroleum compounds released in deep (>100 m) waters. We present a thermodynamic model of the densities, viscosities, and gas–liquid−water partiti ...
In the last few years, ecofriendly malic acid production has received a potential platform for the bio-based chemicals to replace the dependency of fossil based resources. The main goal of this paper is to explore the feasibility of efficient production of ...
Control and prevention of environmental pollution has become a worldwide issue of concern. Aromatic hydrocarbons including benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene (BTEX) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs), release ...
What are the processes that entrapped more than 100 000 tons of emitted petroleum compounds in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster? We developed a thermodynamic model of the gas-liquid-water partitioning, densit ...
