Widespread use of petrochemicals often leads to accidental releases in aquatic environments, occasionally with disastrous results. We have developed a hydrophobic and oleophilic mesh that separates oil from water continuously in situ via capillary action, ...
Associated gases at oil wells are often rich in heavy hydrocarbons (HHC, here denoting hydrocarbons heavier than methane). HHC may cause handling and combustion difficulties as their properties are different from standard natural gas, therefore HHC rich as ...

The performance of the high-field Orbitrap Fourier transform mass spectrometer (FTMS) is evaluated in the context of petroleum sample analysis. Pertinent characteristics including resolving power, mass accuracy, and spectral dynamic range are tested with r ...
Molecular simulations and NMR relaxometry experiments demonstrate that pure benzene or xylene confined in isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) exhibit true vapor-liquid phase equilibria where the effective critical point may be reduced by tuning ...
The stepped spillway design has been used for more than 3,300 years. A simple structure is the gabion stepped weir. A laboratory study was performed herein in a large size facility. Three gabion stepped weirs were tested with and without capping, as well a ...
Important properties of a crude oil, such as viscosity, are determined by the crude oil's chemical constituents. In particular, viscosity is highly dependent on the asphaltene content. Various processes that act on reservoir crude oils can alter chemical c ...
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 ...
During the first hours after release of petroleum at sea, crude oil hydrocarbons partition rapidly into air and water. However limited information is available about very early evaporation and dissolution processes. We report on the composition of the oil ...
We present Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations-combined with metadynamics-of the reactions accompanying the capture of in an aqueous amine solution. The selected amine is 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, which has been investigated experimentall ...
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) depends on the in situ microbial activity to release trapped oil in reservoirs. In practice, undesired consumption is a universal phenomenon but cannot be observed effectively in small-scale physical simulations due t ...
