The application of microfibrillated cellulose and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to obtain heavy crude oil emulsions in water has been considered. First of all, the optimal concentration of cellulose in its aqueous dispersion was studied. A rheological…
The deposition of paraffin on the pipeline surface during crude oil transportation is a significant issue for oil industries. In this regard, the demand for adequate methods of wax deposition has gained considerable attention. In the current work,…
Water cut crude oil needs to be deeply dehydrated before further transportation or refining because water residuals not only tremendously increase the transportation cost and energy consumption, but also harm the oil delivery pipelines and refining…
Formation of water/oil emulsions is a frequent and challenging problem to deal with during crude oil extraction and processing. Crude oil must have water contents (BS&W) below 0,5% to meet transport and export requirements. Lowering BS&W values in…
Storage of cellulose solution can be practically ineluctable before it is manufactured into various regenerated products (e.g., fibers, films), especially in the case of industrial production. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of…
The heterogeneous structure of biomass causes the complex compositions of bio-oil, thereby posing huge challenges for the extraction of value-added chemicals from bio-oil and the catalytic upgrading of bio-oil in existing petroleum-refining…
Cellulose derivatives are widely applied in the field of oil and gas exploration. However, this kind of natural polymers always shows poor temperature resistance due to their organic nature. To improve the temperature resistance of hydroxyethyl…
The aim of the study was to examine the influence of oxygen atmosphere on hydrothermal fractionation of Norway spruce at 130160C and 1-50 bar. The quantitative kinetics and qualitative aspects of the hemicellulose extraction were studied. The results…
A new class of magnetically responsive and interfacially active Janus (MJanus) nanoparticles was designed and synthesized by sequential adsorption of cellulosic materials: hydrophobic ethyl cellulose (EC) and hydrophilic carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)…
This study aimed to suggest a suitable media filter for natural gas filtration using quality factor. The efficiency of five commercial-grade media was investigated at different face velocities (0.39–1.02 m/s) and particle concentrations (55300-377800…
Lignocellulose biomass is a unique renewable and sustainable source that can be used in energy generation, production of transport fuels and in chemical industries to replace petroleum-based resources. However, due to its recalcitrance to chemical…
Removing process water from crude oil emulsions is critically required prior to their downstream processing. In this work, cellulose-coated magnetic Janus nanoparticles (MJ NPs) of asymmetric surface wettability were applied to dewatering crude oil…
Approximately 40% of current global natural gas resources have high H2S and CO2 concentrations. The H2S concentration in Middle East gas reservoirs can potentially reach up to 30 mol%. H2S is toxic
This study aimed to suggest a suitable media filter for natural gas filtration using quality factor. The efficiency of five commercial-grade media was investigated at different face velocities (0.39–1.02 m/s) and particle concentrations (55300-377800…
A wide range of organic-containing wastes exists throughout Europe, the majority of which can be classed as intermediate-level or long-lived low-level waste. In some countries, organic-containing wastes have already been disposed within near-surface…
A facile and environmentally friendly route has been put forward for fabricating regenerated cellulose-based composite films (RC) with graphene oxide addition (GO). Nanocomposite films prepared through the solution blending method of cellulose…

Nanofibers prepared from electrospinning technique has proved their efficiency and effectiveness in a wide spectrum of applications including filtration, biomedical field, energy storage, and conversion protective coating, EMI shielding, etc.,…
Hydrogen is an odorless, colorless, and flammable gas. It is a highly promising clean energy carrier. Hydrogen is a safe, suitable, multipurpose fuel source, which can be converted to a favorite form of energy without releasing harmful emissions.…
A novel approach was introduced to prepare very low density, highly porous, economic, reusable, hydrophobic, and magnetic cellulose aerogels from hardwood dissolving pulp via a simple freeze-drying procedure. The aerogels showed outstanding…
Despite advances in technology and safety measures, accidental releases of crude oil and refined products into marine and freshwater environments remains a major environmental concern. To minimize the impacts of future spills on our aquatic…
The combine utilization of traditional fossil sources and biomass energy is a new idea with great potential. In this study, established the heavy crude oil upgrading system combine with cellulose, and the hydrogen supply effect of catalytic pyrolysis…
