Petroleum hydrocarbons are a class of anthropogenic compounds including alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, resins, asphaltenes and other organic matters, and soil pollution caused by petroleum hydrocarbons has drawn increasing interest in recent years.…
Recently, global attraction has shifted toward heavy unconventional crude oil due to the depletion of light oil resources. Generally, heavy crude oils are highly viscous in nature
Distinct naphthenic acid (NA) species were isolated from oil sands process water (OSPW) into 20 fractions via silver-ion solid phase extraction, prior to treatment using potassium ferrate(VI). Untreated and treated fractions F1F20 were characterized…
High-pressure direct-injection (HPDI) natural gas engines continue to draw much attention for the highly efficient and clean combustion process compared to traditional diesel engines. However, the real ignition processes of HPDI natural gas engines…
New ignition delay time (IDT) data for stoichiometric natural gas (NG) blends composed of C1-C5 n-alkanes with methane as the major component were recorded using a high pressure shock tube (HPST) at reflected shock pressures (p5) and temperatures…
