Evaluation of a Naturally-derived Deflocculant (Terminalia Chebula) in Bentonite Dispersions

Jalal Neshat; Seyed Reza Shadizadeh

Volume 5, Issue 2 , April 2016, Pages 21-44

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2016.15788

Abstract
  The unwanted addition of salt to drilling causes flocculation which has an adverse effect on mud rheological properties. To treat the flocculated mud chemical, deflocculants are commonly used; however, their disadvantages such as negative environmental effects, lower tolerance to contamination, and toxicity ...  Read More

Behrouz Bayati; Mahboobeh Ejtemaei; Nazanin Charchi Aghdam; Ali Akbar Babaluo; Mohammad Haghighi; Amir Sharafi

Volume 5, Issue 2 , April 2016, Pages 84-99

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2016.15800

Abstract
  The hydroisomerization of pure n-pentane over H-mordenite supported Pt-catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed reactor by changing reaction parameters such as temperature, pressure, and WHSV, as well as the H2/HC ratio. The maximum yield of isopentane over Pt/mordenite catalyst was achieved at 220 °C ...  Read More

Preparation and Characterization of Structure and Corrosion Resistivity of Polyurethane /Montmorillonite/Cerium Nitrate Nanocomposites

Iman Moghri; Mansoor Farzam; Mohammadreza Shishesaz; Davood Zaarei

Volume 5, Issue 2 , April 2016, Pages 100-110

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2016.15801

Abstract
  In this study, nanocomposite coatings based on polyurethane cerium nitrate montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared, applied on carbon steel substrates, and investigated. The nanocomposite coatings were successfully prepared by the effective dispersing of nanoparticles in polyurethane resin by mechanical ...  Read More
