An essential understanding of the adsorptive phenomena involving nanomaterials and asphaltenes has received considerable attention in oil recovery production applications. Particularly, iron oxide-based nanoparticles have emerged as advanced materials due to their unique physicochemical properties, including thermal conductivity superparamagnetism. On this basis, kinetics adsorption isotherms magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles/asphaltene systems were investigated, well synergistic effect resins...
Abstract Iron titanate mixed metal oxides were synthesized by the sol–gel method through four different routes. The effect of (i) solvent iron precursor, (ii) addition chelating agent to titanium or solution and (iii) molar ratio between precursor over overall percentage obtained titanates was evaluated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) UV–Vis (UV–Vis) performed on reaction medium evidenced formation acetate complexes (IV) (III) during X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns materials...
Ilmenite is one of the most common minerals on earth crust, often found in igneous rocks and black sands alluvial deposits can be located different parts around world; it used as natural source TiO2 Fe catalyst photodegradation processes [1].Research performed at Grupo de Investigación en Química Estructural -GIQUE Investigaciones Minerales, Biohidrometalurgía y Ambiente -GIMBA using ilmenite-rich Barbacoas (Nariño, Colombia) for photocatalytic applications that specific surface area mineral...
