Fractal dimension of pore space in carbonate samples from Tushka area (Egypt)

A researcher at the Egyptian Institute for Petroleum Research, in collaboration with a number of German researchers and a Chinese researcher, has been able to present a definition and methods of measuring the fracture dimension. Three different methods including mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and nitrogen adsorption (BET) were applied to determine the fractal… Read More »

Performance of Centaurea Cyanus Aqueous Extract Towards Corrosion Mitigation of Carbon Steel in Saline Formation Water

Researchers at the Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute in collaboration with a researcher in the Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University  have been able to  investigate and evaluate the performance of natural aqueous cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) extract (CFE) to mitigate carbon steel corrosion in harsh saline formation water. Weight loss measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization… Read More »

Azeotrope Formation and Distillation Curve of Gasoline –Alcohol Mixtures

Researchers at the Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute have been able to Mix alcohol with hydrocarbon base gasoline causes an increase in the vapour pressure of the mixture. This is because alcohol (methanol or ethanol) combines with certain low molecular weight Hydrocarbons to form azeotropes. Azeotropes have lower boiling points than the hydrocarbons from which they are made, resulting… Read More »
