AbstractWith hydrophobic associating polymer (BCG-1) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) solution as the object, this work studies the different polymer concentration and surfactant concentration on the influence law of fluid properties and examines the sand sedimentation rate and the correlation of fluid properties. After the liquid was tested by electron microscope and rheometer, it was found that the interaction between the surfactant and the polymer is with phases, which provided different angles for revealing the change rule of the deposition rate of sand. When the concentration of SDBS solution is in the second phase (0.05–0.2%), although the system property changes slightly and the microscopic morphology does not change greatly, the deposition rate of sand still decreases significantly. Relaxation time spectrometry explains that the reduction in the sedimentation rate of the sand is caused by the shift of the polymer chain motion mode, whereas the phase angle can clearly manifest this change, and the phase angle is highly correlated with the deposition rate of sand.

Summary In this paper, the reservoir characteristics and fluid properties of a reservoir of the Bohai Sea oil field were taken as the research platform. It was confirmed that there exists compatibility between hydrophobically-associating-polymer (HAP) molecular aggregation and pore-throat size. The experiment for oil displacement in heterogeneous cores indicated that there exists applicability of HAP for a heterogeneous reservoir and the applicability can be influenced by polymer concentration. The experiment for oil displacement of parallel cores demonstrated the effect of polymer concentration on the applicability of HAP for reservoir heterogeneity from two aspects of the dynamic behavior of oil displacement and the effectiveness of oil displacement. The results show that with the increase of HAP concentration, the association degree between polymer molecules increases, molecular-clew dimension enlarges, and the compatible size of pore throats of the core increases. The change of HAP concentration not only has an effect on the amount of liquid suctioned by different permeability layers and on the time of profile inversion, but also has an effect on the displacement ability of polymer solution within different layers. As polymer concentration changes, the adaptability of HAP for reservoir heterogeneity changes and the oil-recovery efficiency also changes.

Abstract Background Predatory flagellates and ciliates are two common bio-contaminants which frequently cause biomass losses in Chlorella mass culture. Efficient and targeted ways are required to control these contaminations in Chlorella mass cultivation aiming for biofuel production especially. Results Five surfactants were tested for its ability to control bio-contaminations in Chlorella culture. All five surfactants were able to eliminate the contaminants at a proper concentration. Particularly the minimal effective concentrations of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) to completely eliminate Poterioochromonas sp. and Hemiurosomoida sp. were 8 and 10 mg L−1, respectively, yet the photosynthesis and viability of Chlorella was not significantly affected. These results were further validated in Chlorella mass cultures in 5, 20, and 200 m2 raceway ponds. Conclusions A chemical method using 10 mg L−1 SDBS as pesticide to control predatory flagellate or ciliate contamination in Chlorella mass culture was proposed. The method helps for a sustained microalgae biomass production and utilization, especially for biofuel production.

A novel flow configuration was explored for the study of the behavior of drag reducing polymers. A screw pump consisting of a smooth cylinder and a concentrically placed screw was used to create a strongly three-dimensional but essentially laminar flow. In the first phase of the study, the static pressure head developed by the screw pump was measured as a function of polymer concentration (polyox 10 to 100 ppm in water). A large increase of the developed head was observed that behaved in an analogous manner to drag reduction as far as concentration and straining of the polymer solution was concerned. In the second phase of the study, a new apparatus was constructed and the additional parameter of a superimposed through flow was included and the degree of failure of the superposition principle was established. Sensitivity of the phenomenon to chemicals like HCl, HNO3, and NaOH in the polymer solution was also studied. When the effect of these chemicals on the polymer solution flow behavior was presented in terms of the pH value of the polymer solution, it showed a similar trend to those observed in drag reduction.

MgB2 /carbon fibers have been synthesized by the combination of RF-sputtering of B and thermal evaporation of Mg , followed by co-evaporation. First, boron layer was deposited by RF-sputtering on the carbon fiber with average diameter of 7.1 μm. Later this coated layer of B was reacted with Mg vapor to transform into MgB2 . Since the MgB2 reaction proceed with Mg diffusion into the boron layer, Mg vapor pressure and the diffusion time had to be controlled precisely to secure the complete reaction. Also the deposition rate of each element was controlled separately to obtain stoichiometric MgB2 , since Mg was evaporated by thermal heating and B by sputtering system. The sintered B target was magnetron sputtered at the RF-power of ~200 W, which corresponded to the deposition rate of ~3.6 Å/s. With the deposition rate of B fixed, the vapor pressure of Mg was controlled by varying the temperature of tungsten boat with heating element control unit between 100 and 900°C. The MgB2 layers with the thickness of 200–950 nm could be obtained and occasionally MgO appeared as a second phase. Superconducting transition temperatures were measured around ~38 K depending on the deposition condition.

In this paper,the effect of surfactant to the infiltration and the change of saturated hydraulic conductivity was studied by GUELPH PERMEAMETER. We investigated effects on soil infiltration by three representative surfactants.The results show that the existing of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide bromide (CTAB) and polyxyethylene fatty alcohol (AEO9) would decrease soil saturated hydraulic conductivity.
