... investigated localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) methodologies and fabricated sensors for measuring dissolved sulfides in liquids. The impact of the specificity of sensing materials and the design concepts were investigated. The chemical composition and morphology of the nanoparticles affect...

... In bitumen flotation, ultra-dispersed hydrophilic nanoparticles are found to be capable of stabilizing biwettable ore fines in aqueous phase by adsorbing onto fines surfaces. As a result, fine solids move away from oil/water interfaces reducing slime-coating onto liberated bitumen droplets...

... from first principles calculations, molecular dynamics and Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to explore the potential applications of smart nanofluids in EOR processes. More specifically, we study the role of dispersed functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles in brine to the oil displacement process in clay pore...
