The environmental impacts of the use of synthetic surfactants are discussed in this work
such as their high levels of toxicity and low biodegradability. These materials destroy aquatic …

The current and prospective worldwide energy demands have led either to start exploiting
the more difficult and costly unconventional oil reserves, or to maximize the exploitation of …

Teachers in higher education have had to become more professional in their approach to
teaching, matching their professionalism in research. The first edition of this book prepares …

The difficulties in sludge dewatering are associated with the high organic content and
colloidal materials in sludge solids. Chemical conditioning by flocculation improves sludge …

A colleague at the Technical University of Denmark has often stated:“Life is too short for
electrolytes”. Another well-known scientist in the field of molecular simulation has recently …

The objective of this research is to examine the influence of surfactant and solution
composition on PFAS adsorption at fluid-fluid interfaces. Surface tensions were measured …

In clinical practice, one objective is to obtain diagnostic information while minimizing the
invasiveness of the tests and the pain for the patients. To this end, tests based on the …

The extended version of the Gibbs adsorption isotherm including dislocations and vacancies
is used to analyse existing experimental data. Thus phenomena and models like solid …

Due to scarcity of fresh water and stringent regulations on the quality of discharged water,
more and more flotation plants have to use groundwater, sea water or recycle water with a …

This paper reports the effects of nanosilica (nS) and silica fume (SF) on rheology, spread on
flow table, compressive strength, water absorption, apparent porosity, unrestrained …
