Industrial developments in the oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food sector
have contributed to the large production of oily wastewater worldwide. Oily wastewater …

The development and production of oil and gas fields would eventually result in a
considerable amount of oily generated water, posing serious risks to humans and the …

The effect of a cationic surfactant, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), on low-rank
coal flotation using an oily collector (dodecane) was investigated by a combination of …

A superamphiphobic surface is a special wettability surface that repels liquids with lower
surface tension than water. Superamphiphobic surface has a variety of applications, such …

As non-renewable natural resources, minerals are essential in a broad range of biological
and technological applications. The surface interactions of mineral particles with other …

Flotation is the main method for recovering and reusing fine low-rank coal by taking
advantage of the difference in physicochemical properties of the mineral surface, but its …

The utilization of an appropriate collector or surfactant is crucial for the beneficiation of low-
rank coal. However, in previous studies, the selection of surfactants was primarily based on …

Here, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS), flotation experiments, and low-rank coal (LRC) particle-bubble attachment …

Rheological properties and the interaction between air bubbles and solid particles are
important factors influencing the air bubble system in air-entrained concrete. The former may …

Coal fly ash, the main industrial waste in coal-fired power plants generated during the coal
combustion, usually re-utilized as raw materials in construction industry. However, a lot of …
