Aluminum production creates a toxic byproduct known as red mud. In an effort to cut down on this waste, researchers have ...
One metal whose growth in the past century has been unsurpassed is aluminium. Its strength and light weight guarantees its demand, especially in transportation where fuel efficiency is paramount. The ...
The properties of lemongrass fibers are being studied as a potential help in preventing fluid circulation problems while drilling for oil and gas. In the oil and gas industry, drilling mud is used to ...
A team of researchers at Rice University has developed a faster and cleaner method for recovering aluminum and removing toxic ...
The process relies on flash Joule heating (FJH), which sends a high-power electrical pulse through the material for less than ...
Canadian clean tech company Orbite Aluminae has developed a patented technology that can treat red mud, the most significant waste product of the traditional Bayer process for aluminium production.
Drilling operations cause changes in wellbore temperatures that can significantly impact effective fracture gradients. For example, circulation on bottom usually produces bottomhole temperatures that ...
Pore pressure and well optimization data from closed-loop circulating provide synergies for managing the production life of a well. Pore pressure and well optimization data from closed-loop ...
