efforts as “recovery”. There are three main types of recovery‚ primary recovery (solution gas‚ gas cap and natural water drive) secondary recovery (gas injection and water flooding) and tertiary recovery (enhanced oil recovery EOR‚ polymer flooding and steam flooding). In this article‚ analysis on the “enhanced oil recovery” technology and trends will be emphasized upon. ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY Enhanced oil recovery becomes very vital when oil production has to be increased to obtain a recovery percentage

ABSTRACT Antibacterial activity of medicnal plants has turned out to be a global concern. Medicnal plants are very useful in treating various diseases. Antibiotics are an important class of pharmacological agents used for treating antibacterial infections. Although antibiotics were first isolated from fungi and bacteria but over the years more and more synthetic antibiotics has been synthesized‚ which are in great demand. This present study has been done to determine the antibacterial activity of

System architecture and design of a power plant. Introduction: A power plant is a means for converting the potential energy (wind‚ solar or chemical) into electrical energy. In its simplest form it consists of steam generation equipment (boiler or nuclear reactor) and a turbine driving an electrical generator. The energy sources available in the world include coal‚ oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ solar‚ refuse-based and biomass. We can broadly categorize power plants into the following

carry 800‚000 barrels a day of toxic tar sands bitumen more than 2‚000 miles across six different states. The tar sands fields located in Alberta‚ Canada consist of about 2 trillion barrels of heavy crude oil covered by the vast Boreal forest. The extraction process would destroy an area larger than the state of Florida and at the same time use vast amounts of natural gas and water recourses. Tar sands oil produces three times the greenhouse gas emissions of conventionally produced oil because of the

Acetylation of Ferrocene 17. October 1996 Experiment #7 Introduction In this lab we will be utilizing the Friedel Crafts process of acetylation of ferrocene. Ferrocene is an atom of iron bounded by two aromatic rings. We will use some reagents that will cause the ferrocene to add either one acetyl group to an aromatic ring or add two acetyl groups to each of the aromatic rings. In order to determine how well this process had worked we employed: IR spectra analysis‚ column chromatography‚

Intro: For centuries up until the present day‚ plants have given us so many things to our society. They can be used as food to give energy or to give cure for some illnesses. It has so many uses which is important for our daily living. The Origanum vulgare‚ also known for its common name Oregano (sometimes called ‘wild marjoram’) is a perennial herb that has been used since Ancient times by the Greeks due to its beneficial effects and prescribed it for a variety of ailments. Two of its major uses

History of Bread Grown in Mesopotamia and Egypt‚ wheat was likely first merely chewed. Later it was discovered that it could be pulverized and made into a paste. Set over a fire‚ the paste hardened into a flat bread that kept for several days. It did not take much of a leap to discover leavened (raised) bread when yeast was accidentally introduced to the paste. Instead of waiting for fortuitous circumstances to leaven their bread‚ people found that they could save a piece of dough from a batch

Synthesis of 1-Bromobutane from 1-Butanol Reference: Discovering Organic Chemistry in the Laboratory; John R. Ganson Ph. D‚ Revised 2011 by Alfredo Mellace Ph. D www.Aldrich.com Purpose: To synthesize 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol via SN2 reaction. Alcohols are converted into the alkyl halides adding an aqueous solution sodium bromide. The sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst in converting the OH functional group of butanol‚ to a better leaving group. In order for this reaction to synthesis 1-Bromobutane

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to observe multi-step purification of benzoic acid after performing the extraction from a mixture containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange. Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The amount of BA recovered during recrystallization is much less than the extracted amount of BA. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure samples will have
