Prospects Of Amino Acids And Ionic Liquids As Natural Gas Hydrate Inhibitors For Offshore Flow Assurance by Qureshi, M. Fahed Aziz

“…The inhibitors tend to show better hydrate inhibition effect at low pressures (40 bars) and their inhibition effect decreases as the pressure rises. At the same concentration (10 wt%), the ammonium-based ionic liquid [EA][Of] provided the inhibition effect similar to MEG and at the higher concentration (20 wt%) the amino acid glycine provided better hydrate inhibition effect than the MEG. …”

Conversion of Organic Municipal Wastes into Biochars and their Effect on Fertility Parameters of Normal and Sabkha Soils of Qatar by Ahmedna, Mohamed

“…To each pot, sufficient amount of 0.25-mm sieved biochar was mixed with soil to yield carbon to soil ratios of 0, 1, and 2% (wt/wt). Box-Behnken experimental design was used instead of the full factorial to decrease the number of treatments to a manageable level (126 treatments) with three replications at the center. …”
