TL;DR: In this article, two brine-filled depressions have been identified in the eastern Mediterranean -the Tyro Basin (33°53′N, 26°02′E) and the Bannock Basin (34°20′ N, 20°02´E).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a model for the prediction of the thermodynamic properties of multicomponent aqueous solutions and discuss its applications. But their model was initially developed for solutions near room temperature, but has been found to be applicable to aaqueous systems up to 300/sup 0/C or slightly higher.
Abstract: The paper describes a model for the prediction of the thermodynamic properties of multicomponent aqueous solutions and discusses its applications. The model was initially developed for solutions near room temperature, but has been found to be applicable to aqueous systems up to 300/sup 0/C or slightly higher. A liquid-like density and relatively small compressibility are assumed. A typical application is the prediction of the equilibrium between an aqueous phase (brine) and one or more solid phases (minerals). (ACR)

TL;DR: Light is shed on significance of interface viscoelasticity in oil recovery by change in salt concentration and by addition of a small amount of a nonionic surfactant.
Abstract: Injection of optimized chemistry water in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has gained much interest in the past few years. Crude oil–water interfaces can have a viscoelastic character affected by the adsorption of amphiphilic molecules. The brine concentration as well as surfactants may strongly affect the fluid–fluid interfacial viscoelasticity. In this work we investigate interfacial viscoelasticity of two different oils in terms of brine concentration and a nonionic surfactant. We correlate these measurements with oil recovery in a glass-etched flow microchannel. Interfacial viscoelasticity develops relatively fast in both oils, stabilizing at about 48 h. The interfaces are found to be more elastic than viscous. The interfacial elastic (G′) and viscous (G″) moduli increase as the salt concentration decreases until a maximum in viscoelasticity is observed around 0.01 wt % of salt. Monovalent (Na+) and divalent (Mg2+) cations are used to investigate the effect of ion type; no difference is observed at low sal...

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of brine temperature, salt concentration, running time and the addition of ethanol on the flux of composite membranes have been investigated, and it was shown that the composite membrane did not deteriorate by adopting an additional hydrophilic membrane although durability was obviously improved.

TL;DR: In this paper, an electrodialyzer which consisted of five pieces of cation-exchange membranes (CEMs) and four pieces of anion exchange membranes (AEMs), was used to treat concentrated brine of RO plant.
