This comprehensive review examines the phenomena of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (Cl-SCC) in materials commonly used in the oil and gas industry, with a focus on austenitic stainless steels. The study...

The corrosion of metals is very important, both economically and environmentally, and is a serious concern. Since the past decades, traditional (chemical) corrosion inhibitors to prevent corrosion have been and are still being used. Although these in...

In recent years, biochar has emerged as a remarkable biosourced material for addressing global environmental, agricultural, biomedical, and energy challenges. However, the performances of biochar rest in part on finely tuning its surface chemical pro...

Porous carbon is an emerging material for the capture of CO2 from point sources of emissions due to its high structural, mechanical, and chemical stability, along with reusability advantages. Currently, research efforts are mainly focused on high- or...

The hard anodizing treatments of cast Al-Si alloys are notoriously difficult. Indeed, their microstructural features hinder the growth of a uniform, compact, and defect-free anodic oxide. In this paper, AlSi10Mg samples, produced via Gravity Casting...

In recent years, research has aimed to enhance the environmental friendliness of activated carbon by modifying its surface properties to effectively capture specific harmful gases. This study’s primary goal is to swiftly introduce oxygen functi...

One of the alternative materials used for conducting conservation treatment of iron artifacts is the rust converter, since it generates barrier properties and more stable oxides. The protective properties and surface modifications from using Mimosa t...

Society confronts the pressing environmental challenges posed by the pervasive presence of toxic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. The repercussions of contaminant release extend far and wide, endangering marine life and human well-being. While vario...

This review examines recent methodologies for fabricating nonwoven polymer materials through electrospinning, focusing on the underlying physical principles, including the effects of external parameters, experimental conditions, material selection, a...

Piping system failures in process industries pose significant financial, environmental, and social risks, with inadequate design and corrosion being major contributors. This review synthesizes the academic and normative literature on pipeline design...
