    Abstract: Evaluation possibility of a low quality Egyptian oil shale from Wadii El-Nakhil, Red sea region as an alternative clean fuel by flotation technique was investigated. Oil shale sample was characterized using XRD and FTIR analyses to determine its mineral content and surface characteristics. XRD analysis showed that the non-clay minerals present in t... Show More

    Abstract: As a result of experiments it was confirmed the unfolding of molecules under wall-adjacent turbulence conditions, as well as it was proved that dynamic structure formation in polymer solutions is occurred under the influence of supercritical longitudinal gradients of speeds. On the basis of data that characterize macromolecule dynamics in non-turbu... Show More
