Demulsification and recycling of spent oil based drilling fluid as nanofiller for polyamide 6 nanocomposites. (2016)
Thesis
ADEGBOTOLU, U.V. 2016. Demulsification and recycling of spent oil based drilling fluid as nanofiller for polyamide 6 nanocomposites. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Spent oil-based drilling fluid and cutting wastes are global liabilities due to their hazardous hydrocarbon content, which impacts negatively on flora, fauna, and global carbon footprint. The formulation of two demulsifiers to ensure chemically-enhan... Read More about Demulsification and recycling of spent oil based drilling fluid as nanofiller for polyamide 6 nanocomposites..

Journal Article
ADEGBOTOLU, U.V., NJUGUNA, J., POLLARD, P. and YATES, K. 2014. Waste to want: polymer nanocomposites using nanoclays extracted from oil based drilling mud waste. IOP conference series: materials science and engineering [online], 64, Article 012023. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/64/1/012023

Due to the European Union (EU) waste frame work directive (WFD), legislations have been endorsed in EU member states such as UK for the Recycling of wastes with a vision to prevent and reduce landfilling of waste. Spent oil based drilling mud (drilli... Read More about Waste to want: polymer nanocomposites using nanoclays extracted from oil based drilling mud waste..
