Employing a pilot-scale scrubber packed with a Rashing ring randomly, where experimentally examined the absorption performance of carbon dioxide capturing by using an aqueous solvent of primary and poly alkanol amines; the investigations on carbon dioxide capturing were carried out at atmospheric pressure (1 atm), using simulated feed gas of carbon dioxide balanced with nitrogen. Monoethanolamine, Triethylenetetramine, and Diethylenetriamine are the primary and poly alkanol amine absorbents examined for this work. The impact of operating conditions, including amine inlet concentrations, liquid flow rates, gas flow rate, lean amine loading, inlet carbon dioxide concentration, absorbent temperature, and alkanol amine type, were examined according to the two-film concept. Regarding the removal of carbon dioxide efficiency and volumetric mass transfer coefficient based on the gas side, the absorption performance was presented. A lab-scale investigation revealed that employing DETA absorbent possesses higher carbon dioxide removal efficiency of up to 28.9% and a higher coefficient of mass transfer of up to 165.7% in comparison to conventional MEA absorbent while employing TETA absorbent possesses higher carbon dioxide removal efficiency of up to 18.86% and higher coefficient of mass transfer of up to 69.64% in comparison to the conventional MEA absorbent. Based on these findings, it is reasonable to assume that DETA would serve as an efficient chemical absorbent for the removal of carbon dioxide.

Nanotechnology can be used to develop drilling fluid additives that can improve the drilling fluid's properties. Using two types of nanoparticle (NP) additives in water-based drilling fluids have been studied in this paper. Three major drilling mud systems, namely potassium chloride (KCl) as a basic mud, KCl/aluminum oxide (Al2O3) NPs, and KCl/iron (Fe2O3) NPs, were prepared and studied for enhancement of rheological properties and shale inhibition. It was found that the drilling mud contained NPs in concentrations of 0.25, 0. 5, 0.75, and 1 g. Al2O3 and Fe2O3 NPs added to KCl/polymer mud systems resulted in a 50% and 30% change in shale volume, respectively. The results demonstrated that incorporating NPs into the KCL mud system enhanced shale inhibition. Adding NPs to the KCL-WBM increased yield point, plastic viscosity, and gel strength. The COF of KCL-polymer was reduced by 48% and 34% when added Al2O3 and Fe2O3 NPs at 0.5 and 0.75g, respectively. When Al2O3 and Fe2O3 NPs were used, particularly at 1g, the amount of mud filtration decreased from 13.1ml to 8.8 ml and 8.4 ml, respectively. Overall, it was found that adding Al2O3 and Fe2O3 NPs to the KCl-WBM can improve rheological, swelling, and filtration properties as well as lubrication.
