Kinetics of methane hydrate formation in rhamnolipid solution

Abstract Solidified natural gas (SNG) offers a promising route for natural gas storage and transportation, but its practical application is hindered by slow hydrate formation kinetics and the environmental concerns of chemical surfactants. This study investigates the environmenta...

Montmorillonite Nanosheets as an Accelerator for Low-TemperatureZinc Phosphate Coatings with Improved Corrosion Resistance

Abstract Traditional zinc phosphating requires high temperatures and toxic nitrite accelerators. In this study, montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets, a low-cost two-dimensional layered silicate, are introduced as a green nucleating agent to accelerate low-temperature (40 ± 2 °C) phos...
