Abstract Due to its extensive use in shale gas exploration and development, oil-based drilling fluids generate large amounts of oil-bearing drill cuttings during the drilling process. The large amount of oil-bearing drill cuttings generated during the drilling process can lead to serious secondary contamination. In this study, a wetting agent FSC-6 with good hydrophobic and oleophobic properties was synthesized to construct an efficient oil removal system. For the first time, the mechanism of this system was analyzed by using the theory of adhesion function, interfacial tension and wettability. At the same time, a combined acoustic-chemical treatment process was applied to the… More >

Abstract Ultrasonic cleaners are devices that perform ultrasonic cleaning by using ultrasonic converters. Ultrasonic cleaners have been employed to clean dirty and rusty materials such as optic, jewelers, automotive and dental prosthesis sectors. Due to non-identified correctly cleaning time, cavitation erosion has been occurred at some materials, which desire for cleaning. In this study, an intelligent cleaning device that runs autonomously identified cleaning time, saves energy, and makes the cleaning process safely has been designed and implemented. An ultrasonic cleaning time has been adjusted automatically by monitoring of turbidity and conductivity values of liquid that is put in to the cleaning… More >
