Effect of ball milling of fly ash particle size on foam stabilization for EOR applications

In enhanced oil recovery (EOR), nanoparticles have gained the potential to improve foam stability. In this study, the potential of fly ash to produce stable foam by using shaker was studied. Fly ash nanoparticles were developed by the mechanical treatment using ball mill. Sample to ball ratio of 1 t...

Fly ash nanoparticles were developed by the mechanical treatment using ball mill. Sample to ball ratio of 1 to 10 was applied to investigate the effect of ball milling on particle size distribution of fly ash.
