Microwave synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery
Synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles to get certain specific characteristics to be applied in Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is still challenging to date. In this work, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol-gel method by dissolving zinc nitrate hexahydrate in nitric acid. The Z...
