Determination of pore network accessibility in hierarchical porous solids (2017)
Journal Article
Rigby, S. P., Hasan, M., Stevens, L., Williams, H. E., & Fletcher, R. S. (2017). Determination of pore network accessibility in hierarchical porous solids. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 56(50), 14822-14831. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.7b04659

This paper validates the hypothesis that the supposedly non-specific adsorbates nitrogen and argon wet heavy metals differently, and shows how this unexpected effect can be actively utilised to deliver information on pore inter-connectivity. To explo... Read More about Determination of pore network accessibility in hierarchical porous solids.

Dynamic simulation of the THAI heavy oil recovery process (2017)
Journal Article
Rabiu Ado, M., Greaves, M., & Rigby, S. P. (2017). Dynamic simulation of the THAI heavy oil recovery process. Energy and Fuels, 31(2), 1276-1284. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.6b02559

Toe-to-Heel Air Injection (THAI) is a variant of conventional In-Situ Combustion (ISC) that uses a horizontal production well to recover mobilised partially upgraded heavy oil. It has a number of advantages over other heavy oil recovery techniques su... Read More about Dynamic simulation of the THAI heavy oil recovery process.
