Abstract:
The present invention concerns a process for developing a subterranean formation, in which at least one fluid is injected. In accordance with the invention, the fluid comprises at least one additive, the additive being labelled with at least one luminescent semiconductor nanocrystal (fluorescent or phosphorescent). In this manner, and by optical analysis of the presence of luminescent semiconductor nanocrystal in the fluid recovered from the subterranean formation, the presence and/or quantity of additive in the recovered fluid can be determined. Given that the semiconductor nanocrystal is either phosphorescent or fluorescent, the additive is rendered readily detectable and quantitatively determinable in the fluids recovered from the subterranean formation.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a novel material comprising at least one zeolite shaped with a binder formulation comprising at least one hydraulic binder. The invention also concerns a process for the preparation of said material, comprising at least one step for mixing at least one powder of at least one zeolite with at least one powder of at least one hydraulic binder and at least one solvent, and a step for shaping the mixture obtained from the mixing step, preferably by pelletization or by extrusion.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a fluid which is suitable for the decontamination of heat engines which can carry out both the catalytic reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contained in exhaust gases and assist in the regeneration of the particulate filter (PF), said fluid being in the form of a stable suspension of colloidal particles, these colloidal particles being dispersed in an aqueous solution containing at least one reducing agent or at least one precursor of a reducing agent for NOx. The invention also describes several embodiments for the preparation of said fluid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing a novel material comprising at least one crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid material (MHOIC) formed with a binding formulation comprising at least one hydraulic binder, said process comprising at least one step of mixing at least one powder of at least one crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid material with at least one powder of at least one hydraulic binder in the absence of solvent, followed by a step of forming, preferably by pelletizing in the absence of solvent or by granulation, the mixture obtained at the end of the mixing step.
