Process optimization for zero-liquid discharge desalination of shale gas flowback water under uncertainty (2017)
Journal Article
Onishi, V. C., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Salcedo-Díaz, R., Carrero-Parreño, A., Reyes-Labarta, J. A., Fraga, E. S., & Caballero, J. A. (2017). Process optimization for zero-liquid discharge desalination of shale gas flowback water under uncertainty. Journal of

Sustainable and efficient desalination is required to treat the large amounts of high-salinity flowback water from shale gas extraction. Nevertheless, uncertainty associated with well data (including water flowrates and salinities) strongly hampers t...

Could Sci-Hub become a quicksand for authors? (2017)
Journal Article
Novo, L. A. B., & Onishi, V. C. (2017). Could Sci-Hub become a quicksand for authors?. Information Development, 33(3), 324-325. https://doi.org/10.1177/0266666917703638

Sci-Hub has shaken the pillars of scholarly publishing, providing free access to millions of paywall-protected scientific articles. Along the way, it has also challenged the hegemony of major publishers and a system propelled by scientometrics. Here... Read More about Could Sci-Hub become a quicksand for authors?.

Optimal Pretreatment System of Flowback Water from Shale Gas Production (2017)
Journal Article
Carrero-Parreño, A., Onishi, V. C., Salcedo-Díaz, R., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Fraga, E. S., Caballero, J. A., & Reyes-Labarta, J. A. (2017). Optimal Pretreatment System of Flowback Water from Shale Gas Production. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research,

Shale gas has emerged as a potential resource to transform the global energy market. Nevertheless, gas extraction from tight shale formations is only possible after horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, which generally demand large amounts of...
