RETRACTED: Striking behavior of the rheology in heavy crude oils by adding nanoparticles

Abstract

At the request of the Publisher, the following article has been retracted for redundant publication.Taborda EA, Franco CA, Ruiz AM, Alvarado V, Cortés FB (2017) Striking behavior of the rheology in heavy crude oils by adding nanoparticles. Adsorption Science & Technology. Epub ahead of print 29 August 2017. DOI: 10.1177/0263617417727996 .After publication, the Adsorption Science & Technology Editorial Office became aware that this article had been simultaneously submitted to Adsorption Science & Technology, and two other journals: Chemical Engineering Communications and Energy Fuels, which resulted in the redundant publication of the above article.The above article is near-identical to the following articles published by the same group of authors in Chemical Engineering Communications and Energy & Fuels.Taborda EA, Franco CA, Ruiz AM, Alvarado V, Cortés FB (2017) Anomalous Heavy-Oil Rheological Thinning Behavior upon Addition of Nanoparticles: Departure from Einstein’s Theory.
