A method combining ultracentrifugation and cloud point extraction is proposed for the separation and determination of Fe, Ni and V porphyrins in crude oil. An emulsion containing about 200 mg of crude oil, 6% (w v1) of Triton X-100, 1.6% (v v1) of…
As an effective anionic surfactant for chemical flooding, petroleum sulfonate (PS) is often used in conjunction with alkalis to reduce the adsorption loss of PS onto rock and clay surfaces. However, alkali injection can lead to scaling, aggravate the…
The current study investigates the synergistic/antagonistic effect of cationic (octyl pyridinium chloride [C8Py][Cl]), anionic (sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)), and nonionic (octyl phenol ethoxylate (Triton-X100)) surfactants on the interfacial tension…
Thallium (Tl) isotope ratios are an emerging tool that can be used to trace crustal recycling processes in arc lavas and ocean island basalts (OIBs). Thallium is a highly volatile metal that is enriched in volcanic fumaroles, but it is unknown…
Because of destructive effects of organic chlorides, elimination of these compounds from contaminated crude oil and its distillates is very crucial for oil refiners. Despite the importance of the subject, limited researches in this field are…
Crude oil palm biomass (OPB) residue is an important source of lignocellulose and could be transformed into biofuels through thermochemical conversion for heat and power in CHP plants or act as sustainable reinforcement in the biocomposite industry.…
To understand the isotope fractionation of methane (CH4) during thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR), isothermal pyrolysis of CH4/N2 gas involving gypsum + MgCl2 and MgSO4 solutions were conducted in a gold-tube system. CH4 was oxidized to generate…
This work focuses on analyzing the electrokinetic behavior of asphaltenes of extra heavy oil. For this, electrodepositions were carried out in asphaltene solutions (4 %w/w) with two solvents of different polarities: toluene and chloroform. In…
The rapid and effective separation of high-viscosity heavy crude oil from seawater is a worldwide challenge. Herein, an ultralow density, photothermal, superhydrophobic, and thermally conductive polyurethane/polyaniline/hexagonal boron…
The paper studies the degree of C2-C4 components redistribution in hydrates during their formation in water and mineralized solutions of hydrocarbonate and chloride types. It was found that in brines of the chloride type, in comparison with…
Standard Bottle Test is often the most common technique to gauge the demulsification performance of a newly formulated crude oil demulsifier. In our work, we have attempted to devise a more specific reliable and reproducible technique for monitoring…
