Dispersion of asphaltene in crude oil using ionic liquids (ILs) is being considered as a viable solution, in extraction and transportation processes. In this work, the interplay between asphaltene and ILs has been studied systematically to understand…
Precipitation of asphaltenes in oil fields represents interfacial phenomena of great concern for oil industry. Oil production decreases due to the obstruction of reservoir rock pores by asphaltene blockage. Futhermore, the phenomena of wettability…
