The precipitation and deposition of asphaltenes often cause great troubles to the recovery and transportation of crude oil. Adding polymer inhibitors is an effective approach to prevent asphaltenes from clogging. In this study, maleic…
A high content of asphaltene and wax in crude oil leads to difficulties in the recovery and transportation of crude oil due to the precipitation of asphaltenes and the deposition of waxes. Comblike polymers were found to be capable of inhibiting the…
This study aims to design a novel green nanocomposite based on the synergistic effect between silica nanoparticles (SN) and cardanol (CDN). The latter is an environmentally friendly dispersant compound extracted from the cashew nut shell waste. Three…
Systems in connection with hydrocarbons with dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) are widespread in various chemical and engineering applications such as Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesizes, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR).…
