Carbon nanotubes exhibit very unique properties in biphasic systems. Their interparticle attraction leads to reduced droplet coalescence rates and corresponding improvements emulsion stability. Here we use covalent noncovalent techniques modify the hydrophilicity of multiwalled carbon (MWCNTs) study their resulting behavior at an oil-water interface. By using both paraffin wax/water dodecane/water systems, thickness layer MWNTs interface stability are shown vary significantly with approach...
Oil and gas production wells generate large volumes of water mixed with hydrocarbons (dispersed dissolved), salts (ions), solids. This ‘produced water’ (PW) is a waste stream that must be disposed appropriately. The presence toxic ions in PW makes it unsuitable for surface discharge or disposal groundwater resources. Thus, often injected into deep geological formations as method. However, the supply global sources diminishing, demand industrial, domestic, agricultural use water-stressed...
Multiphase fluids are frequently encountered in numerous industries, yet there is a limited understanding of gas evolution behavior these applications. Various physicochemical factors can impact the rate from supersaturated solutions. Exploring parameters that critical to better understand process. This study specifically focuses on elucidating pressure and oil concentration behavior. Exxsol D-110, model oil, was used investigate emulsion properties rate. The research explored water-in-oil...
Clathrate hydrates are non-stoichiometric, ice-like crystalline solids that can lead to plugging of crude oil pipelines. In addition, wax deposition leads partial or complete blockage Crude is a complex hydrocarbon mixture includes asphaltenes, aromatics, naphthenes, resins, and paraffins. Deconvoluting the effects solid particles surfactants present in on hydrate formation would improve prediction strategies. A fundamental investigation using model was carried out (i) deconvolute effect...
Efficient phase separation of oil and water in emulsions is critical for treatment hydrocarbon processing. Our research aims at elucidating the water-in-oil using silica nanoparticles (SNPs). By probing surfactant–nanoparticle interactions, we show that surfactant-stabilized can be destabilized depending on nanoparticle wettability mode addition. The efficiency to demulsify depended both surfactant concentration. Water-in-oil were when partially hydrophobic added emulsion after formation...
Zwitterionic microscale hydrogel for delivery of monoclonal antibodies.
Water-in-oil emulsions are of particular interest concerning methane hydrate formation during crude oil production. The objective this work is to understand the morphology hydrate/water drops in water-in-oil emulsions. Hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) used directly measure hydrates A 2 MHz NMR spectrometer investigate relationship between drop size distributions and formation. two model measured by pulsed-field gradient with diffusion editing technique. This technique particularly...
