An Investigation of the Effect of Asphaltene Polydispersity on Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition Tendencies

open access: yes, 2022
It is well-known that asphaltenes are a polydisperse fraction present in crude oil with a broad distribution of sizes and molecular characteristics. However, in practice, asphaltenes are often treated both in the laboratory and in modeling work as a ...

Computer Simulation of Asphaltenes

open access: yesPetroleum Chemistry, 2018
The review describes theoretical approaches based on computer simulations at various levels of details (from quantum chemical calculations to atomistic and coarse-grained models) to study asphaltenes and systems containing asphaltenes. The used methods are described, their advantages and disadvantages are discussed in terms of computational costs and ...
