A review on methods of determining onset of asphaltene precipitation
Oil industry suffers from flow assurance problems that occur both in upstream and downstream operations. One of the common flow assurance issues arises from precipitation and deposition of asphaltenes in various locations along the oil production path ...

ABSTRACT Conventional geochemical biomarkers include saturated, aromatic, and carboxylic acid compounds. Saturated and aromatic biomarkers, however, form the foundation of many geochemical studies because of their abundance and intrinsic significance.

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Electrospinning
Abstract Electrospinning produces micro‐ and nanofibres by forcing a polymeric solution through a fine needle in an electric field that produces a filament that accumulates onto a collector plate. The fibre morphology depends on solution properties, distance between needle and plate, feed rate, and electric field intensity.

Computer Simulation of Asphaltenes
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 ...

Bitumen Emulsion—Mineral Surface Interactions: An NMR Study on the Interface Layer Composition
We describe a 1H NMR approach to study the interface layer formed by a specified bitumen emulsion in the presence of non‐magnetic as well as magnetic minerals. This approach is based on the consecutive flushing off “bulky” components of the bitumen emulsion and the following extraction of the surface layer material, which can then be analyzed by NMR ...

Abstract The Permian–Triassic environmental crisis triggered fundamental changes in marine ecosystems, culminating in the most severe biodiversity crisis of the Phanerozoic. Yet, the environmental and geochemical conditions governing the crisis and ecosystem recovery remain debated.

Evaluation of the Influence of Antifoam Formulations on Asphaltene Aggregates Using AFM and SEM‐EDS
ABSTRACT Asphaltenes, naturally occurring surfactants in crude oil play a pivotal role in stabilizing oily foams during primary oil processing. Accordingly, understanding how antifoam formulations influence asphaltene aggregation is essential. This study investigates the effect of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with varying molar masses on asphaltene ...

Review of Flash Joule Heating for the Synthesis of Graphene and Other Functional Carbon Materials
ABSTRACT Flash Joule heating (FJH), as a high‐efficiency and low‐energy consumption technology for advanced materials synthesis, has shown significant potential in the synthesis of graphene and other functional carbon materials. Based on the Joule effect, the solid carbon sources can be rapidly heated to ultra‐high temperatures (> 3000 K) through ...
