Aggregation of model asphaltenes – a molecular dynamics study [PDF]
Natural asphaltenes are defined as polyaromatic compounds whose chemical composition and structure is dependent on its geological origin and production history, hence are regarded as complex molecules with aromatic cores and aliphatic tails that occur in

Characterisation of an algerian asphaltene by 1H and 13C CPMAS NMR, DEPT and ESI mass spectroscopy
Quantitative liquid 1H and solid 13C CPMAS NMR spectroscopy were used in combination with qualitative DEPT (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer) and liquid 13C NMR to investigate the molecular structural parameters of an Algerian ...

Medium dependence of asphaltene agglomeration inhibitor efficiency
Applying chemical additives (molecule inhibitors or dispersants) is one of the common ways to control asphaltene agglomeration and precipitation. However, it is not clear why at some conditions the synthetic flocculation inhibitors as well as resins not ...

Understanding mechanisms of asphaltene adsorption from organic solvent on mica [PDF]
The adsorption process of asphaltene onto molecularly smooth mica surfaces from toluene solutions of various concentrations (0.01-1 wt %) was studied using a surface forces apparatus (SFA).

Pyrolysis of asphaltenes and biomarkers for the fingerprinting of the _Amoco Cadiz_ oil spill after 23 years [PDF]
The chemical composition of the petroleum products accidently or deliberately released in the environment varies considerably with time under the action of biological (biodegradation) and physico-chemical (photo-oxidation) processes.

Investigation of the fluid behavior of asphaltenes and toluene insolubles by high-temperature proton nuclear magnetic resonance and rheometry and their application to visbreaking [PDF]
The fluid behavior of asphaltenes at elevated temperatures impacts coke formation in a number of hydrocarbon conversion processes, including visbreaking and delayed coking. In this study, the asphaltenes from a number of sources, namely, a vacuum residue,
