Critical Review on the Molecular Behavior of Surfactants at the Oil–Water Interface During Oil Displacement

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1626-1662, March 2026.
This review systematically explores the molecular behavior of diverse surfactants (anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric) at the oil–water interface through molecular dynamics simulations. It highlights their roles in reducing interfacial tension, altering interfacial structure, and enhancing oil recovery efficiency.

Effect of Asphaltenes and Asphaltene Dispersants on Wax Precipitation and Treatment

open access: yesColloids and Interfaces
A detailed understanding of the interactions between wax and asphaltenes with other components of crude oils and the effect of treatments with paraffin inhibitors (PIs) and asphaltene dispersants (ADs), with a focus on identifying specific structure ...

Optimization of the Load of Transition Metal Oxides (Fe2O3, Co3O4, NiO and/or PdO) onto CeO2 Nanoparticles in Catalytic Steam Decomposition of n-C7 Asphaltenes at Low Temperatures

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2019
The main objective of this work is the catalyst optimization of Fe2O3-, Co3O4-, NiO- and/or PdO- (transition element oxides—TEO) functionalized CeO2 nanoparticles to maximize the conversion of asphaltenes under isothermal conditions at low ...

Influence of polar solvents on the straight distillation of crude oil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It is offered to use for activation of oil raw materials of an additive of polar organic solvents. It is shown that for a preliminary estimate of activating action of additives it is possible to use results of the comparative analysis of properties of ...

Evaluating the Limitations of One‐Dimensional High‐Temperature Gas Chromatography ‐ FID for Wax Solution Analysis: A Systematic Study

open access: yesJournal of Separation Science, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Wax deposition in petroleum systems is intrinsically connected with paraffin wax composition, yet their quantitative characterization by one‐dimensional high‐temperature gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (HTGC–FID), as prescribed by ASTM D5442, remains challenging.

Processibility of black garbage bag as a novel binder system in metal injection molding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The issues to be highlighted here is to fundamentally evaluate the potential of using waste Garbage Bag from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) as a backbone binder in Metal Injection Molding (MIM.) This is by the fact that the earth has tons of ...

Aspects of asphaltene aggregation obtained from coarse-grained molecular modeling

open access: yes, 2015
We have performed a molecular-simulation-based study to explore some of the underlying mechanisms of asphaltene aggregation. The daunting complexity of the crude oil + asphaltene system precludes any type of meaningful molecular simulation unless some ...

An Evaluation of the Delayed-Coking Product Yield of Heavy Feedstocks Using Asphaltene Content and Carbon Residue Évaluation du rendement en produit de cokéfaction différée de pétrole lourd à l'aide de la teneur an asphaltènes et du résidu de coke

open access: yesOil & Gas Science and Technology, 2006
Six residua from different crude oils were evaluated for composition and carbon residue forming tendencies. The whole residua were evaluated for elemental composition, trace metals content, carbon residue, and specific gravity.

Waxes in asphaltenes of crude oils and wax deposits

open access: yesPetroleum Science, 2016
Composition and molecular mass distribution of n-alkanes in asphaltenes of crude oils of different ages and in wax deposits formed in the borehole equipment were studied. In asphaltenes, n-alkanes from C12 to C60 were detected.
