Due to superior surface activity and physicochemical properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have
been applied in petroleum industry in different ways, such as ILs-assisted solvent extraction …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been widely used to recover residual oil after the primary
or secondary oil recovery processes. Compared to conventional methods, chemical EOR …

A novel aliphatic alcohol nonionic polyether (MJTJU-2) has been successfully synthesized
by esterification and polymerization. It is found that this new polyether is efficient in fast …

This study focused on develo** a new cocktail extraction agent (CEA) composed of
solvent and a new surfactant material (SM) for enhancing the efficiency of fuel recovery from …

Water-and solvent-based ex situ extraction processes have been employed to extract
bitumen from mineable oil sands. On the other hand, bitumen is recovered in situ from …

The molecular scale sorption, diffusion and distribution of asphaltene, resin, aromatic and
saturate fractions of heavy crude oil on quartz surface were studied using molecular …

Heavy oil and bitumen play a vital role in the global energy supply, and to unlock such
resources, thermal methods, eg, steam injection, are applied. To improve the performance of …

Asphaltene precipitation is a common phenomenon in the exploitation of crude oil and
closely correlates with oil recovery, especially in CO2 flooding. In this work, employing …

Photocatalyst titanium dioxide (TiO 2) has been widely applied on asphalt and concrete
pavements to mitigate the air pollution caused by traffic exhaust. In general, most of the TiO …

Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation was applied to evaluate the mobility, diffusivity and
partitioning of SARA (saturates, aromatics, resins, asphaltenes) fractions of heavy crude oil …
