由表面活性物质溶液的动界面张力外推求平衡界面张力的研究

表面活性物质溶液的界面张力往往随时间而变,难以测得平衡界面张力J。Kloubek^[1]曾应用经验式:1/(δ_H2O-δ_t)=b/(At^1/2)+1/A,以[1/(δ_H2O-δ_t)]对1/t^1/2作图外推求得溶液的平衡表面张力,但所得结果仅与文献值大致相符。本文从理论上分析该经验式的由来,以及产生偏离的原因,并寻求了解决的办法。

Effects of a Novel Organic Alkali on the Interfacial Tension and Emulsification Behaviors Between Crude Oil and Water

Experiments have been carried out to investigate the interfacial tension (IFT) and emulsification behaviors between Shengli crude oil and a novel organic alkali (OA). The dynamic IFT and minimum IFT are adopted to characterize the IFT behaviors; the microscopic method, Turbiscan stability index, separated water rate, and laser particle size analysis method are used to show the emulsification behaviors. The dynamic and minimum IFT both decrease continuously with the increase of OA concentration whether surfactant is added or not; because of the synergy of OA and surfactant, the minimum IFT will be reduced to the ultralow value. The synergy is also crucial for the crude oil emulsification. When OA and surfactant are used together, owing to the mosaic and cross-multiple adsorption of OA, surfactant and in situ soap at the interfacial film, the oil can be emulsified more easily, the quantity of emulsified droplets is higher, and the emulsion is more stable with OA concentration increases. The relationship of the minimum IFT and emulsification is investigated; it indicates that the emulsion stability improves, the degree of dispersed homogeneity of oil droplets increases, and the median diameter of emulsified oil droplets decreases with the decline of the minimum IFT.

Effect of Alkanolamide on Interfacial Tension and Loss of Petroleum Sulfonates for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Experimental studies are conducted in order to elucidate the mechanisms of monoethanolamide responsible for synergism on lowering interfacial tension and decreasing loss due to adsorption on surface of reservoir sand and precipitation with multivalent cations in model oil/water/surfactants/brine systems. The interfacial tensions between solutions containing crude oil and monoethanolamide, petroleum sulfonates, or mixture of monoethanolamide and petroleum sulfonates at different ratios are studied without any alkali added in the solution. The results show significant synergic effect between monoethanolamide and petroleum sulfonates can reduce the interfacial tension to ultralow. Adsorption isotherms of monoethanolamide, petroleum sulfonates and mixture solution are determined to assess the effect of monoethanolamide on reducing the loss of petroleum sulfonates in formation. Static adsorption experiments indicate that the loss of petroleum sulfonates for adsorption and precipitation can be reduced on a great degree when monoethanolamide is mixed with petroleum sulfonates. The core-flooding tests show that the enhanced oil recovery with the formulation of surfactants of 0.3 wt% petroleum sulfonates and 0.2 wt% monoethanolamide can be increased by 26.6% without any alkali added in the flooding solution.     

CMC系列高分子表面活性剂与原油超低界面张力形成机理的研究

采用动态激光光散射及环境扫描电镜研究了羧甲基纤维素系列高分子表面活性剂与大庆原油形成超低界面张力的机理.结果表明,CMC系列高分子表面活性剂具有与低分子量表面活性剂相比拟的表/界面活性,其水溶液的表面张力可达2835mN/m,界面张力达到10^-110mN/m.碱的加入可显著降低高分子表面活性剂与原油的界面张力,在适当条件下界面张力达到超低值(10^-3mN/m),可望作为三次采油的驱油剂.等效烷烃模型研究表明,用碱与原油酸性组分的作用来解释碱能使界面张力下降至超低值的传统观点是不完善的,加入碱能使高分子表面活性剂胶束解缔,胶束数量增多,胶束粒径减小,单分子自由链增加,有利于高分子表面活性剂向界面迁移和排布,这是高分子表面活性剂和碱复配体系与原油界面张力下降至超低值的主要原因.

Novel Surfactant for the Reduction of CO2/Brine Interfacial Tension

The synthesis of novel CO₂ philic surfactant using maleic anhydride and dipropylene tertiary butyl alcohol is reported. The synthesis involved the esterification of maleic anhydride to produce bis(2-(2-(tert-butoxy)propoxy)propyl) maleate and subsequent sulfonation of the esterified product. Para toluene sulfonic acid was employed as catalyst for the esterification reaction. The esterification reaction was optimized for the maximum yield of 98% of bis(2-(2-(tert-butoxy)propoxy)propyl) maleate. The esterification reaction kinetics employing heterogeneous catalyst were also studied. Although this is a bimolecular reaction, a first order reaction kinetics with respect to acid has been observed. The activation energy was found to be 58.71 kJ/mol. The diester was followed by the sulfonation process and a yield of 85% of surfactant was achieved. The synthesized surfactant successfully lowered down the IFT between CO_2/brine to 1.93 mN/m. This surfactant has a great potential to be used for CO₂-EOR applications.     

表面活性剂亲水-亲油能力对动态界面张力的影响

当两个不互溶的液相接触时,如果其中一相或两相含有表面活性物质,就可能产生动态界面张力。两相间的界面张力随时间连续变化,直到平衡为止。在到达平衡的过程中,经常通过一个最低值。酸性油／碱水体系也会出现类似现象。Englind和Berg把动态界面张力解释为表面活性物质在界面上累积的结果,并观察到1,5－戊二醇由白油向水中传质时存在明显的吸附－脱附位垒。Rubin和Radke首次给出了解释酸性原油与碱水溶液接触时产生动态界面张力的物理模型,他们提出在油水上存在一个表面活性物质的脱附位垒,原油中的酸性物质与氢氧化钠在界面上的反应是迅速完成的,而这些物质的脱附,则比较缓慢,从而合理地解释了这一特征。近年来,由于超低界面张力在强化采油中的重要性,国外研究者对酸性油／碱／表面活性剂体系的动态界面张力特征进行了比较系统的研究,但其机理有待进一步探讨,本文通过对正构烷烃／石油磺酸盐体系动态界面张力的研究,考察了吸附－脱附位垒产生的原因、影响因素及其对动态界面张力曲线的影响,对酸性油／表面活性剂体系动态界面张力的机理进行了更深入的探索。     

Interfacial Tension of Polyethylene Glycol/Potassium Phosphate Aqueous Two-Phase Systems

Abstract

The interfacial tension of Polyethylene glycol (PEG)/potassium phosphate two-phase systems was measured by the rotating drop method. The interfacial tension was as low as 0.001 dyne/cm and increased with increases in the total concentrations of both PEG and potassium phosphate in two-phase systems. The increase in the interfacial tension was a function of the concentration differences of PEG and potassium phosphate between the top and the bottom phases which was confirmed by the tie line analysis. The interfacial tension was affected also by the molecular weigth of PEG. At low PEG molecular weights, the increase in the molecular weight greatly increased the interfacial tension, but at high molecular weights, the interfacial tension varied less with the molecular weight.     

Effect of low-salinity water on asphaltene precipitation

The effect of low-salinity (1000 to 5000?ppm) and intermediate-salinity (5000 to 40000?ppm) water (MgSO₄, MgCl₂, Na₂SO₄, CaCl₂, NaCl and KCl) on asphaltene precipitation was investigated in this work. The results revealed that all brines intensify the amount of asphaltene precipitation. All cases exhibited initial downward trend followed by the upward trend for the amount of asphaltene precipitation with increasing the brine concentration. A similar trend was also observed for Interfacial Tension (IFT) between crude oil and brine in this study. IFT was tested for MgSO₄, MgCl₂, Na₂SO₄, CaCl₂, NaCl and KCl brines with concentrations of 1000 to 40000?ppm. Finally, experimental results showed that an increase in volume of all brines in the mixture (brine +oil) led to increase and decrease of the asphaltene precipitation in low and intermediate salinity regions, respectively.     

Dynamic Interfacial Tension Behavior of Water/Oil Systems Containing In situ-Formed Surfactants

Time-dependent interfacial tension (IFT) has been investigated for an interfacially reactive immiscible system composed of model-acidified oil and alkaline water. The acidified oil was composed of either lauric acid or linoleic acid dissolved in n-dodecane. Drop volume tensiometry was employed to measure the interfacial tension between the two phases. In the case of lauric acid, the IFT value was found to decrease sharply with increasing alkali concentration, even at low drop formation times. In the case of linoleic acid, the IFT decrease with the drop formation time was more gradual, especially at low alkali concentration. The rate of formation of the interfacial area was also found to be dependent on alkali concentration.

Investigation Static/Dynamic Surface and Interfacial Tension of Some Synthesized Polymeric Surfactants to Enhance the Egyptian Jet Fuel A1 Atomization

In the present work some exthoxylated polyalkylphenol surfactants have different alkyl chains (nonyl and dodecyl) were synthesized. The static surface tension for these surfactants in water and jet fuel A1 was measured and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) for each surfactant was determined. The data show the general trend of decreasing the CMC against the molecular weight of the synthesized polymeric surfactants. The HLB of these surfactants was also calculated. The dynamic surface tension for the synthesized surfactants was measured at CMC. The dynamic interfacial tension for these surfactants with jet fuel A1 at CMC was also measured using the spinning drop technique. The results showed that the effect of the synthesized surfactants on deceasing the time of droplet maturation was significant remarked. The decrease of this time leads to enhance of jet fuel atomization.     

What is the Criterion for Selecting Alkaline/Surfactaint/Polymer Flooding Formulation: Phase Behavior or Interfacial Tension

An experimental study on determination of alkaline, surfactant, polymer (ASP) flooding systems using natural mixed carboxylate was conducted to examine the decisive factor for ASP flooding, phase behavior or interfacial tension. The volume and color of middle phase liquid were observed, the transient interfacial tension at different salt and alkaline concentrations were measured and, finally, coreflood test in laboratory were made. The results showed the flooding system with larger volume and brown color of middle phase emulsion sometimes not to obtain better oil recovery efficiency. The primary and more important phenomenon affecting the oil recovery is a lower or ultralow minimum interfacial tension value at the crude oil/soluble phase interface.     

Experimental Study of the Effect of Strong Alkali on Lowering the Interfacial Tension of Oil/Heavy Alkylbenzene Sulfonates System

Experimental studies were conducted to explore the fundamental mechanisms of alkali to lower the interfacial tension of oil/heavy alkylbenzene sulfonates (HABS) system. Sodium hydroxide was used as the strong alkali chemical to investigate the interfacial tension (IFT) of oil/HABS system. The influences of salt and alkali on the interfacial activity were studied by the measurement of interfacial tension and partition coefficient. Moreover, the alkali/surfactant solutions were measured by dynamic laser scattering. The results showed that compared with the salt, the function of alkali to lower the interfacial tension and improve partition coefficient is more significant. The micelles formed by surfactants could be disaggregated because of adding alkali, so the size of micelles decreases and the number of mono‐surfactants increases, then more surfactant molecules move to the interface of oil/surfactant system and the adsorption of surfactants at oil‐water interfaces increases, which can lead to the decrease of IFT.

Modeling Interfacial Tension of n-Alkane/Water-Salt System Using Artificial Neural Networks

In this paper, a feed forward neural network is built and trained using experimental data reported in the literature to model interfacial tension of n-alkane/water-salt systems. Temperature, pressure, molecular weight of n-alkane, and ionic strength of electrolyte solution are used as input to the neural network. The model succeeded to predict interfacial tension of liquid n-alkane/water system with or without the presence of electrolyte and yielded average absolute deviation of 0.58% over all data points. The performance of the model is analyzed and compared against the performance of the other alternative models. It was found out that the proposed model outperforms the other alternatives.

Size‐Dependent Interfacial Tension of Polymer Blends with Broad Composition Polydispersity

The surface tension as a function of system size of a pure blend with chemically polydisperse compatibilizer is investigated by simulation. The main finding is that such compatibilizers adsorb readily at the interface between the bulk phases giving rise to very broad interfacial zones. This phenomenon leads to a marked size dependence of the interfacial tension. However the adsorption only leads to a decrease of 40% of the interfacial tension of the blend without compatibilizer. The limited effect on interfacial tension is explained by the observation that a considerable fraction of the compatibilizing chains do not contribute to the interfacial tension, instead these chains become part of an inhomogeneous phase with extensive thermodynamic properties.
