Reduction of Water/Oil Interfacial Tension by Model Asphaltenes: The Governing Role of Surface Concentration
TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of asphaltene concentrations on the interfacial tension (IFT) of the oil/water interface revealed that surface concentration, rather than the commonly used bulk concentration, determines the reduction of oil/ water IFTs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Understanding of the Effect of Temperature and Salinity on the Water/Toluene Interfacial Tension
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of pendant drop measurements and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the effects of temperature and salinity on the interfacial tension (IFT) of water/toluene binary systems.

System and method for solvent de-asphalting
TL;DR: In this paper, a de-asphalting system for solvent de-phalting including a desasphalter and a controller is described, where the controller controls at least one operating parameter based on at least on a refractive index of the S+PDAO phase.
