This study reviews the mechanism of microwave irradiation and the affecting parameters,
including heating rate, particle size, catalysts, and supercritical fluids on the microwave …

Asphaltene is one of the polar and heavy fractions of crude oil that is complex from a
molecular perspective. For this reason, the interaction between asphaltene molecules and …

Ionic liquids have emerged as a promising new material for a wide range of industrial
applications, because of their unique structures and properties. Ionic liquids possess …

Asphaltene precipitation and its adsorption on different surfaces are challenging topics in
the upstream and downstream of the oil industries and the environment. In this research, the …

Polyoctadecyl acrylate (POA) is a commonly used pour point depressant (PPD) for waxy
crude oil, and its modification to further improve the fluidity of waxy crude oil is a hot …

It has been proved that colloidal asphaltene and polymer pour point depressants (PPD)
synergistically and dramatically modify the rheology of model waxy oil. In the crude oil …

Asphaltene adsorption on reservoir rock minerals causes wettability alteration and pore
plugging which subsequently reduces crude oil production. Also, it has a negative effect on …

In this paper, we present a systematic review of the perturbed-chain statistical associating
fluid theory equation of state (PC-SAFT) EoS for thermodynamic modeling with application in …

Prediction and control of the behavior of asphaltenes have always been one of the most
challenging topics in the oil and gas industry. To this aim, many attempts have been done so …

Lauramine is widely considered to be an asphaltene flocculant, but its effect on the
modification of crude oil by PPDs has been little studied. In this paper, the effect of LA …
