The efficient separation of highly viscous crude oil/water mixtures caused by offshore crude
oil exploitation, marine transportation, and oil recovery is still a big challenge. Adsorption …

Viscosity is the resistance of a material to continuous deformation exerted by shear force.
High viscosity, which is sometimes greater than 1 million mPa s, at the initial reservoir …

Temperature and chemical composition are governing parameters for the mechanical
behavior of asphalt binders. During extreme low and high temperatures, asphalt binders can …

Although conventional thermal methods have been widely used for bitumen recovery,
solvent-based or solvent-assisted techniques have emerged as viable, greener alternatives …

The extraction of bitumen relies on energy-intensive methods, and its transportation
necessitates dilution due to its high viscosity. Hence, there is a growing demand to explore …

Temperature is significantly influencing the behaviour of asphalt road surfaces. In case of
cooling, asphalt pavements become stiffer eventually reaching a brittle state at which …

This paper presents the measurements of bitumen thermophysical properties (density and
viscosity) over a wide range of temperatures (ambient to 200 C) and pressures (atmospheric …

We report new measurements and correlations of the density, viscosity, solubility, and K-
values of multicomponent solvent/live bitumen systems with applications to the solvent …

Recent developments in heavy oil recovery methods indicate that the co-injection of solvent
and steam can result in higher oil production rates. To investigate the performance and gain …

Dimethyl ether (DME) was investigated as a potential additive to steam to improve steam‐
assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) in a previous simulation study. The main objective of this …
