Economical CO2 capture demands low-energy separation strategies. We use a liquid-
infused surface (LIS) approach to immobilize reactive liquids, such as amines, on a textured …

In water-based oil sands extraction, the recovery of ultra-heavy oil is determined by two
essential stages: liberation and aeration. However, these two stages prefer opposite water …

Asphaltenes are a group of compounds that are soluble in benzene and toluene but
insoluble in nonpolar small molecule n-alkanes. The asphaltene aggregation in the …

Asphaltenes have been associated with a number of problems in the petroleum industry with
regard to the storage, exploration, and transportation of petroleum crude. In the current work …

Many geological processes from oil recovery to underground CO2 storage are affected by
natural molecules adsorbed on rock surfaces. Yet, geochemical models tend to overlook …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and most polarizable fractions of crude oil. During the oil
production process, changes in the temperature, pressure, and oil composition can …

In the present work, the first data on the adsorption behavior of petroleum vanadyl
porphyrins in the presence and absence of asphaltenes are afforded. As adsorptives, N, N …

As a result of strong molecule–molecule and molecule–wall interactions, phase behavior in
confined fluids differs significantly from that in bulk fluids. Asphaltene precipitation is a …

Using nanoparticles for adsorbing asphaltene was known as an efficient method among
researchers for crude oil upgrading. In this study, zeolite-zirconia-copper nanocomposites …

Oil shale as well as shale oil and shale gas are significant energy resources with huge
reserves present in different parts of the world. Various geochemical proxies have been …
