Unconventional petroleum ores have been considered to be an important part of petroleum
resources and an important alternative source of chemicals and energy supply. Extremely …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been widely used to recover residual oil after the primary
or secondary oil recovery processes. Compared to conventional methods, chemical EOR …

A novel aliphatic alcohol nonionic polyether (MJTJU-2) has been successfully synthesized
by esterification and polymerization. It is found that this new polyether is efficient in fast …

With the ever-increasing use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in road construction,
extraction and recovery of binders from mixtures as placed becomes a critical aspect of …

Electric dehydration process of crude oil is frequently accompanied by water droplet
breakup, resulting in efficiency reduction of oil-water separation. To reveal the microscopic …

Electrocoalescence is an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly process for
separating water-in-oil emulsions. In this study, nanoparticle-laden droplet–droplet …

Due to superior surface activity and physicochemical properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have
been applied in petroleum industry in different ways, such as ILs-assisted solvent extraction …

Unconventional heavy oil ores (UHO) have been considered an important part of petroleum
resources and an alternative source of chemicals and energy supply. Due to the …

Investigations of nonaqueous extraction (NAE) of bitumen from minable oil sands have been
extensively revisited in the past decade as an alternative to Clark hot water extraction …

A switchable solvent with a diamine structure called N, N, N′, N′-tetraethyl-1, 3-
propanediamine (TEPDA) has been synthesized through an alkylation reaction. This solvent …
