Naphthenic acids (NAs) are widely present in crude oil and oil sands process-affected water
(OSPW). NAs in crude oil lead to corrosion problems, promote emulsion formation, decrease …

The forecast of an increase in the consumption of petroleum products, together with the
growing scarcity of new deposits, makes it necessary to take full advantage of existing ones …

We report an application of a low-level data fusion for chemometric discrimination of crude
oil samples by usual classifications, based on the combination of data obtained by means of …

The interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and brine is a key parameter affecting the enhanced
oil recovery process. Despite the several theoretical and experimental investigations on the …

Smart waterflooding (SWF) through tailoring of injection-water salinity and ionic composition
is receiving favorable attention in the industry for both improved and enhanced oil recovery …

Carboxylic acids (CAs), common oxygen-containing compounds in petroleum samples,
have been paid high attention in several areas, including petroleum geochemistry …

The most widely used method for determining the total acid number (TAN) in crude oils is
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D664, which is subject to interference …

Density functional theory models are used to examine five biodegradable ionic liquids (ILs)
each one consisting of a substitutional group (-OH,-NH2,-COOH,-COOCH3, and-OCH3) …

Abstract Pengujian TAN (Total Acid Number) merupakan pengukuran keasaman suatu
minyak pelumas yang ditentukan oleh jumlah miligram kalium hidroksida (KOH) yang …

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are weak organic acids present in the heavy crude oil and Oil Sand
Bitumens. Whereas, the NAs are the major cause of corrosion in different processing …
