Chemical characterization of the asphaltenes from Colombian "Colorado" light crude oil

Nanoaggregation and Solubility of Crude Oil Asphaltenes from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The aggregation and solubility of asphaltenes are studied by classical molecular dynamics simulations. Average three-dimensional atomistic models are built on the basis of experimental data for the asphaltenes from a series of crude oil samples. The simulation of two such asphaltene models in four different solvents puts into evidence the formation of oligomeric clusters and gives clues to the ...

Thermodynamics of the Deposition of Complex Waxes and Asphaltenes in Crude Oil

The thermodynamics of wax formation in crude oils is examined and additional insights obtained into the problem. We show that a correlation for cloud point, or wax apppearance temperature, obtained for pure-substance waxes may be extended to mixtures of hydrocarbons, thereby generalising the usefulness of the correlation. We apply the colligative equation for freezing point depression to quanti...

Maltenes and Asphaltenes of Petroleum Vacuum Residues: Physico- Chemical Characterization

Solvent separation is frequently applied to petroleum vacuum residues to reduce the coke-forming tendencies of these materials. This process is capable of removing all or a substantial amount of asphaltenes from feedstocks that are destined for further processing and thus applied as the first step of refining. Maltenes and asphaltenes obtained from vacuum residues of Heera (HVR) and Jodhpur (JV...

Crude Oil Emulsions – Composition Stability and Characterization

romantic education:reading william wordsworths the prelude in the light of the history of ideas

عصر روشنگری زمان شکل گیری ایده های مدرن تربیتی- آموزشی بود اما تاکید بیش از اندازه ی دوشاخه مهم فلسفی زمان یعنی عقل گرایی و حس گرایی بر دقت و وضوح، انسان عصر روشنگری را نسبت به دیگر تواناییهایش نابینا کرده و موجب به وجود آمدن افرادی تک بعدی شد که افتخارعقلانیتشان، تاکید شان بر تجربه فردی، به مبارزه طلبیدن منطق نیاکانشان وافسون زدایی شان از دنیا وتمام آنچه با حواس پنجگانه قابل درک نبوده و یا در ...
