Combined experimental and molecular dynamics investigation of 1D rod-like asphaltene aggregation in toluene-hexane mixture

نویسندگان

چکیده

The aggregation behavior of asphaltene in the toluene-hexane mixture is systematically investigated using experimental techniques such as optical microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. images various concentrations are processed to determine size aggregates. FTIR performed within our work order understand formation aggregates its interaction solvent mixture. MD simulations employed achieve atomistic insights into asphaltene. end-to-end distance molecule calculated for dynamical properties diffusion coefficient shear viscosity calculated. Further, an in-depth analysis density contours probe clusterization Thus obtained structural compared findings. Our results thereby highlight importance theoretical study deeper better

Molecular Dynamics simulations of rod-like polyelectrolytes

We present theoretical and numerical results on stii, linear polyelec-trolytes within the framework of the cell model. With the help of an innec-tion point criterium we discuss counterion condensation for systems with added salt. Molecular dynamics simulations of the cell model are used to show, under which circumstances the mean-eld Poisson-Boltzmann theory fails qualitatively. We present meas...

Effect of dispersant on asphaltene suspension dynamics: aggregation and sedimentation.

When oil is mixed with light alkanes, asphaltenes can precipitate out of oil solutions in a multistep process that involves the formation of nano and colloidal scale particles, the aggregation of asphaltene colloids, and their eventual sedimentation. Amphiphilic dispersants can greatly affect this process. The mechanism of the dispersant action in colloidal asphaltene suspensions in heptane has...

Toxicokinetic Modeling of the Combined Exposure to Toluene and n-Hexane in Rats and Humans

Toxicokinetic Modeling of the Combined Exposure to Toluene and n-Hexane in Rats and Humans: Nabeel ALI, et al. Département de médecine du travail et d’hygiène du milieu, Faculté de médecine, Université de Montréal—We studied the toxicokinetic fate of toluene (TOL) and n-hexane (HEX) in rats exposed to mixtures of these solvents by inhalation during 4 hours. We developed and validated a physiolo...
