The MSXX Force Field for the Barium Sulfate-Water Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new force field (MSXX FF) was developed for barium sulfate (BaSO4) to reproduce the experimental properties of BaSO4 crystal (density, lattice energy, compressibility, and vibrational spectrum) and to describe properly the interaction between BaSO4 and water (binding energies and interatomic distances of Ba(H2O)8 and (SO4)(H2O)6 clusters determined from ab initio quantum mechanics calculations). Using this FF in combination with F3C FF for water, the surface energies for several surfaces of BaSO4 were examined both in a vacuum and in the presence of an explicit water bath in contact with them. The same level of FF’s are also reported for CaSO4 and SrSO4.

In this work, scaling tendency and amount of precipitation of barium sulfate (BaSO4) were determined; the process is depending on temperature, pressure and mixing ratio of injection and formation of waters. Results showed that BaSO4 precipitation is largely dependent on mixing ratio. Temperature and pressure had no influence on BaSO4 precipitation. Different sca...

We report a force field (FF) suitable for molecular dynamics simulations of polysilane polymers. This FF, denoted MSXX, was developed using the Hessian biased method to describe accurately the vibrational states, the a b initio torsional potential energy surface, and the ab initio electrostatic charges of polysilane oligomers. This MSXX FF was used to calculate various spectroscopic and mechani...

A complete force field (MSXX) for simulation of all nylon polymers is derived from ab initio quantum calculations. Special emphasis is given to the accuracy of the hydrogen bond potential for the amide unit and the torsional potential between the peptide and alkane fragments. The MSXX force field was used to predict the structures, moduli, and detailed geometries of all nine nylons for which th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Barium Sulfate (Barite) Solubility Using Different Chelating Agents at a High Temperature
Barium sulfate (barite) is one of the widely used weighting materials in the preparation of drilling fluid for deep oil and gas wells. Barite is not soluble in the regular solvents; such as, hydrochloric acid (HCl) and other acids. Therefore, in this study, we focused on evaluating the dissolution of the industrial barite particles in different chelating agents. Chelating agents; such as, dieth...
