Size distribution of primary submicron particles and larger aggregates in solvent induced asphaltene precipitation
Jia Meng, Somasekhara Goud Sontti, Mohsen Sadeghi +4
Asphaltene precipitation is a crucial phase separation phenomenon in the oil industry, especially in paraffinic froth treatment to extract bitumen from oil sands ores. This work re…
How fast do microdroplets generated during liquid-liquid phase separation move in a confined 2D space?
Gilmar F. Arends, John M. Shaw, Xuehua Zhang
How liquid transport occurs in confined spaces is relevant to many industrial and lab-scale processes, ranging from enhanced oil recovery to drug delivery systems. In this work, we…
Enhanced displacement of phase separating liquid mixtures in 2D confined spaces
Gilmar F. Arends, Jae Bem You, John M. Shaw +1
Displacing liquid in a confined space is important for technological processes, ranging from porous membrane separation to CO sequestration. The liquid to be displaced usuall…
Microfluidic device coupled with total internal reflection microscopy for in situ observation of precipitation
Jia Meng, Jae Bem You, Gilmar F. Arends +3
In situ observation of precipitation or phase separation induced by solvent addition is important in studying its dynamics. Combined with optical and fluorescence microscopy, micro…
