Review of microscale dynamics of dilution-induced asphaltene precipitation under controlled mixing conditions
Jia Meng, Somasekhara Goud Sontti, Xuehua Zhang
As the most complex and heaviest component in bitumen, asphaltene precipitation induced by solvent dilution is important in oil sands extraction to remove solids and water from bit…
Dissolution Dynamics of a Binary Switchable Hydrophilicty Solvent -- Polymer Drop into an Acidic Aqueous Phase
Romain Billet, Binglin Zeng, James Lockhart +3
Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents defined by their ability to switch from their hydrophobic form to a hydrophilic form when put in contact with an acidic trigg…
Evaporation of a sessile colloidal water-glycerol droplet: Marangoni ring formation
Lijun Thayyil Raju, Christian Diddens, Yaxing Li +4
The transport and aggregation of particles in suspensions is an important process in many physicochemical and industrial processes. In this work, we study the transport of particle…
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…
Growth Rates of Hydrogen Microbubbles in Reacting Femtoliter Droplets
Zhengxin Li, Hongbo Zeng, Xuehua Zhang
Chemical reactions in small droplets are extensively explored to accelerate the discovery of new materials, increase efficiency and specificity in catalytic biphasic conversion and…
Surface Properties of Colloidal Particles Affect Colloidal Self-Assembly in Evaporating Self-Lubricating Ternary Droplets
Olga Koshkina, Lijun Thayyil Raju, Anke Kaltbeitzel +4
In this work, we unravel the role of surface properties of colloidal particles on the formation of supraparticles (clusters of colloidal particles) in a colloidal Ouzo droplet. Sel…
