Investigation on the adsorption and surface activity of imidazolium chloride-based ionic liquids (n = 12, 18); resin and asphaltene synthetic oil and high salinity by Reza MalekiZadeh, Seyednooroldin Hosseini, Mostafa Narimani

“…The results also revealed the higher adsorption of surfactants in the presence of resin molecules (1.64 mg IL/g rock for BRSO at pH of 11) due to their more branched structure. Moreover, the higher adsorption of ILs for the asphaltenic synthetic oil (ASO) and resinous synthetic oil (RSO) extracted from the basic crude oil at a pH of 7 was observed which was related to the higher content of heteroatoms (RSO = 18.5% and ASO = 23.6% for synthetic oil extracted from basic crude oil). …”
