A helical shape of polyoxypropylene chain for extended surfactant molecule at the water/oil interface: Theoretical and experimental study

Hong-Jia He et al.

Summary: This study investigates the molecular behaviors and properties of extended surfactant at the water/oil interface using molecular dynamics simulation. It proposes a helical shape mechanism for the behavior of long chains at the interface. Experimental results confirm the important role of long chains in adjusting the size of hydrophobic groups and reducing interfacial tension.

An Overview of the Oil plus Brine Two-Phase System in the Presence of Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Their Mixture

Arun Kumar Narayanan Nair et al.

Summary: This article provides an overview of molecular simulation studies on the oil+brine two-phase system with CO2, CH4, and their mixture under geological conditions. The simulation results agree well with experimental and theoretical predictions, revealing the variations in interfacial tension, solubility, and surface excess under different conditions.

Interfacial properties and salt tolerance of carboxylated nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants

Hong-ze Gang et al.

Summary: Ionic alkoxy-based surfactants, specifically carboxylated nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants, were studied in terms of their interfacial activity and salt tolerance. The results showed that the surfactant with more ethoxy units exhibited higher interfacial activity and salt tolerance, highlighting the importance of surfactant structure in influencing these properties.

Interfacial behavior of the decane plus brine plus surfactant system in the presence of carbon dioxide, methane, and their mixture

Nilesh Choudhary et al.

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the interfacial behavior of a decane + brine + surfactant + CH4 + CO2 system at reservoir conditions. The addition of CH4, CO2, and SDS surfactant at the interface reduced the interfacial tensions of decane + water and decane + brine systems, while salt increased the tensions. The enrichment of CH4 and/or CO2 in the interfacial region decreased with increasing surfactant concentration.
