摘要
The study of emulsion stabilization mechanisms is of great importance in the field of crude oil extraction, transportation and processing. In order to further investigate the roles of asphaltenes and surfactants in the emulsion stabilization process, the adsorption mechanisms of asphaltenes and surfactants at the oil-water interface were investigated using dissipative particle dynamics. The results show that: the asphaltene interfacial film gradually becomes thicker before the saturation adsorption of asphaltene molecules at the oil-water interface, and the interfacial tension decreases with the increase of the number of molecules until it reaches the equilibrium state; different surfactant molecules have different influences on the interface, and the calculations of the radial distribution function and the interfacial tension show that H2T4 molecules have a stronger effect than H4T4 at the oil-water interface and have stronger surface activity. H2T4 reaches saturation adsorption capacity faster than H4T4 and has higher interfacial efficiency. The asphaltene-surfactant composite system can stabilize the oil-water interface more effectively. Competitive and synergistic effects of asphaltene and surfactant in the process of interfacial adsorption. When the concentration of surfactant in the composite system is low, there is a synergistic effect between the two in the interfacial adsorption process; when the concentration of surfactant is high, there is a competitive effect between the two in the synergistic adsorption process. The surfactant H4T4 has both interfacial adsorption and self-aggregation in the competitive adsorption process. This paper provides ideas for exploring the kinematic laws of molecular behavior in the stabilization mechanism of crude oil emulsions.
