Morphological control of silicalite-1 crystals using microemulsion mediated growthLee, Seung Ju 01 November 2005 (has links)
Zeolites are crystalline, microporous aluminosilicates that have been extensively used in heterogeneous catalysis, separations, and ion-exchange operations. It has long been understood that particle size and morphology play a central role in the successful application of zeolites. This dissertation reports on controlling the morphology of all-silica zeolite, silicalite-1, made in nonionic/ionic microemulsions under conventional synthesis conditions. Silicalite-1 materials formed in microemulsion-mediated syntheses possess different morphological properties as compared to samples grown using the same synthesis mixture in the absence of the microemulsion. The work presented here is a systematic study showing how parameters such as synthesis temperature, microemulsion composition, silica precursor, alkali content, presence of salt, and the surfactant identity impact the material properties, most notably crystal morphology. In the nonionic microemulsion mediated synthesis, the work demonstrates the possibility of using microemulsions to manipulate the shape and size of silicalite-1 materials, growing both spheres and high-aspect ratio platelets. In both cases these large particles are robust aggregates of small submicron particles. Based on the results presented, a mechanism is proposed illustrating the role of both the confined space presented by the microemulsion as well as the importance of the surfactant-silicate interactions leading to the formation of the large aggregates. In the cationic microemulsion mediated synthesis, it is concluded that the surfactant??silicate interactions are primarily responsible for the modulation of crystal morphology observed. The results indicate that surfactant adsorption on the growing crystal surface, not the confined space afforded by the microemulsion, is essential. The results suggest that this may be a versatile and useful approach to controlling zeolite crystal morphology and growth of crystals obtained from conventional high-silica zeolite synthesis procedures.

A study of microemulsion viscosity with consideration of polymer and co-solvent additivesDashti, Ghazal 22 July 2014 (has links)
With the dramatic increase in the worldwide demand for the crude oil and with the fact that the oil and gas resources are depleting, the enhanced oil recovery process plays an important role to increase the production from the existing hydrocarbon reservoirs. Chemical enhanced oil recovery is one of the most important techniques to unlock significant amount of trapped oil from oil reservoirs. Surface agent materials (Surfactants) are used to lower the interfacial tension (IFT) between water and oil phases to ultralow values and mobilize the trapped oil. When surfactant, water, and oil are mixed together they form a thermodynamically stable phase called microemulsion which can be characterized by ultralow interfacial tension and the ability to solubilize both aqueous and oil compounds. Another characteristic of microemulsion solution is its viscosity which plays an important role in the creation and movement of the oil bank. The microemulsion micro-structure is complex and its viscosity is difficult to predict. Various viscosity models and correlations are presented in the literature to describe microemulsion viscosity behavior, but they fail to represent the rheological behavior of many microemulsion mixtures. Most of these models are valid in the lower and higher ranges of solute where one of the domains is discontinuous. The majority of the models fail to calculate the rheology of microemulsion phase in bicontinuous domains. In this work, we present a systematic study of the rheological behavior of microemulsion systems and the effect of additives such as polymer and co-solvent on rheological properties of microemulsions. Several laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the rheological behavior of surfactant solutions. A new empirical model for the viscosity of microemulsion phase as a function of salinity is introduced. The model consists of three different correlations one for each phase type of Windsor phase behaviors. The proposed model is validated using a number of experimental results presented in this document. The proposed viscosity model is implemented in the UTCHEM simulator and the simulator results are compared with the coreflood experiments. Excellent matches were obtained for the pressure. We further improved the proposed viscosity model to incorporate the effect of polymer and co-solvent on the microemulsion viscosity. / text

Experimental Study of Solvent Based Emulsion Injection to Enhance Heavy Oil RecoveryQiu, Fangda 2010 May 1900 (has links)
This study presents the results of nano-particle and surfactant-stabilized solvent-based emulsion core flooding studies under laboratory conditions that investigate the recovery mechanisms of chemical flooding in a heavy oil reservoir. In the study, bench tests, including the phase behavior test, rheology studies and interfacial tension measurement are performed and reported for the optimum selecting method for the nano-emulsion. Specifically, nano-emulsion systems with high viscosity have been injected into sandstone cores containing Alaska North Slope West Sak heavy oil with 16 API, which was dewatered in the laboratory condition.
The experiment results suggest that the potential application of this kind of emulsion flooding is a promising EOR (enhanced oil recovery) process for some heavy oil reservoirs in Alaska, Canada and Venezuela after primary production. Heavy oil lacks mobility under reservoir conditions and is not suitable for the application of the thermal recovery method because of environmental issues or technical problems.
Core flooding experiments were performed on cores with varied permeabilities. Comparisons between direct injection of nano-emulsion systems and nano-emulsion injections after water flooding were conducted. Oil recovery information is obtained by material balance calculation.
In this study, we try to combine the advantages of solvent, surfactant, and nano-particles together. As we know, pure miscible solvent used as an injection fluid in developing the heavy oil reservoir does have the desirable recovery feature, however it is not economical. The idea of nano-particle application in an EOR area has been recently raised by researchers who are interested in its feature-reaction catalysis-which could reduce in situ oil viscosity and generate emulsion without surfactant. Also, the nano-particle stabilized emulsions can long-distance drive oil in the reservoir, since the nano-particle size is 2-4 times smaller than the pore throat.
In conclusion, the nano-emulsion flooding can be an effective enhancement for an oil recovery method for a heavy oil reservoir which is technically sensitive to the thermal recovery method.
