Use of the equilibrium contact angle as an index of contact surface cleanliness

Yang, Jianguo 18 December 1990 (has links)
Advancing contact angles formed by water and aqueous ethanol solutions were measured on both bare surfaces and film-covered surfaces of acrylic, glass, hydrophilic and hydrophobic silicon, polycarbonate, polyester, and stainless steel. Each bare surface was initially characterized with respect to its hydrophilic - hydrophobic balance. Both protein films and milk films were prepared on each surface; the adsorbed mass comprising each film was measured with ellipsometry. Contact angle methods proved useful in detecting the presence of a protein film on sufficiently hydrophilic or sufficiently hydrophobic surfaces. Contact angle methods were also found to be useful for detecting the presence of a milk film on sufficiently hydrophilic solid surfaces. The results also indicated that the type of diagnostic liquid chosen for the analysis becomes an important factor for films of increasing complexity. In any event, contact angle analysis is inappropriate to quantify the actual mass of soil remaining on a solid surface. / Graduation date: 1991

Contact Angle Hysteresis: Implications for Fluid Flow

Andrade, Cristhian F. 06 1900 (has links)
Contact angle behavior controls the spreading, sticking, or movement of fluid droplets on top of solid substrates, and the immiscible displacement of mixed fluids in porous media. Therefore, it influences applications such as oil recovery, CO2 geological storage, water transport in unsaturated soils, and DNAPL soil remediation techniques. The attraction forces and geometrical-molecular arrangement at the atomic scale define the strength of the interfacial tension that changes in response to changes in temperature, pressure, or the fluid composition within the system. Contact line behavior such as contact line pinning or depinning, microscale roughness, and changes in interfacial tensions influence advancing and receding contact angles. This study consists of a comprehensive database of published advancing and receding contact angles to understand the underlying mechanisms of contact line pinning and depinning and the implications of these phenomena on advancing and receding contact angles. Calcite experiments that investigate advancing and receding contact angle measurements as a function of ionic concentration complement the published literature. Critical results include: an advancing contact angle trend with calcite as a function of ionic concentration, a point of minimum contact angle hysteresis when brine concentrations are close to 0.1 M, and that contact angle behavior depends on cation type and the calcite surface anisotropy. Contact line pinning prevents flow and increases contact angle hysteresis. An analysis of the database suggests that the wide range of contact angle hysteresis of calcite and quartz with water results both from hydrogen bonds and microscale roughness at the surface which leads to pinned contact lines. The Jamin effect reduces significantly in calcite when the resultant injection brines have an ionic concentration close to 0.1 M. Thus, the pressure difference required to displace a non-wetting fluid for a wetting fluid reduces, and leads to enhanced recovery of trapped oil, gas or DNAPL.

Surfactant Screening to Alter the Wettability and Aid in Acidizing Carbonate Formations

Yadhalli Shivaprasad, Arun Kumar 02 October 2013 (has links)
Surfactant flooding in carbonate matrix acidizing treatment has been widely used for changing the wettability of the rock and to achieve low IFT values. Optimizing the type of surfactant and concentration for the specific oil field is very important in order to avoid formation damage and to reduce the treatment cost. We built an experimental procedure for screening the right surfactant to alter the wettability and aid in acidizing of Pekisko formation, Canada, which is strongly oil-wet and has high viscosity oil. Five surfactants were tested out of which three are cationic, one amphoteric and the other one was a fluoro-surfactant. Measurements were made of interfacial tension with different surfactant types/concentrations in brine with the oil and xylene, critical micelle concentration of each surfactant, solubility characteristics of the surfactants, compatibility of the chemical additives, wettability of the core after treating with surfactants, and core flooding in the laboratory to simulate matrix acidizing. From the results obtained we noted that the fluoro-surfactant can cause formation damage due to precipitation in the brine. So the compatibility of every chemical additive should be tested first. The use of xylene as a pre-flush solution lowered the CMC and hence reduced the cost of the surfactant treatment. Aromox, an amine based surfactant was best suited for matrix acidizing treatment of the Pekisko formation.
