Abstract
Stable water-oil emulsions are formed due to the strong armor layer at the oil/water interface able to prevent the coalescence of water droplets in oil. The stability of water-oil emulsions obtained by mixing solutions of asphaltene in toluene and in heptol (a mixture of n-heptanol and toluene) with distilled water was found to be a function of two asphaltene fractions, namely, a fraction soluble in heptol enriched with ester fragments and a fraction tending to form aggregates in heptol. The surfactant properties of the first fraction permit the formation of a thin shell with low mechanical strength at the oil/water interface. The asphaltene aggregates adsorbed onto this thin shell are compacted over time, imparting rigidity and mechanical strength to the oil/water interface layer.
期刊介绍：
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils publishes reports on improvements in the processing of petroleum and natural gas and cracking and refining techniques for the production of high-quality fuels, oils, greases, specialty fluids, additives and synthetics. The journal includes timely articles on the demulsification, desalting, and desulfurizing of crude oil; new flow plans for refineries; platforming, isomerization, catalytic reforming, and alkylation processes for obtaining aromatic hydrocarbons and high-octane gasoline; methods of producing ethylene, acetylene, benzene, acids, alcohols, esters, and other compounds from petroleum, as well as hydrogen from natural gas and liquid products.
