Abstract
Abstract The paper presents the results of experimental studies on pressure drops during the flow of cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) and DEA cocamide solutions with the addition of ethylene glycol. The degree of drag reduction during the flow of the CAPB/DEA aqueous solution and with the 10% addition of ethylene glycol was similar. A significant reduction in pressure drops was also observed at the 20% concentration of ethylene glycol. However, the increase in the concentration of ethylene glycol resulted in the reduction of flow resistance at higher temperatures. The resistance of the micellar microstructure of CAPB/DEA solutions to mechanical degradation depends strongly on the pH level. Significant changes in flow properties were observed when the initial pH was alkaline. The solution with initial pH close to neutral was stable over time, though reduced resistance to degradation with time was also observed.
期刊介绍:
Polish Journal of Chemical Technology is a peer-reviewed, international journal devoted to fundamental and applied chemistry, as well as chemical engineering and biotechnology research. It has a very broad scope but favors interdisciplinary research that bring chemical technology together with other disciplines. All authors receive very fast and comprehensive peer-review. Additionally, every published article is promoted to researchers working in the same field.
