Foamers with high resistance to condensate, salinity and high temperature play a crucial role in gas well deliquification. In this study, we developed an efficient foaming mixture containing a Gemini surfactant (CAGB), a betaine surfactant (CAPB) and sodium lauroyl glutamate (SLG), which exhibited excellent foaming performance (at a molar ratio of 3:3:4 and a dosage of 20 mmol L−1) with a foam volume of 440 mL and a half-life of 11 min. The optimized CAGB/CAPB/SLG mixture showed exceptional liquid unloading and foaming ability under high methanol (up to 40 vol.%) and condensate (up to 50 vol.%) content conditions. Trisodium aminotriacetate (NTA) facilitated the liquid unloading performance at a salinity of 90 g L−1. With 10 vol.% methanol, the liquid unloading rate of CAGB/CAPB/SLG foam at 90 °C could be increased to 90 %. Furthermore, surface tension and morphology analysis confirmed the presence of synergy within the CAGB/CAPB/SLG mixture in foaming, foam stabilizing and liquid unloading ability.

Analysing the possibilities of obtaining biosurfactants and using waste materials as substrates for their production allows us to emphasize that biosurfactants are in line with the ideas of sustainable development and the protection of non-renewable resources. These ideas also apply to the engineering and technology of cosmetic products. For this reason, and because of the multi-functionality of biosurfactants, their role and widespread use in cosmetic formulations is likely to increase. Biosurfactants tend to have good surface properties. Their structural diversity results in differences in biological, antioxidant or biocidal activity. The paper presents the potential of biosurfactants that could be used in the composition of products dedicated to the fight against the problems of ageing skin. Particularly important in the skin ageing process is the fight against radicals and the prevention of collagen loss in the skin. The overall appearance of the skin also depends on the level of hydration and roughness. Biosurfactants also have an effect on the melanogenesis process, controlling hyperpigmentation. A relatively new approach to the fight against skin ageing emphasizes the role of the microbiome, and available research also points to the correlation of biosurfactants with maintaining the correct structure of the microbiome.

The objective of the research was to investigate the influence of kerosene and oleic acid on emulsion formation. The two solutions were combined to form an emulsion by dispersing the kerosene solution into small droplets within the aqueous phase with the assistance of oleic acid. The surfactant reduced the interfacial tension between the two solutions, facilitating the emulsification process and stabilizing the droplets formed. A comprehensive understanding of the variables that control to the formation and stability of emulsions is essential for their effective development. For this purpose, the stability of oil-in-water emulsions was evaluated by measuring droplet size, turbidity, zeta potential, surface tension, and conductivity. Improved emulsion stability was correlated with smaller droplet size, increased turbidity, and reduced surface tension. The results of this research have significant potential for a variety of industrial applications.

Bicelles can be formed by mixing in given mole fractions two ethoxylated alkyl ether carboxylic acid surfactants of very different HLB in water. We determine the effect of adding three of the most used additives in formulation in health- and home care: propylene glycol, glycerol, and ethanol. The effects of additives are determined and compared in a concentrated isotropic phase above the LCST, a pseudo-lamellar phase, and a discotic nematic phase. The two latter are birefringent, and the nematic phase is viscoelastic. Propylene glycol acts as a co-solvent, improving the temperature stability of the nematic phase up to 20 wt% propylene glycol. Further addition of propylene glycol reduces the phase transition temperatures, inducing microstructural changes due to headgroup dehydration and preferential solubilization of the hydrophilic short chain surfactant. Glycerol acts as an anti-solvent, progressively decreasing phase transition temperatures by dehydration of headgroups. Ethanol is a good co-solvent for the surfactant-mixture. Adding up to 5 wt% ethanol increases the temperature stability of the nematic phase. Higher concentrations of ethanol lead to a single isotropic phase with increasingly molecular dissolution of the surfactants. The effect of the considered additives on molecular packing is followed by high resolution X-ray scattering.

In this paper, the lamellar liquid crystals formed in S1570-Brij97/isopropyl myristate/PEG400 aqueous system were prepared at 37 °C. The effects of PEG400 and curcumin on the S1570-Brij97 lyotropic liquid crystal systems were studied by phase diagram, polarized optical microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, and rheology. The prepared lamellar liquid crystals show stable structures at 37 °C. The encapsulation of curcumin improves the structural stability of the lamellar liquid crystals, which can be confirmed by their higher ηγ=0.013 and σy values, suggesting that the S1570-Brij97 lamellar liquid crystals are good carriers for curcumin. In addition, the prepared lamellar liquid crystals can effectively protect curcumin from decomposition, and curcumin can be released slowly in the liquid crystals. Therefore, based on the structural stability, protective effect on curcumin, and slow-release behavior, the constructed S1570-Brij97 lamellar liquid crystals have good potential for drug delivery.

Six surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) with herbicidal anions were synthetized (with a yield of ≥ 88 %) and their structure was confirmed by NMR spectra. Subsequently, their surface properties, phytotoxicity and bulk aggregation behavior in aqueous solution investigated. The compounds studied have an amphiphilic structure and, due to the presence of two long alkyl chains in the cation, they displayed surface activity (CMC values, ranging from 0.13 mmol L−1 to 1.36 mmol L−1). Our results provide explanations for the role of counterions in the physical and chemical properties of SAILs. Indeed, the aromatic anion affects the hydrophilic charge of the surface-active compounds. The SAILs containing the [MCPA]− and [MCPP]− anions were the most phytotoxic to representatives of dicotyledonous plants compared to the other compounds. By analysis of the structure of SAILs, we demonstrate that counterions play an important role in self-assembly and adsorption processes in aqueous solutions, and therefore, in the potential biological application of these compounds.

This paper investigates the interactions and aggregation behavior of biosurfactants, sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) in aqueous solutions of Emtricitabine and Lamivudine (anti-HIV drugs). The study uses conductometry and UV–visible spectroscopy techniques to evaluate the critical micelle concentration (CMC) at different temperatures ranging from 298.15 K to 313.15 K with a variation of 5 K. The temperature dependence of the CMC was examined, and the stability of micelles was analyzed in light of the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions involved in this system. The CMC obtained from both the methods are in agreement. Various thermodynamic parameters, such as ∆Hm0${increment}{H}_{m}^{0}$, ∆Sm0${increment}{S}_{m}^{0hspace{0.17em}}$ and ∆Gm0${increment}{G}_{m}^{0}$ have been estimated using a “pseudo-phase separation model” to understand the contribution of the chemical and de-solvation part in the micellization process. Furthermore, the enthalpy-entropy compensation plots validate the micellar stability of the studied systems.

The surface activity, intermolecular interactions and thermodynamic parameters of a mixture of a nonionic surfactant (branched-chain alkyl glycoside (IG-10)) and an anionic surfactant (alcohol ether carboxylic acid (90H)) were investigated and the wetting, emulsifying and foaming properties of the mixed system were also evaluated. The results show that there is a mutual attraction at the mixed micelles and gas/liquid interfaces formed by the two surfactants. The thermodynamic parameters show that the formation of mixed micelles from two different surfactants is a non-ideal process. In terms of application performance, the wetting ability and foaming properties of the mixed system showed good synergistic effects, with the wetting time of the mixed system being shorter than that of the two single surfactant systems and the foam stability being weaker than that of the single system. The best emulsifying capacity was obtained when the mass fraction of 90H was 50 %.

The salt blockage layer formed in the wellbore during the development of high salinity oil and gas fields has a serious impact on the safety of oil and gas production of the oil and gas fields. CaCO3 is the main component of scale in high salinity oil and gas fields. Herein, focusing on CaCO3 as an example, the precipitation and scaling process as well as the change of crystalline form of CaCO3 under different temperature and salinity conditions were studied. The effects of two addition methods of organic chelating agent on the solubilization and dislodgement of CaCO3 under high salinity conditions were also explored. The optimal concentration of organic chelating agent is determined to be 1 % and 5 % for solubilization and dislodgement, respectively. It was found that the solubilization is achieved by inhibiting the stable and difficult to treat calcite crystal phase to generate more irregular and more dispersed aragonite CaCO3. Organic chelating agent contains a large number of carboxyl groups in its molecules, which can be adsorbed onto the surface of CaCO3 crystals through electrostatic adsorption. By chelating Ca2+ in stable and difficult to treat calcite CaCO3, the further ordered growth of the crystals is prevented, causing lattice distortion or large crystal rupture, thereby achieving dislodgement. This study will provide theoretical and technical support for the solubilization and dislodgement of salt blockage layer in wellbore at high salinity conditions.

In this paper, in order to study the effect of emulsification on the oil displacement of the system, several polymer, surfactant/polymer (S/P) and alkali/surfactant/polymer (A/S/P) systems were prepared for experiments. Firstly, the interfacial tension of each system was investigated. After the emulsion was prepared, the droplet size was observed by microscope and the intensity of the backscattered light during the destabilisation process of the emulsion was tested with the stability analyser. The TSI value was calculated to evaluate the stability of the emulsion. Finally, the Berea core displacement experiment (chemicals are used to displace oil from the core) was carried out to test the ability to enhance the oil recovery. The experimental results show that the emulsion formed by the A/S/P system with the simulation oil has the best stability. The chemical displacement recovery is the highest, which is 32.15 %. The emulsion stability of the S/P system is second, and the chemical displacement recoveries are 17.03 % and 20.76 %, respectively. The polymer system has no interfacial activity, does not form an emulsion, and has the lowest chemical displacement recovery of 8.02 %. This shows that the deeper the degree of emulsification of the system and the more stable the emulsion, the better the oil displacement effect of the oil displacement system.
