Based on cationic and anionic surfactant mixed systems, ultra-low interfacial tension was achieved in the Karamay oil field systems. Upon the addition of a non-ionic third component, the solubility of the mixed cationic-anionic surfactant systems increased significantly. The mixed surfactant ratio and the concentration were determined by the application in the five areas of the Karamay oil field. The interfacial tension in some real systems was found to be around 10-4 mN•m-1. These cationic and anionic surfactant mixed systems have a super-resistance adsorption capacity. The results show that after 72 h of quartz adsorption, these systems can still reduce the interfacial tension to an ultra-low level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
