“…Then, n-heptane is added to the solutions to attain the desired concentration of n-C 7 asphaltenes in the chosen Heptol proportions, and the solution is stirred again for 72 h to ensure n-C 7 asphaltene stability (Maqbool, Balgoa, & Fogler, 2009;Nassar et al, 2015a). Before the adsorption experiments, it was corroborated that the n-C 7 asphaltenes do not precipitate from the prepared model solutions using the Oliensis spot test number (Asomaning, 2003;Oliensis, 1935) and polarized light microscopy (Franco et al, 2015;Mohammadi, Akbarit, Fakhroueian, Bahramian, & Sharareh, A. 2011).…”
