“…The implosion of bubbles occurs when the ultrasonic energy is not enough to maintain the vapor phase into the bubble. As a consequence, large amounts of energy are released which are responsible of sample tissue disruption [56,63,64].…”

Tomato seed (TS) wastes are obtained in large amounts from the tomato processing industry. In this work, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of antioxidant compounds from TS were optimized by using response surface methodology. The effect of MAE and UAE main extraction parameters was studied on total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (DPPH) responses. Antioxidant, structural, morphological, and thermal properties of MAE and UAE extracts were evaluated. A great influence of ethanol concentration was observed in both extraction methods. Optimal MAE conditions were determined as 15 min, 80 °C, 63% ethanol and 80 mL, with a desirability value of 0.914, whereas 15 min, 61% ethanol and 85% amplitude (desirability = 0.952) were found as optimal conditions for UAE. MAE extracts exhibited higher TPC and antioxidant activity values compared to UAE (1.72 ± 0.04 and 1.61 ± 0.03 mg GAE g TS−1 for MAE and UAE, respectively). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results suggested the presence of some high molecular weight compounds in UAE extracts. Chlorogenic acid, rutin and naringenin were identified and quantified by HPLC-DAD-MS as the main polyphenols found by MAE and UAE, showing MAE extracts higher individual phenolics content (1.11–2.99 mg 100 g TS−1). MAE and UAE have shown as effective green techniques for extracting bioactive molecules with high antioxidant activity from TS with high potential to be scaled-up for valorizing of TS industrial wastes.

“…An ultrasonic viscosity reduction technology of crude oil belongs to an application of the ultrasonic cavitation effect, which has the advantages of an obvious effect, no pollution, good safety, and low costs. By introducing ultrasonic wave into a process of catalytic upgrading and viscosity reduction for heavy oil, a chemical reaction rate and the production of the target substance can be further increased and the conditions of a catalytic reaction can be reduced [168]. A lot of studies have shown that the promotion of ultrasonic waves on the catalytic reaction is due to an extremely high temperature and highpressure physical and chemical environment generated when ultrasonic cavitation bubbles collapse.…”

In situ catalytic upgrading of heavy oil decomposes viscous heavy oil underground through a series of complex chemical and physical reactions with the aid of an injected catalyst, and permits the resulting lighter components to flow to the producer under a normal pressure drive. By eliminating or substantially reducing the use of steam, which is prevalently used in current heavy oil productions worldwide and is a potent source of contamination concerns if not treated properly, in situ catalytic upgrading is intrinsically environmental-friendly and widely regarded as one of the promising techniques routes to decarbonize the oil industry. The present review provides a state-of-the-art summarization of the technologies of in situ catalytic upgrading and viscosity reduction in heavy oil from the aspects of catalyst selections, catalytic mechanisms, catalytic methods, and applications. The various types of widely used catalysts are compared and discussed in detail. Factors that impact the efficacy of the in situ upgrading of heavy oil are presented. The challenges and recommendations for future development are also furnished. This in-depth review is intended to give a well-rounded introduction to critical aspects on which the in situ catalytic application can shed light in the development of the world’s extra heavy oil reservoirs.

“…They reported that low ultrasonic frequencies of 20 kHz had a greater influence on emulsion stability than higher frequencies of 40 kHz. When compared to the microorganisms alone, the influence of ultrasound on emulsion stability was not entirely evident, and it is recommended that additional research studies be conducted in this area [23]. The emulsion's behavior during oil flow is complicated, yet it may be beneficial to oil recovery.…”

“…The creation of emulsions during crude oil production is unavoidable [32]. Underground formation water may exceed 90% in oil reservoirs [23], and the presence of turbulence during the flow of the water/oil mixture may generate crude oil emulsion. Asphaltenes, which are abundant in heavy oil reservoirs, may act as a natural surfactant leading to the formation of emulsions.…”

The Utilization of Ultrasound for Improving Oil Recovery and Formation Damage Remediation in Petroleum Reservoirs: Review of Most Recent Researches

The ultrasound method is a low-cost, environmentally safe technology that may be utilized in the petroleum industry to boost oil recovery from the underground reservoir via enhanced oil recovery or well stimulation campaigns. The method uses a downhole instrument to propagate waves into the formation, enhancing oil recovery and/or removing formation damage around the wellbore that has caused oil flow constraints. Ultrasonic technology has piqued the interest of the petroleum industry, and as a result, research efforts are ongoing to fill up the gaps in its application. This paper discusses the most recent research on the investigation of ultrasound’s applicability in underground petroleum reservoirs for improved oil recovery and formation damage remediation. New study areas and scopes were identified, and future investigations were proposed.
