Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is one of the most promising cellulose derivatives. Due to its characteristic surface properties, mechanical strength, tunable hydrophilicity, viscous properties, availability and abundance of raw materials, low-cost synthesis process, and likewise many contrasting aspects, it is now widely used in various advanced application fields, for example, food, paper, textile, and pharmaceutical industries, biomedical engineering, wastewater treatment, energy production, and storage energy production, and storage and so on. Many research articles have been reported on CMC, depending on their sources and application fields. Thus, a comprehensive and well-organized review is in great demand that can provide an up-to-date and in-depth review on CMC. Herein, this review aims to provide compact information of the synthesis to the advanced applications of this material in various fields. Finally, this article covers the insights of future CMC research that could guide researchers working in this prominent field.

“…Within the BFWBM, CaCO 3 particles contributed to the buildup of the filter cake, forming a physical barrier to prevent fluid loss . Moreover, xanthan gum interaction with CaCO 3 strengthened the filter cake as the polymer fills up the void among CaCO 3 particles . Xanthan gum attachment to the CaCO 3 particles arises from the electrostatic interactions between the anionic groups of the polymer and the hydrated calcium sites on the CaCO 3 surface.…”

Theoretical and Experimental Approach for Understanding the Interactions Among SiO₂Nanoparticles, CaCO₃, and Xanthan Gum Components of Water-Based Mud

This study aims to understand the interactions among SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) and the main chemical constituents of bentonite-free water-based mud, including CaCO 3 and xanthan gum. To this end, both theoretical and experimental protocols are developed coupling molecular dynamics simulations with filtration and rheological property measurements of mud systems having different NP contents. The resultant filter cakes are inspected to capture the role of interactions among the deposited components. Static filtration tests at high pressure−temperature are carried out on a standard filter paper as well as an in-house prepared sandstone disk. The filtrate volume and filter cake thickness and permeability were reduced by 56, 36, and 72%, respectively, at an optimum NP content of 0.1 wt %. Using the sandstone disk, the mud with the optimum NP content showed a 72 and 59% reduction in spurt loss and total filtrate volume, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the NPs improved the morphology of the filter cake. The higher NP−sandstone interaction was successfully described by molecular dynamics simulations, which showed the highest interaction between sandstone and NPs followed by CaCO 3 and then the system xanthan gum and water polymer solution. Moreover, the theoretical analysis showed that SiO 2 NPs reduced the repulsion energy among the CaCO 3 surfaces, promoting a tighter filter cake and subsequently less mud filtrate, as evident experimentally.

Effect of carboxymethylcellulose on colloidal properties of calcite suspensions in drilling fluids

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Drilling fluids are multicomponent systems used to aid the removal of cuttings from a borehole, and subject to a number of requirements to ensure a safe drilling operation. One of the most important is to form a low permeability cake on the walls of the hole penetrated by the bit, to avoid excessive filtrate loss. To that end, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) associated with calcite (CaCO 3) can be used. In this paper, the effect of carboxymethylcellulose on the colloidal properties of calcite suspensions in brine was systematically evaluated by rheological properties, filtrate volume and zeta potential. Higher viscosity fluids, lower filtrate loss and less negative zeta potential were obtained using small calcite particles with wide size distribution and CMC with high average molecular weight (Mw) and low average degree of substitution (DS), highlighting the importance of effective interactions between CMC and calcite to improve drilling fluid properties.
