However, the effects of DES on the wettability of rock surface have not been thoroughly investigated in the reported studies. In this study, the effects of various DES samples on the wettability of sandstone samples are investigated using the Amott wettability measurement method. Three DES samples and several DES solutions and DES-surfactant solutions are firstly synthesized. Then, the wettability of the sandstone samples is measured using pure saline water, DES solutions, and DES-surfactant solutions, respectively. The effects of the DES samples on the wettability of the sandstone samples are investigated by comparing the measured wettability parameters, including oil displacement ratio (I_(o)), water displacement ratio (I_(w)), and wettability index (I_(A)). The Berea rock sample used in this study is weakly hydrophilic with I_(o), I_(w), and I_(A) of 0.318, 0.032, and 0.286, respectively. Being processed by the prepared DES samples, the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples is altered to hydrophilic (0.7 > I_(A) > 0.3) by increasing I_(w) but lowering Io. Similarly, DES-surfactant solutions can also modify the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples from weakly hydrophilic to hydrophilic. However, some DES-surfactant solutions can not only increase I_(w) but also increase I_(o), suggesting that the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples will be improved by the DES-surfactant solutions. In addition, micromodel flooding tests confirm the promising performance of a DES-surfactant solution in improving oil recovery and altering wettability. Moreover, the possible mechanisms of DES and DES-surfactant solutions in altering the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples are proposed. DES samples may improve the hydrophilicity by forming hydrogen bonds between rock surface and water molecules. For DES-surfactant solutions, surfactant micelles can capture oil molecules to improve the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples.展开更多

In terms of the calculated results, the commonly exposed surfaces of the two minerals were predicted and the relations between surface broken bonds densities and surface energies were analyzed. Then the anisotropic wettability of the commonly exposed surfaces was studied by means of contact angle measurement. The calculation results show that the （101^-4）, （213^-4）and （01 1^-8）surfaces for calcite and （111） for fluorite are the most commonly exposed surfaces and there is a good rectilinear relation between surface broken bond density and surface energy with correlation of determination （R^2） of 0.9613 and 0.9969, respectively. The anisotropic wettability of different surfaces after immersing in distilled water and sodium oleate solutions at different concentrations can be explained by anisotropic surface broken bond densities and active Ca sites densities, respectively.展开更多

Photo-polymeric resins were prepared from CAGE4MA. 2,2-bis[4-（2-hydroxy-3-methacrylyloxypropoxy）phenyllpropane （bis-GMA） was used for comparison, triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate （TEGDMA） was used as diluent. The polymerization was initiated by camphoroquinone （CQ）/N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate （DMAEMA） system. The conversion of CAGE4MA was 39% when the reaction time is 60s, which is lower than bis-GMA and TEGDMA. The swelling value of CAGE4MA resin was 0.41% in distilled water, which is much lower than those of bis-GMA resin （2.04%） and TEGDMA resin （4.77%） under the same conditions. Copolymers from CAGE4MA and TEGDMA have been prepared. With the increase of TEGDMA in mixture, the degree of conversion of CA GE4MA and swelling value increased. The swelling values of photocured resins in 0.1mol/L HCl were also measured.展开更多

文摘Some active metal oxides(Al_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),and Cr_(2)O_(3))were selected as dopants to the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shells for investment casting of K417G superalloy.The effects of dopant types and contents(0,2,5,and 8 wt.%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction between the alloy and shell were investigated by a sessile-drop experiment.The results show that increasing the Al_(2)O_(3) doping contents(0−8 wt.%)reduces the porosity(21.74%−10.08%)and roughness(3.22−1.34μm)of the shell surface.The increase in Cr_(2)O_(3) dopant content(2−8 wt.%)further exacerbates the interfacial reaction,leading to an increase in the thickness of the reaction layer(2.6−3.1μm)and a decrease in the wetting angle(93.9°−91.0°).The addition of Al_(2)O_(3) and TiO_(2) dopants leads to the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5) composite oxides in the reaction products,which effectively inhibits the interfacial reaction.The increase in TiO_(2) dopant contents(0−8 wt.%)further promotes the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5),which decreases the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer(3.9−1.2μm)and increases the wetting angle(95.0°−103.8°).The introduced dopants enhance the packing density of the shell surface,while simultaneously suppress the diffusion of active metal elements from the alloy matrix to the interface.
文摘In order to explore the mechanism of improving the surface wettability of low-energy polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)by new extended surfactants,five kinds of extended anionic surfactants with different numbers of oxypropylene(PO)and oxyethylene(EO),octadecyl-(PO)_(m)-(EO)_(n)-sodium carboxylate(C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C,m=5,10,15,n=5,10,15),were studied.The surface tension and contact angle of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C solution with different concentrations were measured,and the adhesion tension,PTFE-water interfacial tension,and adhesion work were calculated.It was found that the extended surfactant molecules adsorb on the surface of the solution and the PTFE-liquid interface simultaneously when the concentration is lower than the critical micelle concentration(cmc),and there was a linear relationship between surface tension and adhesion tension.The adsorption amount of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C at the PTFE-water interface was significantly lower than that on the surface of the solution.As the concentration increases above cmc,semi-micelle aggregates on the surface of PTFE are formed by C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C molecules through hydrophobic interaction,and the hydrophilic group faces the solution to modify the surface of PTFE with high efficiency.

文摘As the main factor influencing the flow and preservation of underground fluids,wettability has a profound impact on CO_(2)sequestration(CS).However,the influencing factors and internal interaction mechanisms of shale kerogen wettability remain unclear.In this study,we used molecular dynamics to simulate the influence of temperature,pressure,and salinity on wettability.Furthermore,the results were validated through various methods such as mean square displacement,interaction energy,electrostatic potential energy,hydrogen bonding,van der Waals forces,and electrostatic forces,thereby confirming the reliability of our findings.As temperature increases,water wettability on the surface of kerogen increases.At CO_(2)pressures of 10 and 20 MPa,as the temperature increases,the kerogen wettability changes from CO_(2)wetting to neutral wetting.As the CO_(2)pressure increases,the water wettability on the surface of kerogen weakens.When the pressure is below 7.375 MPa and the temperature is 298 or 313 K,kerogen undergoes a wettability reversal from neutral wetting to CO_(2)wetting.As salinity increases,water wettability weakens.Divalent cations(Mg2+and Ca2+)have a greater impact on wettability than monovalent cations(Na^(+)).Water preferentially adsorbs on N atom positions in kerogen.CO_(2)is more likely to form hydrogen bonds and adsorb on the surface of kerogen than H_(2)O.As the temperature increases,the number of hydrogen bonds between H_(2)O and kerogen gradually increases,while the increase in pressure reduces the number of hydrogen bonds.Although high pressure helps to increase an amount of CS,it increases the permeability of a cap rock,which is not conducive to CS.Therefore,when determining CO_(2)pressure,not only a storage amount but also the storage safety should be considered.This research method and results help optimize the design of CS technology,and have important significance for achieving sustainable development.

文摘Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have received great attention in assisting water flooding and surfactant flooding to improve oil recovery because they can reduce the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water, inhibit surfactant adsorption, and change the wettability of rock. However, the effects of DES on the wettability of rock surface have not been thoroughly investigated in the reported studies. In this study, the effects of various DES samples on the wettability of sandstone samples are investigated using the Amott wettability measurement method. Three DES samples and several DES solutions and DES-surfactant solutions are firstly synthesized. Then, the wettability of the sandstone samples is measured using pure saline water, DES solutions, and DES-surfactant solutions, respectively. The effects of the DES samples on the wettability of the sandstone samples are investigated by comparing the measured wettability parameters, including oil displacement ratio (I_(o)), water displacement ratio (I_(w)), and wettability index (I_(A)). The Berea rock sample used in this study is weakly hydrophilic with I_(o), I_(w), and I_(A) of 0.318, 0.032, and 0.286, respectively. Being processed by the prepared DES samples, the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples is altered to hydrophilic (0.7 > I_(A) > 0.3) by increasing I_(w) but lowering Io. Similarly, DES-surfactant solutions can also modify the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples from weakly hydrophilic to hydrophilic. However, some DES-surfactant solutions can not only increase I_(w) but also increase I_(o), suggesting that the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples will be improved by the DES-surfactant solutions. In addition, micromodel flooding tests confirm the promising performance of a DES-surfactant solution in improving oil recovery and altering wettability. Moreover, the possible mechanisms of DES and DES-surfactant solutions in altering the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples are proposed. DES samples may improve the hydrophilicity by forming hydrogen bonds between rock surface and water molecules. For DES-surfactant solutions, surfactant micelles can capture oil molecules to improve the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples.

文摘Anisotropic surface broken bond densities of six different surfaces of calcite and three surfaces of fluorite were calculated. In terms of the calculated results, the commonly exposed surfaces of the two minerals were predicted and the relations between surface broken bonds densities and surface energies were analyzed. Then the anisotropic wettability of the commonly exposed surfaces was studied by means of contact angle measurement. The calculation results show that the （101^-4）, （213^-4）and （01 1^-8）surfaces for calcite and （111） for fluorite are the most commonly exposed surfaces and there is a good rectilinear relation between surface broken bond density and surface energy with correlation of determination （R^2） of 0.9613 and 0.9969, respectively. The anisotropic wettability of different surfaces after immersing in distilled water and sodium oleate solutions at different concentrations can be explained by anisotropic surface broken bond densities and active Ca sites densities, respectively.

文摘A facile route for preparation of gradient wettability surface on copper substrate with contact angle changing from 90.3°to4.2°was developed.The Cu（OH）2 nanoribbon arrays were electrochemically deposited on copper foil via a modified anodization technology,and the growth degree and density of the Cu（OH）2 arrays may be controlled varying with position along the substrate by slowly adding aqueous solution of KOH into the two-electrode cell of an anodization system to form the gradient surface.The prepared surface was water resistant and thermal stable,which could keep its gradient wetting property after being immersed in water bath at 100℃ for 10 h.The results of scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,X-ray diffraction（XRD） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） demonstrate that the distribution of Cu（OH）2 nanoribbon arrays on copper surface are responsible for the gradient wettability.
文摘2＇-methacryloxy-3α, 7α, I2α- trimethacryloyl cholic acid ethyl ester （CAGE4MA） has been prepared from cholic acid. Photo-polymeric resins were prepared from CAGE4MA. 2,2-bis[4-（2-hydroxy-3-methacrylyloxypropoxy）phenyllpropane （bis-GMA） was used for comparison, triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate （TEGDMA） was used as diluent. The polymerization was initiated by camphoroquinone （CQ）/N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate （DMAEMA） system. The conversion of CAGE4MA was 39% when the reaction time is 60s, which is lower than bis-GMA and TEGDMA. The swelling value of CAGE4MA resin was 0.41% in distilled water, which is much lower than those of bis-GMA resin （2.04%） and TEGDMA resin （4.77%） under the same conditions. Copolymers from CAGE4MA and TEGDMA have been prepared. With the increase of TEGDMA in mixture, the degree of conversion of CA GE4MA and swelling value increased. The swelling values of photocured resins in 0.1mol/L HCl were also measured.

文摘[Objective] The aim was to improve the adhesive bonding property of wheat straw surface to prepare wheat straw particleboard of soy protein isolate （SPI） adhesive through chemical and enzyme treatments. [Method] Evaluation and analysis were made on wettability of wheat straws in the control group and treated groups （chemical and enzyme treatments） by means of measurement of contact angle and calculation of spreading-penetration parameters （K）. In addition, we made analysis on surface elements through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. [Result] The re- sults showed that K value of straw treated with sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and lipase increased by 58.0%, 48.7% and 83.2% compared to that of control group, respectively. The XPS analysis indicated that rapid decrease of silicon content and destruction of wax layer greatly contributed to wettability improvement of wheat straw surface. [Conclusion] The chemical and lipase treatments of wheat straw provided technical support for manufacture of wheat straw particle boand.

文摘Anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS)at varying concentrations was selected to investigate the influence on the wettability of Zhaozhuang Coal by molecular dynamics simulation.Six groups of water/surfactant/coal systems with different concentrations were constructed.The influence of surfactant with different concentrations on the wettability of coal was concluded by analyzing various properties from the energetic behaviors to the dynamic characteristics.The results show that the interfacial tension decreases sharply and then rises slowly with the increase of SDBS surfactant concentration,obtaining that surfactants can obviously reduce the interfacial tension.The surfactant molecules could be detected at the water/coal interface through analyzing the system’s relative concentration distribution.In addition,the difference in the wettability of surfactants on coal surfaces is caused by the spatial distribution differences of alkyl chains and the benzene ring of the surfactant molecules.And the negative interaction energy between SDBS and the coal surface indicates that adsorption process is spontaneous.Furthermore,it is of great practical significance for improving the dust reduction effect and reducing the disaster of coal dust by exploring the effects of surfactant molecules on the wettability of coal.
