Research Progress on Simulation of Emulsification Behavior and Interfacial Properties of Crude Oil
The recovery and refinement of the crude oil involves large quantity of oil-water emulsion.The emulsion stability needs to be enhanced or weakened in different processes.Due to the variation of the crude oil composition and the molecular structure,different emulsion has various stability.The deep insight into the stabilization mechanism and the impact factor in difficult,which hindered the emulsification or the demulsification process promotion.A series of problems still exist in the crude oil production.The complexity of the crude oil makes it difficult to correlate the emulsion stability to the oil composition and structure.Therefore,the molecular dynamics simulation plays an important role as the complementary of the experiment.In this manuscript,the study on the crude oil emulsion is revised,especially about the simulation,so as to provide some reference for the structure-effect correlation between the emulsion stability and the crude oil component.
