As such, it plays a key role in hydrocarbon production and greenhouse gas geo-sequestration. We present a comprehensive and critical review of the current state of knowledge on the intermolecular forces governing wettability of rock minerals most relevant to subsurface fluid storage and recovery. In this review we first provide a detailed summary of the available data, both experimental and theoretical, from the perspective of the fundamental intermolecular and surface forces, specifically considering the roles played by the surface chemistry, fluid properties, as well as other significant factors. We subsequently offer an analysis of the effects of chemical additives such as surfactants and nanoparticles that have emerged as viable means for manipulating wettability. In each example, we highlight the practical implications for hydrocarbon production and CO₂ geo-storage as two of the most important current applications. As the physico-chemical mechanisms governing the wetting phenomena are the main focus, special emphasis is placed on nano-scale experimental approaches along with atomic-scale modeling that specifically probe the underlying intermolecular and surface forces. Lastly, we discuss the gaps in the current state of knowledge and outline future research directions to further our fundamental understanding of the interactions and their impact on the wetting characteristics of Earth's minerals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 103283"},"PeriodicalIF":15.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142271627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, computational methods such as molecular dynamics (MD), Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, quantum mechanics (QM) calculations, and machine learning (ML) methods are powerful tools used to study and predict the adsorption processes of dyes on various adsorbents. These methods provide detailed insights into the molecular interactions and mechanisms involved, which can be crucial for designing efficient adsorption systems. MD simulations, detailing molecular arrangements, predict dyes' adsorption behaviour and interaction energies with adsorbents. They simulate the entire adsorption process, including surface diffusion, solvent layer penetration, and physisorption. QM calculations, especially density functional theory (DFT), determine molecular structures and reactivity descriptors, aiding in understanding adsorption mechanisms. They identify stable adsorption configurations and interactions like hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces. MC simulations predict equilibrium properties and adsorption energies by sampling molecular configurations. ML methods have proven highly effective in predicting and optimizing dye adsorption processes. These models offer significant advantages over traditional methods, including higher accuracy and the ability to handle complex datasets. These methods optimize adsorption conditions, clarify adsorbent functionalization roles, and predict dye removal efficiency under various conditions. This research explores MD, MC, QM, and ML approaches to connect molecular interactions with macroscopic adsorption phenomena. Probing these techniques provides insights into the dynamics and energetics of dye pollutants on adsorption surfaces. The findings will aid in developing and optimizing new materials for dye removal.
