The results show that the DEF replacement with DMF and reduction of the raw material molar ratio from 3 : 1 to 1.47 : 1 provides an increase of the BET surface area from ~935 to 2388 m²/g, and an improvement of the CO₂ adsorption capacity from ~0.8 to 2.5 mmol/g (298 K, 100 kPa).

This study aims to develop a sustainable solution to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil by exploiting oscillating bubbles within the fluid. This is because traditional methods by drag reduction additives cause environmental pollution and dangerous emissions, in addition to their high economic cost. An ultrasonic device with a constant power of 150 W and a frequency of 40 kHz was used at different temperatures, while the ultrasonic irradiation time was 10 and 15 min. A viscosity reduction rates (VRR) factor was used to determine changes in viscosity. The viscosity reduction rate (VRR) was at its best at an irradiation time of 10 min under the present experimental conditions and at different temperatures, where it reached more than 36%. At 70°C, when the irradiation time reached 15 min, the viscosity of the oil samples increased. The results indicate that the cavitation, thermal, and mechanical effects of ultrasound can break the long carbon chains of crude oil and form short chains, thus reducing the viscosity. The increase in viscosity after increasing the irradiation time can be attributed to the re-association between molecules.

From an economic standpoint, the water present with oil adds an operational burden to the installations, pipes, pumps, and tanks as a result of transporting and storing useless water. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical demulsifiers and ultrasonic techniques in demulsifying crude oil emulsions in Basra, where a simulated emulsion was prepared. Basra crude oil sample (29.6 API) was mixed with different percentages of distilled water (15, 30, and 50%) and 3% calcium, sodium and magnesium salts. The preparation process was carried out using a homogenizer with a mixing speed of 7000 rpm and a duration for 15 min. The effect of mixing speed on the stability of the emulsion was studied and then the emulsion was tested with several speeds (3000, 5000, and 7000 rpm) and its effect on the size of the water droplet dispersed in the emulsion. An advanced optical microscope was used to measure the volume of a water drop. Indirect ultrasound bath was used as a demulsification technique. The utilize of ultrasonic technology as a method for treating emulsions in crude oil is a new method and has not been applied so far in the oil industries, although it has not proven its efficiency in oil treatment processes, but it is considered a support method that has proven its worth as an aid to chemical treatment technology.

Then the separation efficiency reaching 96% for emulsion with water component 50 and 93% for emulsion with water component 30 and 91% for emulsion 15% and at a demulsifier dose of 12 ppm, when the emulsifier dose was increased, the separation rate increased, reaching 99% with a dose of 16 ppm. The effect of heat on the efficiency of the separation was studied, as the increase in temperature increased the proportion of separated water. While the increase in the percentage of salts in the emulsion gave the opposite result, as the highest separation efficiency was recorded in pure water, and the percentage began to decrease as the percentage of salt increased, finally the study concluded that the combination of chemical demulsifiers and ultrasonic techniques significantly enhances the s","PeriodicalId":725,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Chemistry","volume":"65 5","pages":"558 - 565"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145122402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
