The role of Athabasca asphaltene particles and molecules in stabilizing emulsions was examined by measuring the surface area of water-in-toluene/hexane emulsions stabilized by various asphaltene fractions, each with a different proportion of soluble and insoluble asphaltenes. The stabilized interfac

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the range 1100-2250 nm together with a latent-variable regression technique is used to analyze the content of asphaltene and resins in solution. It is shown that this technique is capable of determining the amount of these components individually. w/o emulsions we
The effect of crude oil resins with various polar characters on the stability of w/o model emulsions containing asphaltenes is investigated using a mixture design. The resins were extracted using an adsorption-desorption technique. One asphaltene fraction and four different resin fractions from one
Oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by caseins were made using a microfluidizer. The average diameters of the emulsion droplets were determined by quasi-elastic light scattering. A technique of enzymatic breakdown of the adsorbed protein layer together with light scattering was employed to study the t
