Kilpatrick Affiliation: North Carolina State University This grant is awarded through the Separations and Purification Program sub-element of the Interfacial, Transport and Separations Program of the Chemical and Transport Systems Division. The principal investigator is Dr. Peter Kilpatrick at North Carolina State University. The research involves fundamental studies on the emulsion and foam formation characteristics of asphaltenes commonly found in the petroleum industry. Such asphaltene based emulsions are made up of viscoelastic films formed by crosslinking of primary aggregates. These crosslinked flocculates are environmentally deleterious as they may pose health hazards as endocrine disruptors. Additionally, they form waxy dispersions that tend to plug exploration and transmission pipelines. The objective of the work is to elucidate the mechanisms of formation, the stability aspects and rheological properties of these emulsions. Such fundamental studies will open the way to mitigate the formation of these emulsions.

Kilpatrick该拨款是通过化学和运输系统部界面、运输和分离项目的分离和净化项目子项目授予的。首席研究员是北卡罗莱纳州立大学的彼得·基尔帕特里克博士。该研究涉及石油工业中常见的沥青质的乳化和泡沫形成特性的基础研究。这种沥青质乳液是由初集料交联形成的粘弹性膜组成的。这些交联絮凝剂对环境有害，因为它们可能作为内分泌干扰物对健康造成危害。此外，它们形成的蜡状分散物往往会堵塞勘探和输送管道。本工作的目的是阐明这些乳剂的形成机制、稳定性和流变性能。这些基础研究将为减缓这些乳剂的形成开辟道路。
