“…All these surfactants have high prices, which cause chemical process uneconomical in some situation (Austad et al, 1998). Recently, different plant surfactants are used for chemical flooding, for which they are more environmentally friendly compared with the synthetic surfactants (Deymeh et al, 2012;Pordel et al, 2012a;Ahmadi et al, 2014;Ravi et al, 2015). Pordel et al (2012b) used Saponin extracted from Z. spina-Christi trees leaves to investigate the interfacial tension (IFT) between Saponin-water-oil system.…”

“…They showed the Saponin as a nonionic surfactant to distilled water with 1 g/L NaCl can decrease the IFT from 48 to 9 dyn/cm. Deymeh et al (2012) used powder of Seidlitzia rosmarinus extracted from an aqueous solution of the Seidlitzia rosmarinus plant by means of a spray drying method. The interfacial tension values between natural surfactant solution and oil are measured by using the pendant drop method.…”

Recently, natural surfactants had been studied for chemical enhanced oil recovery as opposite to synthetic surfactants due to environmental problems associated with synthetic surfactants. In this study a new plant based natural surfactant, Matricaria chamomilla, is introduced. For this purpose, the interfacial tension values between natural surfactant solution and oil are measured by using the pendant drop method. The results show that Matricaria chamomilla decreased the oil-water interfacial tension values from 30.63 to 12.57 mN/m. Results confirm surface chemical activity of Matricaria chamomilla in comparison with other natural surfactants.

Energy consumption in the world is increasing every year while expanding technology trying to catch up with the demand of oil production. One of the technologies which has been widely used to enhance oil recovery is surfactant flooding. A variety of surfactants promote oil recovery are reviewed in this paper, with particular emphasis on the ability: (i) to lower the interfacial tension (ii) to adjust the pH and (iii) to stand the high salinity conditions of reservoirs. To date, surfactants studied in enhanced oil recovery applications can be categorized as chemical-based, bio-based and natural-based surfactants.

“…Eshnan (Seidlitzia rosmarinus) shrub is a perennial halophytic shrub belonging to Chenopodiaceae family commonly observed in parts of this vegetation zone. In addition to Iran, it grows in Middle East (Jordan, United Arabic Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan) and Central Asia (Hadi, 2009;Deymeh et al, 2012;Sagheb-Talebi et al, 2014). A majority of studies have been focused on the characteristics of this important species and impacts of environmental factors on its growth (Kurkova et al, 2002;Jafari et al, 2004;Abdollahi et al, 2006;Baghestani Maybodi and Zare, 2009;Zare Chahouki et al, 2010), its effects on soil and sand dunes stabilization (Amiraslani and Dragovich, 2011;Mahdavi Ardakani et al, 2011;Mahmoodi et al, 2013), as well as anatomical, physical and chemical properties of its wood (Safdari, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT:Evaluating the interactions of woody plants has been a major research topic of ecological investigations in arid ecosystems. Plant-plant interactions can shift from positive (facilitation) to negative (competition) depending on levels of environmental stress and determine the spatial pattern of plants. The spatial distribution analysis of plants via different summary statistics can reveal the interactions of plants and how they influence one another. An aggregated distribution indicates facilitative interactions among plants, while dispersion of species reflects their competition for scarce resources. This study was aimed to explore the intraspecific interactions of eshnan (Seidlitzia rosmarinus) shrubs in arid lands, central Iran, using different summary statistics (i.e., pair correlation function g(r), O-ring function O(r), nearest neighbour distribution function D(r), spherical contact distribution function Hs(r)).The observed pattern of shrubs showed significant spatial heterogeneity as compared to inhomogeneous Poisson process (α=0.05). The results of g(r) and O(r) revealed the significant aggregation of eshnan shrubs up to scale of 3 m (α=0.05). The results of D(r) and Hs(r) also showed that maximum distance to nearest shrub was 6 m and the distribution of the sizes of gaps was significantly different from random distribution up to this spatial scale. In general, it was concluded that there were positive interactions between eshnan shrubs at small scales and they were aggregated due to their intraspecific facilitation effects in the study area.
