Interaction of Amphiphilic Polymers with Medium-Chain Fatty Alcohols to Enhance Rheological Performance and Mobility Control Ability

Abstract: To improve the efficiency of mobility control for polymer flooding, a novel thickening system was formed by adding medium-chain fatty alcohols to hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide (HMPAM) brine solutions. The interaction of HMPAM with fatty alcohols was investigated in terms of rheology properties, aggregate microstructure, and mobility control ability. The results show that n-octanol (C8OH) generates the best synergistic behavior with HMPAM compared to other fatty alcohols. More hydrophobic groups initi… Show more

“…The ratio of the fluorescence intensity of the first peak ( I 1 ) to the third peak ( I 3 ) reflects the micropolarity of the system. [ 70,71 ] Figure a displays the fluorescence spectrum of pyrene in 1000 mg L −1 PAAC solution with the different surfactant concentrations. Accordingly, I 1 / I 3 values as a function of the composite with different mass ratio of polymer to surfactant can be calculated.…”

“…Also, interactions with nonionic surfactants have been subject of relatively few publications. Often, they are studied in combination with charged surfactants, to investigate competitive or synergistic effects [53][54][55][56][57]. A very limited number of studies focus on interactions of ABPE with surfactants [58][59][60][61][62][63].…”
