“…For organic acids there are reports that IFT (a) passes through a minimum as the pH increases (3,25), (b) decreases continuously with increasing pH (26,(29)(30)(31), and (c) remains unchanged as the pH increases (27). The local minimum in IFT observed by Rudin and Wasan (25) and Lord et al (3) was attributed to the simultaneous adsorption of the anionic and neutral forms of the acid at the interface.…”

“…well known (5,10). Since the bitumen contains a mixture of carboxylic acids, with different molecular structures and molecular weights (6), a fraction of the carboxylate ions remain adsorbed at the interface, while the rest diffuse to the aqueous phase.…”

“…Upon adsorption of these natural surfactants at the crude oil/water interface, the interfacial tension may fall by several orders of magnitude to ultralow values (5,9,10). Under conditions of ultralow interfacial tensions, capillary forces are substantially reduced and oil displacement is facilitated (11).…”

“…As moléculas menores dissolvem-se na fase aquosa (pH ~ 5) e as maiores, no óleo, enquanto os homólogos dissolvem na fase aquosa (pH > 10). 34,[36][37][38] A presença de sais alcalinos, junto com o pH, deve ser responsável pelas sensíveis variações na estabilidade das emulsões de frações contendo ácidos naftênicos. [39][40][41][42] Os ácidos naftênicos presentes em asfaltenos formam um sistema difícil de analisar por técnicas espectroscópicas, já que a banda de absorção registrada tem um valor comum à de compósito.…”
