In this research, a novel natural-based polymer, the Aloe Vera biopolymer, is used to improve the mobility of the injected water. Unlike most synthetic chemical polymers used for chemical-enhanced oil recovery, the Aloe Vera biopolymer is environmentally friendly, thermally stable in reservoir conditions, and compatible with reservoir rock and fluids. In addition, the efficiency of the Aloe Vera biopolymer was investigated in the presence of a new synthetic nanocomposite composed of KCl−SiO 2 −xanthan. This chemically enhanced oil recovery method was applied on a sandstone reservoir in Southwest Iran with crude oil with an API gravity of 22°. The Aloe Vera biopolymer's physicochemical characteristics were initially examined using different analytical instruments. The results showed that the Aloe Vera biopolymer is thermally stable under reservoir conditions. In addition, no precipitation occurred with the formation brine at the salinity of 80,000 ppm. The experimental results showed that adding ethanol with a 10% volume percentage reduced interfacial tension to 15.3 mN/m and contact angle to 108°, which was 52.33 and 55.56% of these values, respectively. On the other hand, adding nanocomposite lowered interfacial tension and contact angle values to 4 mN/m and 48°, corresponding to reducing these values by 87.53 and 71.42%, respectively. The rheology results showed that the solutions prepared by Aloe Vera biopolymer, ethanol, and nanocomposite were Newtonian and fitted to the Herschel−Bulkley model. Finally, core flooding results showed that the application of a solution prepared by Aloe Vera biopolymer, ethanol, and nanocomposite was effective in increasing the oil recovery factor, where the maximum oil recovery factor of 73.35% was achieved, which could be attributed to the IFT reduction, wettability alteration, and mobility improvement mechanisms.

“…The activity of carbohydrate metabolism in strawberry plays an important role in maintaining postharvest quality. In this study, due to the continuous metabolic and respiratory consumption of strawberries, the sugar content was reduced, which was manifested as a reduced SSC content ( Tang et al, 2023 ). The decline rate of soluble solids in WEAX group was slower than that in CK group and CMCS group.…”

“…The rheological properties of WEAX solution, including its shear thinning behaviour and weak gel behaviour illustrated by the increasing apparent viscosity with higher concentration and G ′ > G ″ at any concentration (1%–4%), indicate that WEAX solution possesses film forming properties (Yifan et al ., 2022; Hao et al ., 2023). These properties are reflected in its apparent viscosity and viscoelastic behaviour, providing a foundation for investigating its film‐forming capability.…”

SummaryA significant volume of gluten production wastewater, containing arabinoxylan, is generated during wheat processing, presenting an underutilised resource. In this study, water‐extractable arabinoxylan (WEAX) was obtained from this wastewater through water extraction and alcohol precipitation, followed by purification, and its chemical and rheological properties were subsequently investigated. The analysis revealed a mean molecular weight of 4.57 × 104 Da for WEAX, with arabinose (38.08%) and xylose (43.77%) as the predominant monosaccharides. Notably, the sample exhibited characteristic structural properties of arabinoxylan, as confirmed by FT‐IR spectra. Scanning electron microscopy further revealed a heterogeneous solid morphology, comprising filamentous flake and spherical structures. Moreover, WEAX demonstrated favourable thermal stability and revealed shear‐thinning behaviour, as well as weak gelation, as evidenced by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, and rheological analysis. This study not only presents a novel approach for the resource treatment of wheat gluten production wastewater but also contributes new insights into the characterisation of arabinoxylan.
