“…In contrast, at a higher content of ammonia, the ammonium ions shield all the negative charges on the surface of the aluminum silicate, so that van der Waals attraction dominates over electrostatic repulsive force. Therefore, the diffusion layer is greatly reduced, and the thickness of the electric double layer becomes thinner, as shown in Figure 5 d. Thus, primary particles would be in an unstable state, and they would tend to aggregate with other neighboring particles [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. This result is consistent with a previous report [ 42 ], in which as the concentration of electrolyte increased the aggregation rate increased because it shielded the electrostatic repulsion between the particles.…”

Aluminum silicate powder was prepared using two different syntheses: (1) co-precipitation and (2) two-step sol-gel method. All synthesized powders were characterized by various techniques including XRD, FE-SEM, FT-IR, BET, porosimeter, and zetasizer. The particle morphology of the synthesized aluminum silicate powder was greatly different depending on the synthesis. The synthesized aluminum silicate powder by co-precipitation had a low specific surface area (158 m2/g) and the particle appeared to have a sharp edge, as though in a glassy state. On the other hand, synthesized aluminum silicate powder by the two-step sol-gel method had a mesoporous structure and a large specific surface area (430 m2/g). The aluminum silicate powders as adsorbents were characterized for their adsorption behavior towards Pb (II) ions and methylene blue in an aqueous solution performed in a batch adsorption experiment. The maximum adsorption capacities of Pb (II) ions and methylene blue onto the two-step sol-gel method powder were over four-times- and seven-times higher than that of the co-precipitation powder, respectively. These results show that the aluminum silicate powder synthesized with a two-step sol-gel method using ammonia can be a potential adsorbent for removing heavy metal ions and organic dyes from an aqueous solution.

“…Based on the DLVO theory, the total interaction energy between two surfaces could be calculated by the summation of the double electric layer energy ( V DLR ), born energy ( V BR ), London‐van der Waals energy ( V LVA ), and hydrodynamic interaction energy ( V HR ). [ 14,16,22,36,37 ]

V_{T} goodbreak= V_{DLR} goodbreak+ V_{BR} goodbreak+ V_{LVA} goodbreak+ V_{HR}

V LVA has the main role in attaching fines to the rock surfaces, which is shown in Equation ():

V_{LVA} goodbreak= goodbreak- \frac{A_{132} \times r_{FP}}{6 h} ([], 1 goodbreak- \frac{5.32 h}{l} \ln ((), 1 goodbreak+ \frac{l}{5.32 h}))

V DLR is the double electric layer, which is a function of fine particles' surface zeta potential. [ 11,16 ] As shown in Figure 2, there are two layers on the surface of fine particles, including stern and shear layers.…”

“…Whenever the total interaction energy of two surfaces is reduced, fines are more stable on rock surfaces. [ 22 ] By using the DLVO theory and Equation (), the total force applied to a fine particle when it was close to the rock surface in a porous media could be calculated. [ 16,37 ]

“…NPs, owing to their special features, have attracted great attention from researchers in the petroleum industry. [ 23–27 ] The most important properties of NPs are [ 22,28 ] : Movement of NPs in porous media due to their small diameter. High surface‐to‐volume ratios of NPs. High surface energy. Belcher et al [ 29 ] designed an experiment to investigate the NPs' effect on sand production and fine migration in a reservoir in the Gulf of Mexico. They injected NPs into the reservoir by using a hydraulic fracturing operation.…”

There are a lot of fine particles in sandstone reservoirs that are not strongly bonded to the rock's surface. These fine particles move with the fluid flow and cause formation damage and facilities' erosion. An effective method for preventing fine migration is using nanoparticles (NPs). In this study, modelling and experimental methods were utilized to investigate NPs' effect on fine migration. The Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory was used to model NPs' effect on the stability of fines on the rock's surface. Long sand packs were utilized to study the silicon dioxide NPs' effect on fine migration and location distribution of blockage in experiments at different pH and temperatures. Modelling results showed that the presence of NPs reduces the zeta potential of fine surfaces from −27.6 and −35.6 mV to −1.8 and −6.7 mV at pH = 8 and pH = 12, respectively. Based on the DLVO theory, it was concluded that NPs increase the particles' stability on the rock's surface. The experimental results showed that although fine migration increases with an increase in pH and temperature, the presence of SiO2 decreases it by 58% and 38% at pH = 8 and 12, respectively. The results showed that the performance of NPs reduced with an increase in pH and temperature. It was shown that the presence of NPs influences the location distribution of pressure drop and leads to permeability being more homogeneous in porous media during low salinity water injection.

The effect of the existence of nanoparticles on foam stability, foamability, and the oil recovery factor (RF) has been studied experimentally, and influential phenomena and mechanisms have been examined. A sequence of experiments, including, ‘foam bulk‐static experiments’, ‘surface tension (ST) measurements,’ and ‘micromodel foam flood,’ were designed and then implemented to study the foam behaviour in two foam systems: (1) anionic‐nanoparticles + cationic‐surfactant and (2) anionic‐nanoparticles + anionic‐surfactant. This study provides a comprehensive insight into the mechanisms affecting the stability of nanoparticle‐stabilized foam. Also, despite previous studies, the effect of Marangoni flow on nanoparticle‐stabilized foam has been discussed briefly. Results show that the interactions of effective mechanisms work differently in the two series. In the like‐charge system, surfactant molecules accumulate in the interface of lamellas due to repulsive forces; therefore, stability and foamability improve as surface tension and molecular diffusion reduce. Additionally, Marangoni flow restitutes the negative impact of gravity drainage. In the unlike‐charge system, observations illustrate that nanoparticles reach the interface. The presence of nanoparticles at the interface increases detachment energy significantly, and as a result, the stability is boosted. The accumulation of nanoparticles in the interface changes it to a solid‐like surface with limited diffusibility and viscosity. Although Marangoni flow is lost, reducing molecular diffusion improves foam stability. Flooding tests show that foam stability increment improves sweep efficiency at near‐wellbore areas even when foamability is weak. Finally, it can be claimed that in the unlike‐charge system, the sweep efficiency and foam stability increase to a greater extent.
