Abstract
We have studied the surface dilatational properties of aqueous foaming dispersions containing mixtures of silica nanoparticles (Ludox CL) and sulfobetaine (LHSB) in Tahe formation water. The effects of temperature and pH on the surface dilatational modulus and time shift were studied by oscillating drop module (ODM). The ODM results show that the surface dilatational modulus of mixtures of CL and LHSB is large and increases with the decrease of surface area deformation, which results from hydrophobic interaction between adsorbed mixtures. Under test conditions, the Gibbs stability criterion E > σ/2 against foam coarsening is fulfilled. Results of Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) show that an uniform adsorption layer is established at the air-water interface. Temperature and pH-value influence the dilatation modulus of the surface by hydrophobic interaction or adsorption. Time shift has a similar variation trend. This is a surprising feature. It suggests that LHSB adsorbed on CL can respond to surface tension gradient. The time shift difference results from the response of LHSB at different adsorption sites. In addition, sand pack tests show that compared to LHSB, a finer foam was produced by the mixtures CL/LHSB due to the capillary-induced \snap-off". Thus, higher pressure difference and higher oil recovery could be achieved.
Abstract
Wir haben die Oberflächendilatationseigenschaften von wässrigen schaumbildenden Dispersionen, die Mischungen von Silica-Nanopartikeln (Ludox CL) und Sulfobetain (LHSB) enthalten, in Wasser der Tahe-Formation untersucht. Die Auswirkungen von Temperatur und pH-Wert auf den Oberflächen-Dilatationsmodul und die Relaxationszeit wurden mit Hilfe des oszillierenden Tropfenmoduls (ODM) untersucht. Die ODM-Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Oberflächen-Dilatationsmodul von Mischungen aus CL und LHSB groß ist und mit der Abnahme der Oberflächendeformation zunimmt, die aus der hydrophoben Wechselwirkung zwischen adsorbierten Mischungen resultiert. Unter Testbedingungen wird das Gibbs-Stabilitätskriterium E > σ/2 gegen die Schaumvergröberung erfüllt. Ergebnisse der Brewster-Winkel-Mikroskopie zeigen, dass sich eine gleichmäßige Adsorptionsschicht an der Luft-Wasser-Grenzfläche ausbildet. Temperatur und pH-Wert beeinflussen den Oberflächen-Dilatationsmodul durch hydrophobe Wechselwirkung bzw. Adsorptions. Die Änderung der Relaxationszeit hat einen ähnlichen Trend. Dies ist ein überraschendes Merkmal. Es deutet darauf hin, dass an CL adsorbiertes LHSB auf den Oberflächenspannungsgradienten reagieren kann. Die Änderung der Relaxationszeit ergibt sich aus der Reaktion von LHSB an verschiedenen Adsorptionsstellen. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Sandpackversuche, dass im Vergleich zu LHSB mit den Mischungen CL/LHSB aufgrund des kapillarbedingten \snap-off" ein feinerer Schaum erzeugt wurde. Dadurch konnte eine höhere Druckdifferenz und eine höhere Ölrückgewinnung erzielt werden.
