dc.description.abstract | New synthesized nano materials have immensely attracted the researchers for further
development of nano enhanced oil recovery method particularly in nano flooding.
Interfacial tension measurement tests are the effective ways to identify proper
nanomaterials for enhanced oil recovery by nano/surfactant flooding. In this work zinc
oxide nano-crystallites were synthesized using self-combustion technique for application in
enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The synthesized sample were used to the measure interfacial
tension between their aqueous phase and crude oil phase to investigate the efficiency of the
nanoparticles in reduction of interfacial tension. Therefore this research is intended to
investigate the effect of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles towards surface/interfacial tension.
Practically ZnO nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field
Emission Scanning Electron microscope (FESEM) in order to understand its structure, size,
shape and morphology. The characterization results reveal the hexagonal structure of ZnO.
Pendant drop experiment was carried out to further understand the effect of nanoparticles
on Interfacial Tension (IFT). Since the Zinc Oxide solution was very “cloudy” the drop
phase could not be identified and the interfacial tension was not calculated by the software.
Due to this reason, the Surface Tension (ST) was calculated with different concentration.
The results show high value of ST 35.57 mN/m at 0.3 wt % of ZnO nanoparticles. | en_US |
