Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted great attention in the tertiary oil recovery process due to their unique properties. As an economical and efficient green synthesis method, biosynthesized nanoparticles have the advantages of low toxicity, fast preparation, and high yield. In this study, with the theme of biotechnology, for the first time, the bio-nanoparticles reduced by iron-reducing bacteria were compounded with the biosurfactant produced by Bacillus to form a stable bio-nano flooding system, revealing the oil flooding mechanism and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) potential of the bio-nano flooding system. The interfacial properties of the bio-nano-oil displacement system were studied by interfacial tension and wettability change experiments. The enhanced oil recovery potential of the bio-nano-oil displacement agent was measured by microscopic oil displacement experiments and core flooding experiments. The bio-nano-oil displacement system with different nanoparticle concentrations can form a stable dispersion system. The oil-water interfacial tension and contact angle decreased with the increase in concentration of the bio-nano flooding system, which also has a high salt tolerance. Microscopic oil displacement experiments proved the efficient oil displacement of the bio-nano-oil displacement system and revealed its main oil displacement mechanism. The effects of concentration and temperature on the recovery of the nano-biological flooding system were investigated by core displacement experiments. The results showed that the recovery rate increased from 4.53 to 15.26% with the increase of the concentration of the system. The optimum experimental temperature was 60 °C, and the maximum recovery rate was 15.63%.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 443:130267. [PMID: 36444047 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Surfactant foam (SF) can be used to remediate petroleum-contaminated soil because of its easy transfer to inhomogeneous and low-permeability formations. Nanoparticles (NPs) not only stabilize SF under extreme conditions but also impart various functions, aiding the removal of petroleum contaminants. This review discusses the stabilization mechanisms of nanoparticle-stabilized SF (NP-SF) as well as the effects of NP size, chargeability, wettability, and NP-to-surfactant ratio on foam stability. SF stabilized by inert SiO2 NPs is most commonly used to remediate soil contaminated with crude oil and diesel. Low dose of SF stabilized by nano zero-valent iron is cost-effective for treating soil contaminated with chlorinated organics and heavy metal ions. The efficiency and recyclability of Al2O3/Fe3O4 NPs in the remediation of diesel and crude oil contamination could be enhanced by applying a magnetic field. This review provides a theoretical basis and practical guidelines for developing functional NP-SF to improve the remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils. Future research should focus on the structural design of photocatalytic NPs and the application of catalytic NP-SF in soil remediation.

Abstract
Nowadays, the addition of nanoparticles to polymer solutions would be of interest; however, the feasible property of nanoparticles and their impact on oil recovery has not been investigated in more detail. This study investigates the rheology and capillary forces (interfacial tension and contact angle) of nanoparticles in the polymer performances during oil recovery processes. Thereby, a sequential injection of water, polymer, and nanoparticles; Nanosilica (SiO2) and nano-aluminium oxide (Al2O3) was performed to measure the oil recovery factor. Retention decrease, capillary forces reduction, and polymer viscoelastic behavior increase have caused improved oil recovery due to the feasible mobility ratio of polymer-nanoparticle in fluid loss. The oil recovery factor for polymer flooding, polymer-Al2O3, and polymer-SiO2 is 58%, 63%, and 67%, respectively. Thereby, polymer-SiO2 flooding would provide better oil recovery than other scenarios that reduce the capillary force due to the structural disjoining pressure. According to the relative permeability curves, residual oil saturation (Sor) and water relative permeability (Krw) are 29% and 0.3%, respectively, for polymer solution; however, for the polymer-nanoparticle solution, Sor and Krw are 12% and 0.005%, respectively. Polymer treatment caused a dramatic decrease, rather than the water treatment effect on the contact angle. The minimum contact angle for water and polymer treatment are about 21 and 29, respectively. The contact angle decrease for polymer treatment in the presence of nanoparticles related to the surface hydrophilicity increase. Therefore, after 2000 mg L-1 of SiO2 concentration, there are no significant changes in contact angle.
