Abstract
The technological landscape for industrial processes handling asphaltene is evolving at a rapid pace due to the increase in the extraction of heavy crude oil. The main underlying challenges in this regard are the flow assurance, the recovery of the spent solvent, and the sophisticated extractor setup required to develop the process to an industrial scale. The number of studies focused on the handling of the asphaltene at the atomic and molecular scales is growing enormously in order to identify new sustainable solvents for the effective extraction of asphaltene from heavy crude oil or oil-bearing sands. This Perspective focuses on the importance of density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations to explore the broader range of asphaltene inhibitors, e.g., nanoparticles, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents, to prevent asphaltene precipitation. We provide a concise overview of the major accomplishments, analyze the aspects that require attention, and highlight the path-breaking studies having a significant impact on the process of chemical enhanced oil recovery from heavy crude oil reservoirs primarily based on atomistic and molecular simulations.

Ionenes as Potential Phase Change Materials with Self-Healing Behavior. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4460.

Abstract
Ionenes are poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) comprising a polymer backbone with ionic groups along the structure. Ionenes as solid-solid phase change materials are a recent research field, and some studies have demonstrated their potential in thermal dissipation into electronic devices. Eight ionenes obtained through Menshutkin reactions were synthesized and characterized. The analysis of the thermal tests allowed understanding of how the thermal properties of the polymers depend on the aliphatic nature of the dihalogenated monomer and the carbon chain length. The TGA studies concluded that the ionenes were thermally stable with T10% above 420 °C. The DSC tests showed that the prepared ionenes presented solid-solid transitions, and no melting temperature was appreciated, which rules out the possibility of solid-liquid transitions. All ionenes were soluble in common polar aprotic solvents. The hydrophilicity of the synthesized ionenes was studied by the contact angle method, and their total surface energy was calculated. Self-healing behavior was preliminarily explored using a selected sample. Our studies show that the prepared ionenes exhibit properties that make them potential candidates for applications as solid-solid phase change materials.

Advances in green solvents for production of polysaccharide-based packaging films: Insights of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:1030-1057. [PMID: 36579838 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The problems with plastic materials and the good film-forming properties of polysaccharides motivated research in the development of polysaccharide-based films. In the last 5 years, there has been an explosion of publications on using green solvents, including ionic liquids (ILs), and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as candidates to substitute the conventional solvents/plasticizers for preparations of desired polysaccharide-based films. This review summarizes related properties and recovery of ILs and DESs, a series of green preparation strategies (including pretreatment solvents/reaction media, ILs/DESs as components, extraction solvents of bioactive compounds added into films), and inherent properties of polysaccharide-based films with/without ILs and DESs. Major reported advantages of these new solvents are high dissolving capacity of certain ILs/DESs for polysaccharides (i.e., up to 30 wt% for cellulose) and better plasticizing ability than traditional plasticizers. In addition, they frequently display intrinsic antioxidant and antibacterial activities that facilitate ILs/DESs applications in the processing of polysaccharide-based films (especially active food packaging films). ILs/DESs in the film could also be further recycled by water or ethanol/methanol treatment followed by drying/evaporation. One particularly promising approach is to use bioactive cholinium-based ILs and DESs with good safety and plasticizing ability to improve the functional properties of prepared films. Whole extracts by ILs/DESs from various byproducts can also be directly used in films without separation/polishing of compounds from the extracting agents. Scaling-up, including costs and environmental footprint, as well as the safety and applications in real foods of polysaccharide-based film with ILs/DESs (extracts) deserves more studies.

Abstract
This study endeavors to apply experimental and theoretical analyses to assess the viability of wettability alteration for two carboxylic acid-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). To prepare these chemicals, oxalic acid and citric acid were used as hydrogen bond donors mixed with choline chloride as the hydrogen bond acceptor in an equimolar ratio. In the theoretical part, dolomite and crude oil were characterized using a three-phase setup. Then, the adhesion propensity of brines/crude oil toward dolomite was evaluated by calculating the work of adhesion. Contact angle and interfacial tension measurements were conducted in the experimental part to investigate the impact of chemicals on brine-crude oil and brine-rock interactions. Results revealed that the oxalic acid-based DES outperformed the citric acid-based DES in terms of interfacial tension reduction. In addition, choline chloride/oxalic acid (1:1) could effectively restore the wettability of the dolomite sample to its original state with a wettability alteration index of 82%. Theoretical calculations also confirmed the wettability alteration potential of DESs. Finally, a correlation was proposed to predict the contact angle of brine on the dolomite surface in the presence of crude oil using surface-energy components of brine, crude oil, and dolomite.
