Rezaei A, Karami S, Karimi AM, Vatanparast H, Sadeghnejad S. New molecular and macroscopic understandings of novel green chemicals based on Xanthan Gum and bio-surfactants for enhanced oil recovery. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12752. [PMID: 38831003 PMCID: PMC11148032 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63244-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
This research investigates the interactions between a novel environmentally friendly chemical fluid consisting of Xanthan gum and bio-based surfactants, and crude oil. The surfactants, derived from various leaves using the spray drying technique, were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, Dynamic light scattering, and evaluation of critical micelle concentration. Static emulsion tests were conducted to explore the emulsification between crude oil and the polymer-surfactant solution. Analysis of the bulk oil FTIR spectra revealed that saturated hydrocarbons and light aromatic hydrocarbons exhibited a higher tendency to adsorb onto the emulsion phase. Furthermore, the increased presence of polar hydrocarbons in emulsion phases generated by polar surfactants confirmed the activation of electrostatic forces in fluid-fluid interactions. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that the xanthan solution without surfactants had a greater potential to adsorb asphaltenes with highly fused aromatic rings, while the presence of bio-based surfactants reduced the solution's ability to adsorb asphaltenes with larger cores. Microfluidic tests demonstrated that incorporating surfactants derived from Morus nigra and Aloevera leaves into the xanthan solution enhanced oil recovery. While injection of the xanthan solution resulted in a 49.8% recovery rate, the addition of Morus nigra and Aloevera leaf-derived surfactants to the xanthan solution increased oil recovery to 58.1% and 55.8%, respectively.

Abstract
To decrease the negative impact of surfactants, the idea of using purified water in washing has been proposed. Previous studies showed that purified water facilitates the roll-up mechanism by promoting electrostatic interactions between the surface and the soil. However, washing mechanisms can be dependent on the amount of remaining soil. In this work we studied the removal of thin Vaseline films and thicker oil films from hydrophilic surfaces using multiple washing cycles at different temperatures. The Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and gravimetric analysis were used for thin and thick films respectively. In QCM-D experiments most of the thin film was removed during the first two cycles, while following cycles did not substantially affect washing efficiency; increased temperature facilitated the washing process. Gravimetric analysis showed that the washing of thicker films can be divided into two regimes. During the first, exponential, regime the amount of oil on the surface is high and surface mechanisms, such as roll-up, dominate. Oil droplets are kinetically stabilized in purified water by electrostatic interactions. As the amount of oil on the surface decreases, the second, linear, regime is introduced. The removal of oil occurs by equilibrium bulk mechanisms, where electrostatic interactions are less important.

Abstract
In this study, saponins extracted from leaves and stem bark of Jatropha curcas L. were investigated for surface-active properties. Conductivity and surface tension measurements revealed the micellar character of J. curcas saponin, with the average CMC, determined to be 0.50 g/L and 0.75 g/L for leaf and stem bark saponin, respectively. Stem bark saponin reduced the surface tension of water to a greater extent (γCMC= 37.65 mN/m) compared to leaf saponin (γCMC= 49.27 mN/m) indicating its efficient surface activity and potential detergency. pH measurement confirmed the weakly acidic nature of saponin with a pH value lying slightly below the range suitable for hair and skin. Stem bark saponin showed better cleaning ability, foaming ability and foam stability than leaf saponin, due to a sufficient reduction in the surface tension of water. The results obtained suggest that the saponin extracted from both the leaves and stem bark of J. curcas can be used as environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic surfactants.

Abstract
Abstract
Saponins are natural surfactants that are readily biodegradable, generally non-toxic to humans and environmentally friendly. In this work, the surface properties, coffee ring effect and characterisation of the extract of Albizia procera pod were studied. It showed good washing power and good soil or dirt dispersion and cleaned effectively at low surface tension. The extract is equivalent to commercial detergents, making it a viable biosurfactant. In addition to the critical micelle concentration, there is a lower concentration at which the surface tension curves flatten out. We have named this concentration “Minor Critical Micelle Concentration”. The surfactant also reduces the coffee ring effect of a drying droplet and provides a reasonably uniform distribution of suspended particles. This effect can be used to estimate the critical micelle concentration. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the extract shows the presence of the functional groups –OH, C–H, C=C and C–O–C, which are also found in saponins.

Abstract
Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn., also called the washnut, is a tropical tree of the Sapindaceae family. The plant owes its name to its cleaning and washing properties used by the local population as a natural detergent. The most important ingredients of the plant are triterpenoid saponins contained in many parts of the plant, inducing fruits, galls, or roots. The tree also contains other valuable, biologically active compounds that are obtained by extraction methods. Raw or purified extract and isolated saponins are valuable plant products that can be used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. This review includes the most important biological and surfactant properties of extracts and isolated saponins obtained from various parts of the plant.

Abstract
In this paper, the behavior of foam in a porous medium is studied in order to understand the effect of the fluid velocity on foam properties. This aspect is crucial during foam injection, as due to radial effects the foam velocity largely decreases around the injection well. The foam properties are detailed through the use of a new local equilibrium foam model parameter estimation approach using an improved new shear function and based on the most widely used STARS model developed by the Computer Modeling Group (CMG). A new mode of calculation of the STARS model parameters is then presented in order to allow both a semiautomated fitting of several quality scan pressure curves and a consideration of the role of the total velocity. The approach is tested through column experiments done at various velocities and gas fractions. Furthermore, the proposed model is also tested on literature results in order to validate it for very different experimental conditions. This study and the fitted results are then used to understand, on both our column experiments and the literature data, the existence of two shear effects and their origins.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Detergents used in everyday life for cleaning and washing are a source of water pollution and can have a negative effect on human health and the environment. To reduce their negative impact, a new trend of using only purified water for washing and cleaning applications is emerging. A scientific basis of this method needs to be established, as its mechanisms and the efficiency should be better understood. EXPERIMENTS In this work, we investigate the effect of water purity on the removal of hydrophobic films from solid surfaces using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and gravimetric experiments. We compared the cleaning efficiency of TAP water, two grades of purified water, NaCl solution and SDS solution. FINDINGS The QCM-D results show that both grades of purified water remove more than 90% of Vaseline deposited of the surface while tap water only 75%. SDS solution fully removes the deposited layer. Gravimetric experiments with removal of olive oil from hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces also indicate higher efficiency of purified water grades. Contact angle experiments show that pure water facilitates roll-up mechanism of cleaning. We suggest that due to lower ionic strength, purified water increases electrostatic repulsion and promotes the cleaning process.

Abstract
Abstract
Amphiphilic molecules reduce the surface tension of the aqueous medium and are widely used in industrial and domestic applications due to this property. Nowadays, amphiphilic molecules on a natural basis are in great demand to replace synthetic surfactants and thus contribute to the reduction of environmental problems. Approximately 60% of the material based on surfactants end up in seawater, which is dangerous for aquatic life. We are proposing a new type of material, which is a surfactant on a natural basis, biodegradable and an environmentally friendly alternative. Here we focus on tea saponin and study its properties such as surface tension, foaming, skin mildness, cleanability. Tea is naturally acidic, reduces the surface tension to 31.4 mN/m, has a greater foaming power, is ultra-mild to skin, and has excellent cleaning properties. The results show that tea has excellent surface activity, which is why tea can be used as a green substitute for synthetic surfactants.

Abstract
Surfactants derived from renewable sources such as plants are an ecological alternative to synthetic surfactants. Aqueous solutions of natural surfactants extracted from soapnuts obtained from two plants, Sapindus mukorossi and Sapindus trifoliatus, were studied. Their properties in terms of surface tension reduction and wettability were examinated. The natural surfactants show the ability to reduce the surface tension and increase the wettability of the hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene surface. These nuts can be used repeatedly for washing also in hard water. Crude extracts from Sp. trifoliatus exhibit better surface properties than those from Sp. mukorossi. This makes these soapnuts a good potential source of biosurfactants for household use.

Abstract
Fate, transport and accumulation of nanoplastics have attracted considerable attention in the past few years. While actual researches have been focused on nanoplastics dispersed or aggregated in different environmental system, no study have been focused on the possibility that nanoplastics are co-transported with other natural or anthropogenic materials. Therefore, the large quantity of debris released in the environment, such as cigarette butts (CGB), could be part of the nanoplastics fate and behavior. Here we show the considerable sorption capacities of cigarette filters for nanoplastics. To address this topic, we chose polystyrene-based nanoplastics with similar state of charge (according to the physico-chemical characteristic of the zeta potential -45 to -40 mV) but with different sizes (50-800 nm) and morphologies. A kinetic approach to sorption in fresh water (pH = 8.05; 179.5 μS cm-1) at room temperature was carried out by means of the flow field flow analysis method (AF4) to determine the partition coefficients and water sampling rates between nanoplastics and cigarette butts. Using different models of, more or less environmentally relevant, nanoplastics (NPTs) and adequate analytical strategies, we found partition coefficients between the NPTs and CGBs ranged from 102 to 104 in freshwater conditions. We demonstrated that the physical features of the NPTs (size and morphology) have an influence on the sorption behaviour. Asymmetrical shaped NPTs with broader size distribution seems to be mostly retained in the CGBs after longer equilibration time. This result shows the importance of the NPTs features on the mechanisms governing their transfer and fate in the environment through environmental matrices, especially when other materials are involved. We anticipate our work to be a starting point for investigating the co-transport of NPTs with other materials present in the environment (natural and anthropogenic).

Abstract
An antibacterial and plant growth promoting nanoemulsion was formulated using thymol, an essential oil component of plant and Quillaja saponin, a glycoside surfactant of Quillaja tree. The emulsion was prepared by a sonication method. Fifty minutes of sonication delivered a long term stable thymol nanoemulsion which was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cryogenic-field emission scanning electron microscopy (Cryo-FESEM) and fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. Creaming index, pH and dilution stability were also studied for deliberation of its practical applications. The nanoemulsion (0.01-0.06%, v/v) showed substantial in vitro growth inhibition of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycine of soybean (6.7-0.0 log CFU/ml). In pot experiments, seed treatment and foliar application of the nanoemulsion (0.03-0.06%, v/v) significantly lowered the disease severity (DS) (33.3-3.3%) and increased percent efficacy of disease control (PEDC) (54.9-95.4%) of bacterial pustule in soybean caused by X. axonopodis pv. glycine. Subsequently, significant enhancements of plant growth were also recorded in plants treated with thymol nanoemulsion. This is the first report of a thymol based nanoemulsion obtained using Quillaja saponin as a surfactant. Our study claims that nano scale thymol could be a potential antimicrobial and plant growth promoting agent for agriculture.

In this work, a theranostic nanocage system was developed for the targeted delivery of the anti-cancer agents camptothecin (CPT) and luotonin A (LuA). The core of the nanocage system (Fe3O4@OA-AD-SP NCs) was formed by biogenically synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) decorated with a model anti-cancer drug (AD) and biosurfactant saponin (SP). The Fe3O4@OA-AD-SP NCs showed a high lipophilic AD loading efficiency (>80%) and a controlled pH-responsive drug release in stimulated cancerous cells in pH 6.4 media buffer. In addition, Fe3O4@OA-AD-SP NCs exhibited better serum protein binding efficacy at physiological pH values (7.4), furthering the important role of SP surface decoration. Particularly, these NCs showed better chemotherapeutic efficacy when examined in MCF-7 and HeLa cancer cell lines with a specific targeting capacity. Therefore, this study provides a new nano platform based on magnetic targeting and pH responsive lipophilic anticancer drug delivery to the cancer site.

[PMID: 28778007 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.07.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2017] [Revised: 07/21/2017] [Accepted: 07/27/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
The potential of saponin, a biosurfactant, in the micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) process was tested systematically for removal of methyl violet from wastewater. For this, the aqueous extract of reetha (Sapindus mukorossi) pericarp which contains saponin was used as the biosurfactant. First, the micellar solubilization of methyl violet in saponin micelles was investigated in terms of molar solubilization power (SP) of saponin. It was observed that the adsorption of methyl violet on the agglomerates of saponin micelles was mainly responsible for the enhanced solubilization. The Gibbs free energy of solubilization (calculated as -29.63 kJ mol-1) suggested that process was feasible and spontaneous. The MEUF experiments were performed in batch as well as continuous mode using saponin biosurfactant, and the effect of operating parameters on permeate flux and solute retention were evaluated. The removal of methyl violet in MEUF process was >99% achieved with 10 kDa polyethersulfone (PES) membrane for feed dye concentration of 250 mg L-1 at studied conditions. Finally, the saponin in permeate was recovered using n-heptane and n-butanol by solvent extraction process. The solvent n-butanol showed better extraction efficiency as compared to n-heptane for saponin extraction.
