摘要: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to investigate eight different Mexican crude oils in the form of deposited films on metal substrate. Most had reported asphaltene deposition problems during production. Two other techniques related hydrodynamic size determination were applied:  light scattering and HPLC-SEC. According observed AFM surface morphology characteristics oil classified grouped into distinct groups. Some dense population 40−200 nm particles, while others larger discoid features smaller particles. Light analysis indicates particles be organic as they disappear upon dilution with toluene. Correlation between film physicochemical properties did not reveal a simple relationship. Indeed, similar bulk fluid show films. With respect instability well-deposition problem, it was found that five investigated (un...
