Challenges in developing polymer flocculants to improve bitumen quality in non-aqueous extraction processes: an experimental study
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel area of application of polymer flocculants for fine solids removal from diluted bitumen product (DBP) is proposed, where several polymers are selected and screened for flocculation behavior using kaolinite suspended in DBP and toluene, as a model system.

Molecular Interactions between a Biodegradable Demulsifier and Asphaltenes in an Organic Solvent
Anand Natarajan,Natalie P. Kuznicki,David Harbottle,David Harbottle,Jacob H. Masliyah,Hongbo Zeng,Zhenghe Xu +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a surface forces apparatus (SFA) was used to measure the intermolecular forces between a biodegradable demulsifier (ethyl cellulose, EC) and asphaltenes immobilized individually on molecularly smooth mica surfaces in an organic solvent.
Integrated Nanoextraction and Colorimetric Reactions in Surface Nanodroplets for Combinative Analysis.
TL;DR: Droplet-based combinative analysis can be applied for anti-counterfeiting of various alcoholic spirits by comparing decolor time of organic acid mixtures in the spirits by using surface nanodroplets for integrating nanoextraction and colorimetric reactions for identification of multicomponent mixtures.
