An experimental study of asphaltene particle sizes in n-heptane-toluene mixtures by light scattering

The particle size of asphaltene flocculates has been the subject of many recent studies because of its importance in the control of deposition in petroleum production and processing. We measured the size of asphaltene flocculates in toluene and toluene - n-heptane mixtures, using the light-scatterin...
