As-Synthesized Oleic Amido Propyl Betaine Surfactant Mixture and the Effect on the Crude Oil–Seawater Interfacial Tension

As-synthesized oleic amido propyl betaine surfactant mixture was developed through a slight modification of a conventional two-step betaine synthesis process of amidation and quaternization reactions. This method is a “direct formulating through synthesis” to achieve a targeted interfacial property...
