Atomistic insight into salinity dependent preferential binding of polar aromatics to calcite/brine interface: implications to low salinity waterflooding
Abstract This paper resolve the salinity-dependent interactions of polar components of crude oil at calcite-brine interface in atomic resolution. Molecular dynamics simulations carried out on the present study showed that ordered water monolayers develop immediate to a calcite substrate in contact w...
