Investigation into mechanisms and kinetics of asphaltene aggregation in toluene/n-hexane mixtures

Abstract Determining the rate of asphaltene particle growth is one of the main problems in modeling of asphaltene precipitation and deposition. In this paper, the kinetics of asphaltene aggregation under different precipitant concentrations have been studied. The image processing method was performe...
