Summary: | The article describes a technique for obtaining a quantitative assessment of the composition and structure of the petroleum dispersed system (PDS) and its individual structural formations based on the data of the component composition and infrared spectroscopy. In the PDS of heavy petroleum feedstock modified with a mixture of unsaturated carboxylic acids and four atomic alcohols, the components of the core and the inner solvation shell are different in structure. The degree of affinity of the components of the inner and outer solvation shells of the complex structural unit (CSU), as well as that of the outer solvation shell and the hydrocarbon components of the dispersion medium, increases. Nonionic additives are involved, to a greater degree, in structuring the solvation shell of the CSU and also increase the degree of its affinity with the hydrocarbon components, which leads to an increase in the dispersion of the system and a decrease in its mobility.
