Molecular simulation of the wetting of selected solvents on sand and clay surfaces
Molecular dynamics simulation and density functional theory were applied to calculate heats of immersion (Himm) of n-heptane, toluene, pyridine and water on two model sand surfaces and two model clay surfaces. Our results indicated that water showed the highest Himm for the model clay surfaces when...
