Synthesis and Characterization of Triethanolamine Derivative of Sodium Dodecy l Sulphate and its Use in Enhanced Oil RecoveryBy Ajay Mandal, Abhijit Samanta, Keka Ojha, Ashis Sarkar
Abstract: The paper deals with the synthesis and characterization of a new surfactant and its use in Alkali-Surfactant- Polymer (ASP) flooding in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The material has been synthesized from sodium dodecyl sulphate and triethanolamine. The synthesized surfactant has been characterized by measuring the surface tension of its aqueous solution and it has been found that the surface tension of derivative surfactant is much lower than that of pure …

Extraction and Characterization of an Eco-Friendly Surfactant for Its Use in Enhanced Oil RecoveryBy Ajay Mandal, Abhijit Samanta, Keka Ojha, Ashis Sarkar
Abstract: Experimental studies have been performed to explore the suitability of an eco-friendly surfactant in enhanced oil recovery. In this respect, herbal surfactant has been isolated from soap nut and characterized by its morphology and physico-chemical properties. The extracted surfactant reduces the interfacial tension significantly over a wide range of concentrations. A series of flooding experiments have been carried out using the extracted surfactant and substantial incremental recoveries have been observed …
