摘要

针对微乳液在驱油过程中相态调控机制不明确的问题,基于分子动力学原理,运用Materials Studio软件构建了C8H18-SDBS/C4H10O-NaCl溶液的分子结构模型,系统开展了微乳液润湿作用机理与界面行为的模拟研究。通过分子动力学方法筛选出异丁醇(C4H10O)与十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)相容性最佳、体系总能量最低的配比,进而分析其吸附构型、空间分布、相互作用能及径向分布函数。研究表明:C8H18-SDBS/C4H10O-NaCl体系最低结合能为-68.21 kcal/mol,对应组分为8.0%C4H10O+0.5%NaCl+4.0%SDBS,此时体系最为稳定;NaCl对体系稳定性影响不显著。在润湿行为方面,C4H10O质量分数的变化会引起相态转变,当其质量分数为6.0%~7.5%时氧原子主要与SDBS亲水基作用,体系呈亲水性;当质量分数为8.0%时,氧原子与亲水/疏水基作用相当,体系呈中性;当质量分数为8.5%时,氧原子更倾向与疏水基作用,体系呈亲油性;8.0%C4H10O体系所形成的微乳液在降低界面张力与调控润湿性方面效果最佳,可提升微观驱油效率并扩大宏观波及体积,提高采收率31.3个百分点,含水率降低20.2个百分点。该研究对优化驱油用微乳液配方、提升原油采收率具有重要指导意义。

Abstract

In response to the insufficient understanding of phase behavior regulation-control mechanisms of microemulsions in oil displacement processes,a molecular structure model of an C8H18-SDBS/C4H10O-NaCl solution was constructed using Materials Studio based on molecular dynamics principles.Systematic simulations were conducted to investigate the wetting mechanism and interfacial behavior of microemulsions.Through molecular dynamics,iso-butanol(C4H10O)and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) ratios were screened to find the optimal compatibility and lowest total energy of the system.The adsorption configuration,spatial distribution,interaction energy,and radial distribution function were then analyzed.The results show that the minimum binding energy of the system C8H18-SDBS/C4H10O-NaCl is -68.21 kcal/mol,corresponding to a composition of 8.0%C4H10O+0.5%NaCl+4.0%SDBS,at which the system is the most stable;NaCl has an insignificant effect on system stability.In terms of wetting behavior,changes in iso-butanol(C4H10O)concentration induce phase transitions.At 6.0%~7.5% iso-butanol(C4H10O),oxygen atoms primarily interact with the hydrophilic head of SDBS,rendering the system water-wet;at 8.0%,oxygen interacts equally with hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups,making the system neutral;at 8.5%,oxygen preferentially associates with hydrophobic groups,rendering the system oil-wet.The microemulsion formed with 8.0% iso-butanol(C4H10O)yields the best results in reducing interfacial tension and modulating wettability:it can improve microscopic oil displacement efficiency,expand macroscopic sweep volume,increase the recovery efficiency by 31.3 percentage points,and reduce water cut by 20.2 percentage points.This study provides important guidance for optimizing microemulsion formulations for oil displacement and enhancing oil recovery.
