Abstract
Physico-chemical properties such as density, solubility parameter, viscosity, volume change on mixing and surface tension for pure deep eutectic solvent (DES), heavy crude oil (saturate, aromatic, resin and asphaltene i.e. SARA) and DES-SARA mixtures are estimated. The models are established considering the variation of SARA from three geographic locations and five DESs from hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature. Further, variation in temperature and concentration of DESs or SARA are explicitly considered. The structural variations are incorporated by estimating the critical properties in Lydersen–Joback–Reid framework using group contribution methodology. Cohesion based equation of state is used to estimate the density of SARA and DES. Geometric similitude concept in conjunction with cubic equation of state is used to estimate the surface tension and viscosity of DES and SARA. Later six different formulations namely, Arrhenius, Power law model, Lobe, Cragoe, Double-log, and Lederer model are employed to calculate the mixture viscosity of DES-SARA system.
