Determination of charge on asphaltene nanoaggregates in air using electrostatic force microscopy

In this paper, we provide measurement of charge of asphaltene nanoaggregates in air using electrostatic force microscopy. We obtain the average surface charge density of the nanoaggregates as 43.7 nC/cm(2). Among the different aspects of asphaltene, one of the least known is its charge and the effec...

520 |a In this paper, we provide measurement of charge of asphaltene nanoaggregates in air using electrostatic force microscopy. We obtain the average surface charge density of the nanoaggregates as 43.7 nC/cm(2). Among the different aspects of asphaltene, one of the least known is its charge and the effect of solvent and compositional variability (of asphaltene) in dictating this charge. For aqueous systems, asphaltene charge demonstrates a strong dependence on the pH and the salt concentration, indicating that a possible ionization of the surface groups leads to this charging. On the contrary, for asphaltene in nonpolar media (e.g., toluene and heptane), it is believed that asphaltene native charge is central in dictating this charging. This native charge is the solvent-independent charge or the asphaltene charge in air. Our measurements, therefore, provide the first direct quantification (i.e., a quantification of charge not from the measurement of the asphaltene mobilities, which in turn requires specification of the nonuniform asphaltene size distribution) of this asphaltene native charge by conducting the measurements in air. Similar measurements in a solvent may introduce a solvent-dependent value, thereby forbidding not only the exact quantification of this native charge but also the understanding of the specific role of the solvent. This measurement, therefore, will provide a useful starting point to quantify the mechanism of asphaltene charging in nonpolar solvents with important ramifications in deciphering the role of asphaltene in transport and handling of crude and heavy oils
