Molecular Simulations on the Coalescence of Water-in-Oil Emulsion Droplets with Non-ionic Surfactant and Model Asphaltene

Water droplets in crude oil can be stabilized by the adsorption of interfacially active components, such as asphaltenes. Demulsifiers like non-ionic surfactants are commonly used to destabilize the water-in-oil emulsions. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations were...
