Simulation Investigation on the Influence Mechanism of Toluene and Heptane on the Aggregation of Asphaltene Molecules

Asphaltenes are a group of compounds that are soluble in benzene and toluene but insoluble in nonpolar small molecule n-alkanes. The asphaltene aggregation in the asphaltene-heptane-toluene system was studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and the interaction between asphaltene molecules...

520 |a Asphaltenes are a group of compounds that are soluble in benzene and toluene but insoluble in nonpolar small molecule n-alkanes. The asphaltene aggregation in the asphaltene-heptane-toluene system was studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and the interaction between asphaltene molecules during this process was also revealed from the evolution of the density field, radial distribution function (RDF), and intermolecular distance of asphaltenes. Three main findings were made: (1) more asphaltene precipitates (heptane) were contained, and more asphaltene dimers or trimers were formed during the MD simulation; (2) asphaltene molecules interacted with each other to form aggregates in the form of π-π or H-bond interaction. The stable distance of the π-π interaction was 3.3-3.5 Å, and the stable distance of the H-bond connection was 1.7-1.9 Å. (3) The asphaltene interaction in the heptane-rich system was dominated by π-π interaction between asphaltene molecules. However, the asphaltene interactions in the toluene-rich system were mainly the π-π interaction between asphaltene molecules and toluene and the H-bond interaction between the side chains of asphaltene molecules. The results of this study can aid in understanding how asphaltene molecules aggregate and self-associate and can also offer theoretical support for flow assurance in systems used to produce crude oil
