Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNP) were used to trap reservoir fines and adsorption capacity of MSNP was optimized. Box-Behnken design was used to model effect of concentration, time, salinity and pH on adsorption capacity of reservoir fines. Multiple response surface method was applied to optim...
