The adsorption of surfactants from aqueous solutions in porous media is essential in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from oil reservoirs. Surfactant loss that is due to adsorption by the reservoir rocks weakens the efficiency of the chemical slurry that is injected and decreases the oil-water interfacia...
