A comprehensive review on the recent advances on the petroleum asphaltene aggregation
Asphaltene finds a distinguished position in current research on liquid and solid hydrocarbon fuels due to its self-aggregating nature. The presence of asphaltene in crude oil will reduce the quality of crude oil itself by increasing the operating cost due to the arterial blockage in extraction, tra...

Asphaltene finds a distinguished position in current research on liquid and solid hydrocarbon fuels due to its self-aggregating nature.

To date, the self-association of asphaltene has been widely explored around the world, even at the molecular level. Quite a few studies have led to the development of model compounds that resemble their chemical and colloidal characteristics.
