Effects of temperature and salinity on adsorption in alkaline-surfactant flooding

Alkaline-Surfactant flooding is one of the chemical flooding methods which are used to recover residual oil left after water flooding. By using a combination of alkaline and surfactant in the chemical formula, the interfacial tension (IFT) of oil/water is significantly reduced. However, surfactant a...
