Abstract
The adsorption of newly synthesized surfactant on Berea core is reported here. The static adsorption surfactant named UTP surfactant was found 0.91 mg/g. The adsorption of the surfactant followed a typical four-region adsorption isotherm. The critical micelle concentration of surfactant was found 2,075 ppm, and the point of zero charge (PZC) of Berea sandstone determined by potentiometric mass titration method (PMT) was at pH 8. The comparison of the adsorption of surfactant with commercial alpha olefin sulfonate (AOS) surfactant was also studied and reported. The newly developed surfactant performed better than AOS. The adsorption behaviors of both surfactants are explained by considering the factors such as the difference in structure, chain length, purity, and critical micelle concentration (CMC).
