Stabilizing Effects of Black Rice Husk Ash Nano Particles on Foam Bubbles and Foam Evaluation

Abstract

Because nanoparticles can increase foam stability, only a small amount of surfactant or polymer is required to control gas mobility in the reservoir. It was decided to look into the foam stability and foam ability of black rice husk ash in order to improve foam production and stability. Shows how important the high silica content of black rice husk ash (BRHA) is for stability and foam ability. Under varied circumstances, black rice husk ash, SDBS (Sodium Dodecylbenzensulfonate), and (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) surfactants were used. Making a dispersion of black rice husk ash with SDBS surfactant. To begin, distilled water was mixed with a specific quantity of black rice husk ash nanoparticles, and the mixture was then uniformly dispersed for 10 min using an ultrasonic dispersive spectrometer. The SiO2 dispersion was then mixed with a specific quantity of SDBS surfactant Foaming agent for 10 min. In order to achieve the surfactant SDBS's equilibrium of adsorption on the surface of the black rice husk ash nanoparticles the behavior of the foam made from black rice husk ash. Black rice husk ash's high silica concentration has the potential to increase foam stability, which is favorable for bubble uphold position for nanoparticles in oil recovery.
