      Tapio, Lene Katrin; Subramanian, Sreedhar; Simon, Sebastien Charles; Sjøblom, Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The main goal of this paper is to compare the ability of different organic solvents to desorb asphaltenes from stainless steel surfaces. The asphaltenes were extracted from a North Sea crude oil by precipitation. The organic ...
    • Study of Desorption of Asphaltene from Solid Surface by Use of Solvents and Chemicals 

      Tapio, Lene Katrin (Master thesis, 2015)
      A study of adsorption and desorption of asphaltene on a stainless steel surface was preformed. A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was used for the the study. Different solvents were tested for their ability to desorb ...
