Carrier oils structure/properties

V.7. PVT modelling was performed using the internal PVT simulator of PetroMod as well as PVTsim V.12 for control purposes. The source rock to which the kinetic model was applied was located in the lower left margin of the model. The small structural closures in the model (Fig. 5) trapped only minor amounts of the migrating fluid phase, such that the composition within each reservoir was representative of a composition dominated by the instantaneous phase of the generated fluid. The composition of the fluid in the lowermost reservoir was characteristic for the current source rock maturity at any time step. The entire 2D section was modelled to reflect deposition in a very short time span. Carrier and reservoir properties were constant and relative permeability of hydrocarbon gas and oil phases irrelevant as the... 

Besides emulsifying properties, another useful characteristic of solid fats are their malleable melting points profiles. Fat crystals have the structure-forming properties that allow the formation of a matrix for suspension of dmg particles. When used simply as carriers, some lipids can provide a matrix that can keep the bioactive components uniformly distributed and released in a timely manner. The properties of the crystals such as melting time can be manipulated by blending solid fats with different ratios of liquid oils (50). 

Catalyst life might be extended by the development of low-ash lubricating oils and by modifying carrier properties such as surface chemistry, pore structure, and surface area, to create contamination-resistant catalysts. 

For some authors, it is the result of the clustering of water droplets (which can maintain their closed shell structure) and of the hopping of the charge carriers across the surfactant layers for others, the formation of open structures (water channels) leads to a bicontinuous organization of water and oil. In all likelihood there is no unique answer, but one should rather expect different possible explanations depending on the characteristics and specific properties of the system under consideration. 

Both Stone and Hetter evaluated the role of the different components in the various phenol solutions and they both came to the conclusion that the croton oil concentration was the most important factor in predicting the depth of skin injury (Table ti.2). Croton oil is a very strong desiccant with cytotoxic properties even in minute concentrations. Croton oil is not water-soluble but is soluble in alcohol, benzene, ethyl acetate, and chloroform. Thus it is believed that phenol, which has a benzene ring in its structure, acts as a carrier for the croton oil.
