摘要
It is well-known that the amphiphilic solutes are surface-active and can accumulate at the oil-water interface. Here, we have investigated the water and a light-oil model interface by using molecular dynamic simulations. It was found that aromatics concentrated in the interfacial region, whereas the other hydrocarbons were uniformly distributed throughout the oil phase. Similar to previous studies, such concentrations were not observed at pure aromatics-water interfaces. We show that the self-accumulation of aromatics at the oil-water interface is driven by differences in the interfacial tension, which is lower for aromatics-water than between the others. The weak hydrogen bonding between the aromatic rings and the water protons provides the mechanism for lowering the interfacial tension.
