Any latest development in the world of asphaltene inhibitor and asphaltene in general?

Hi Humberto,

just to get this correct- do you want to focus primarily on the recovery of the metals? If yes you may be better of using iso-octane or similar medium mol. weight aliphatics as you will separate a lot of lower molecular weight colloids with the supercritical CO2. Also if you go with supercritical CO2 as opposed to liquid CO2 you will partially break down asphaltene agglomerates changing their properties.
