Abstract

Effectiveness of the microparticle retention systems in improving dramage, retention, formation has been recognized for many years (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). In this study the effectiveness of crosslinked cationic corn starches and silica-based microgels as components of Compozil system has been evaluated. It was shown that improvements in retention and strength could be achieved by employing crosslinked cationic corn starches especially at high conductivity. Silica-based microgels with better performance in retention and dramage than a commercial colloidal silica sol have been made through a reaction of sulfuric acid and sodium silicate solutions.
