Saline water necessarily contained in crude oil forms complex and stable water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions with oil. Due to the negative impact of this emulsion on oil’s transportation refining, special materials are added help break separate water. Herein, a comparative study demulsifying ability concerning w/o original freshly milled quartz (FMQ) particles isolated from river sand was carried out....

In order to explore the efficient investigate and utilization of emulsion produced by enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction walnut oil, effects different enzyme treatment (including Alcalase 2.4L, Ban 480L α-amylase, Neutrase 0.8L, Pectinex SP-L, Celluclast 1.5L) on characteristics were studied characterize its emulsifying The composition, particle size distribution, Zeta potential, rheological pr...

In the present article we analyze the influence of various factors, both thermodynamic and hydrodynamic, on the stability of emulsion systems. The effect of the droplet size on the droplet life-time in an emulsion cream is quantified. The comparative importance of kinetic factors such as surface and bulk diffusion fluxes, or viscous and elastic surface stresses, is investigated. The fact that t...

Efficient extraction of crude oil, the major energy resource current concern and high demand worldwide, is paramount importance in both environmental fields. However, it remains a great challenge to separate oil-in-water emulsions with an ultralow oil content <200ppm. Here, three-dimensional superwetting channels are developed by coating titanium foams anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays. The render su...

Cost-effective and efficient sorbents with emulsion-breaking capability, especially surfactant-stabilized emulsions, are required to remediate oil spills from water. Herein, in situ growth of magnetic Mn0.01Co0.90Fe3O4 (MCFO) nanoparticles (NPs) on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was performed prepare MCFO/RGO nanocomposite via a simple solvothermal method. The coated onto polyurethane (PU) sponge...
