In this work researches on division of water oil emulsions and oil-containing waste by a coalescention method on granular polymers from a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with sizes of particles of grains from 0,5 mm to 3 mm are conducted. Dynamic filtration of an emulsion was carried out through grains of polymer filled in a column with a diameter of 10 mm, the mass of grains of polymer was 2 g, and height of filling of a column of 10-12 cm. Speed of filtration of these emulsions through a column depends on the size of grains of a polytetrafluoroethylene. So with increase in the size of particles the speed of filtration increases, but the efficiency of removal of oil products decreases. Extent of cleaning of a water oil emulsion of oil products with initial concentration of 828 mg/dm3 made 62% at filtration through polymer with sizes of grains <0,5 mm and 51% at filtration of an emulsion through polymer grains with a size more than 3 mm. The efficiency of removal of free oil products was more than 90% of waste water. On the surface of grains of polymers the coalescention and aggregation of a particle of oil products is observed. Coalescention of oil products on grains of polymer is effective at removal from the unstable and stratified emulsions.

The problems of applying new method of coalescence of emulsified oil products on the surface of hydrophobic filtering materials during purification of oil-containing waste water are discussed. The results of some theoretical and experimental research are listed. During the research granulated polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene) and hydrophobic quartz sand were used as filtering materials. The research reveals the fundamental processes which are occurring. The main principles of technological computation as well as those of designing installations and separate elements of installations are worked out. The paper shows that it is possible to achieve rather a high efficiency of separating water/oil emulsions if filtering materials and technological parameters are selected properly. The paper is based on the results of recent research carried out under the guidance of the author at the Novopolotsk Polytechnic Institute.

Oil emulsions are formed in the course of oil production, transportation, storage and a wash of oil tanks. Some oil emulsions are highly dispersed and rather stable for division by methods of upholding, centrifugation and flotation. In work for effective division of an oil model emulsion the method of a contact coalescention received the filtering loadings from a granular and porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Speed of filtration of a model oil emulsion through the filtering loading depending on the size of granules of PTFE is determined. Extent of division of an emulsion at filtration through loading with a size of granules of 0,5 mm of high, 89% for porous and 74,4% for granular PTFE, but with increase in the size of granules of the filtering loading extent of division of an emulsion decreases. The initial model emulsion is polydisperse system with sizes of particles of 567 - 3315 nanometers. After filtration through PTFE granules the size of particles of a disperse phase decreases, particles of oil coalesce and are late in a time, in a surface and space between granules. It is confirmed by formation of oil slicks on the surface of the filtering loading. And the size of granules of the filtering loading is less; the size of particles in an emulsion filtrate is less. By results of a research influence of particle size distribution of the filtering loading on the size of particles of a disperse phase of a filtrate of an emulsion is defined.

Some results of experimental and numerical studies of the influence of radio-frequency (RF) and microwave (MW) electromagnetic (EM) fields on water-in-oil emulsions are presented. A detailed investigation of the dependence of the dielectric properties of emulsions on the frequency of the field makes it possible to establish the most effective frequency range of the EM influence. The results of water-in-oil emulsion stability in the RF EM field depending on their dielectric properties are presented. The effect of the MW EM field on the emulsion in a dynamic mode has been studied experimentally. In an attempt to understand the mechanism of emulsion destruction the mathematical model for a single emulsion droplet dynamics in radio-frequency (RF) and microwave (MW) electromagnetic fields is formulated.

: In this study, the Sany-glass test was used to evaluate the performance of a new surfactant prepared from corn oil as a demulsifier for crude oil emulsions. Central composite design (CCD), based on the response surface methodology (RSM), was used to investigate the effect of four variables, including demulsifier dosage, water content, temperature, and pH, on the efficiency of water removal from the emulsion. As well, analysis of variance was applied to examine the precision of the CCD mathematical model. The results indicate that demulsifier dose and emulsion pH are two significant parameters determining demulsification. The maximum separation efficiency of 96% was attained at an alkaline pH and with 3500 ppm demulsifier. According to the RSM analysis, the optimal values for the input variables are 40% water content, 3500 ppm demulsifier, 60 °C, and pH 8.

An experimental investigation is presented of the influences of emulsification of marine fuel oils A and C with water on the micro-explosion phenomenon and combustion characteristics of a burning droplet. The amount of surfactant and water-to-oil ratio by volume in the emulsion are varied to observe the variations of ignition delay, flame length, time required to attain the maximum flame length, duration as well as intensity of micro-explosion, flame appearance, and overall burning time. The measurements show that the emulsification effects on the combustion of marine fuel oils A and C are different. A droplet of C-oil emulsion is shown to be influenced by the addition of water and surfactant more significantly. The micro-explosion phenomena of droplets of A-and C-oil emulsions are seen to occur after and before their ignition, respectively. In addition, separate combinations of water and surfactant content exist for these fuel oils to achieve better emulsification effects on combustion. Droplets of emulsions with W/O = 15/85, E% = 2% for fuel oil A and W/O = 25/75, E% = 1% for fuel oil C are found to have the most violent droplet-disruption phenomenon and the longest flame length.

AbstractEmulsion is an efficient encapsulation tool for enhancing the functional properties of essential oils (EOs). Herein, two two-dimensional cinnamon essential oil emulsions (from micro- to nanoscales) were emulsified by hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and their antimicrobial and physicochemical properties were investigated. For the models of Escherichia coli CGMCC 1.0907, Salmonella enterica subsp. Enterica serovar Typhi (CICC 10867), Staphylococcus aureus CGMCC 1.0089, and Listeria monocytogene CGMCC 1.9144, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the nanoemulsion was 31.25 μL/mL compared to that of the microemulsion (62.5–125 μL/mL) and pure oil (125–250 μL/mL), indicating the superiority of nanoemulsion as an antibacterial agent. The results showed that the highest activity was seen in the gram-positive L. monocytogenes whereas the lowest was in the gram-negative S. enterica. The identified properties of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) provide the potential for emulsifying and enhancing essential oils in light industries, especially for food processing.

Abstract In well stimulation treatments using hydrochloric acid, undesirable water-in-oil emulsion and acid sludge may produce and then cause operational problems in oil field development. The processes intensify in the presence of Fe(III), which are from the corroded surfaces of field equipment and/or iron-bearing minerals of the oil reservoir. In order to understand the reasons of the stability of acid emulsions, acid emulsions were prepared by mixing crude oil emulsion with 15% hydrochloric acid solutions with and without Fe(III) and then separated into free and upper (water free) and intermediate (with water) layers. It is assumed that the oil phase of the free and upper layers contains the compounds which do not participate in the formation of acid emulsions, and the oil phase of the intermediate layers contains components involved in the formation of oil/acid interface. The composition of the oil phase of each layer of the emulsions was studied. It is found that the asphaltenes with a high content of sulfur, oxygen and metals as well the flocculated material of protonated non-polar oil components are concentrated at the oil/acid interface. In addition to the above, in the presence of Fe(III) the Fe(III)-based complexes with polar groups of asphaltenes are formed at the acid/oil interface, contributing to the formation of armor films which enhance the emulsion stability.

The study of oil pollution is crucial nowadays and considered as one of the critical issues as oil pollution gives bad effects especially to wastewater treatment facilities. For that purpose, this study investigated the potential of activated carbon from biochars of textile sludge precursors for oil removal. The activated carbons were produced from biochar obtained through the pyrolysis of textile sludge waste by chemical activation with 1M of phosphoric acid which denoted as AC-B-H3PO4. Apart from that, the performance of adsorptive properties of the activated carbon was tested using simulated cooking oil waste water in homogeneous form as the targeted adsorbate. The effect of adsorption contact time and initial concentration of simulated oil wastewater towards performances of AC-B-H3PO4 in removal of simulated oil wastewater were studied and compared with biochars700. The equilibrium time in adsorption of the simulated oil wastewater for both biochar700 and AC-B-H3PO4 was obtained in 30min. Meanwhile, the effects of initial concentration of simulated oil wastewater, biochars700 has earlier achieved equilibrium at 300mg/l up to 500 mg/l, while for AC-B-H3PO4, the adsorption capacity still increase at a high initial concentration of simulated oil waste water but in a slow rate. The results obtained showed that AC-B-H3PO4 has more potential for oil spills treatment than biochars due to its ability to treat the high initial concentration of simulated oil wastewater at the equilibrium time. The findings also provide for an alternative for low cost and effective adsorbent for the oil pollution treatment.

An original method of wave sample preparation of commercial stable gel-containing water-oil emulsions is developed to separate water and oil phases present in the composition for their subsequent analysis. Real samples of commercial stable water-oil emulsions, differing in composition (water content, «gel», iron sulphide and mechanical impurities) are studied. The effect of the intensity and duration of the wave action of different nature on the completeness of phase separation in the real samples of commercial emulsions of different composition are studied. A possibility in principal of isolating oil and water phases from the composition of stable water-oil emulsions stabilized by gel-like associates under wave action (magnetostatic and electromagnetic field, ultrasonic vibrations) is shown. When the water-oil emulsion is exposed to a permanent magnetic field with an induction range of 0.1 – 0.57 T for 1 – 3 minutes, the degree of water isolation from the emulsion samples under study varies from 48 % to 71 %, depending on the composition of the emulsion under study. Similar results are obtained under the effect of electromagnetic field with an induction of 0.1 – 1.0 T. For complete separation of water and oil phases from gel-containing water-oil emulsions, we proposed to use ultrasonic treatment combined with addition of a suspension prepared from aluminum oxide nanopowder in acetonitrile which provide complete destruction of «gel» and 100 % separation of water and oil phases.
