Emulsions frequently encountered in petroleum production, include water-in-oil (W/O)
emulsions, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, and water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions, which …

The processing of crude oil often requires the extraction of a large amount of water.
Frequently, crude oil is mixed with water to form water-in-crude oil emulsions as the result of …

Unconventional petroleum ores have been considered to be an important part of petroleum
resources and an important alternative source of chemicals and energy supply. Extremely …

Mechanical oil recovery (ie, booming and skimming) is the most common tool for oil spill
response. The recovered fluid generated from skimming processes may contain a …

The formation of stable emulsions is a fundamental problem in oil industry that can result in
a sequence of environmental and operational problems. Chemical demulsification is …

Stable emulsions are frequently encountered in oil production and cause a series of
environmental and operational issues. Chemical demulsification is widely used for the …

The economic development, utilization of petroleum and industrial production have
produced a large quantity of emulsified oily wastewater, which will pose a serious threat to …

A novel aliphatic alcohol nonionic polyether (MJTJU-2) has been successfully synthesized
by esterification and polymerization. It is found that this new polyether is efficient in fast …

The quest for effective demulsification materials is growing rapidly in the recent times.
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are an attractive alternative of commercial demulsifiers …

Removing emulsified water from a water-in-crude oil (W/O) emulsion is critically required
prior to downstream processing in the petroleum industry. In this work, environmentally …
