The production of oil in water emulsions (O/W-EMUL) is prevalent the petroleum sector due to presence several stabilizers; however, O/W-EMUL an unwanted phenomenon. Given that, this study evaluates efficiency three ionic liquids (ILs), two halogenide ILs (HILs-1, HILs-2), and one non-halogenide IL (Non-HIL) as demulsifiers for recovery from at a concentration 500 mg/L. percentage demulsificatio...

Emulsified water is generally present in crude oil as a result of mixing occurring during production operations. The formation of emulsion leads to problems in production and also transportation. Therefore the need to break oil/water emulsions system through demulsification process using chemical surfactants for improved oil recovery operations. Selected cationic surfactants were effective in s...

Hereby we report a novel cellulose nanofirbril aerogel-based W/O/W microreactor system that can be used for fast and high efficient molecule or ions extraction and separation. The ultra-light cellulose nanofibril based aerogel microspheres with high porous structure and water storage capacity were prepared. The aerogel microspheres that were saturated with stripping solution were dispersed in a...
