Oil–water emulsions are widely generated in industries, which may facilitate some processes (e.g., transportation of heavy oil, storage milk, synthesis chemicals or materials, etc.) lead to serious upgrading environmental issues pipeline plugging, corrosions equipment, water pollution, soil etc.). Herein, the sources, classification, formation, stabilization, and separation oil–water systematic...

Producing high-efficient, low-cost, and green water-based adhesives with enhanced bonding performance still remains highly challenging. In this study, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) adhesive films long-term stability are in situ fabricated on a metal substrate by facile high-efficiency preparation method known as demulsification-induced fast solidification (DIFS). The strength of was constructin...

Emulsification is one of the important processes in chemical flooding to mobilize residual oil wells following secondary recovery. Oil displacement efficiency enhanced and volumetric sweep increased by engineering interactions supporting chemicals used with geological formations present wells. Polymers surfactants are often applied recovery (EOR) as emulsification displacement. However, polymer...
