Spring 2019
Among all the competing methods to enhance the phase separation of water-in-oil emulsions in chemical industries, electric field is considered as one of the best treatment options. To better understand the mechanism by which electric field assists water droplets coalescence and the corresponding...

Interfacially Active Magnetic Nanoparticles for Efficient Oil/Water Separation from Oil-in-Water or Water-in-Oil Emulsions
DownloadSpring 2020
The emulsions, either oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, are inevitably formed during the industrial production processes and the daily household activities. The O/W emulsions such as crude oil-in-water emulsions or oily wastewaters generated from the industrial fields, oil...

CO2-Responsive Surfactants for Enhancing Heavy Oil Recovery: from Fundamentals to Bench-Scale Demonstrations in Canadian Oil Sands Extraction
DownloadSpring 2020
Interfacial properties at the oil-water interface are of key importance to various operations in the petroleum industry, especially in the aqueous-based heavy oil recovery process. However, different operation stages often require different interfacial properties, which could be conflicted with...

Study of Thin Liquid Film Drainage and Interaction Forces in Organic Solvent for Liquid/Solid and Liquid/Liquid Interactions Using Dynamic Force Apparatus (DFA)
DownloadFall 2021
Properties of thin liquid films between two approaching droplets or between a droplet and a solid surface are critical for emulsion stability and for mineral flotation. If the thin liquid film is stable, no coalescence occurs, while an unstable film will lead to rupture and coalescence or the...
