Oil removal from emulsion
« on: July 29, 2024, 09:35:44 PM »
If I have an emulsion of water and oil, in a large quantity, what would be the best way to remove it? Also, I've been seeing salts being used to help separate out this oil from its emulsion, can I know the mechanism of this process?

Sometimes it helps to filter the emulsion through a pad of Celite

I second Rolnor's suggestion.  Some emulsions also break over time.
