利用Turbiscan LabExpert稳定性分析仪研究了化学破乳过程,揭示了破乳过程中模型乳状液体系的絮集、聚并、沉淀、上浮、分相等现象,并定量分析了上述现象发生的速率以及分散相液滴的粒径变化等。结果表明:W/O型模型乳状液的中部发生的是水滴的絮集和聚并,而O/W型模型乳状液的中部保持稳定。W/O型模型乳状液顶部和O/W型模型乳状液底部分别发生的是油相的上浮和水相的下沉,其它部分相对稳定。随着破乳的进行,W/O型模型乳状液中部的内部水滴平均粒径从29.07μm(0h)逐渐增大到73.17μm(1.8h),而O/W型模型乳状液中部的内部油滴平均粒径从12.95μm(0h)逐渐增大到14.03μm(1.6h)。
Chemical demulsification process was studied by using Turbiscan Lab? Expert stability analyzer,which revealed the phenomena of flocculation,coagulation,sedimentation,creaming and phase separation during the demulsification process.Simultaneously the rate of the above-mentioned phenomena and the droplet size changes were quantitatively analyzed.Results showed that flocculation and coagulation of water droplets occured in the middle of the W/O model emulsion,while kept stable in the middle of the O/W model emulsion.Moreover,creaming and sedimentation were observed in the top of the W/O model emulsion and in the bottom of the O/W model emulsion while other parts kept stable.As the demulsification process proceeds,the mean water droplet diameter in the middle of W/O emulsion increased from 29.07 μm(0 h)to 73.17 μm(1.8 h),while the mean oil droplet diameter in the middle of O/W emulsion increased from 12.95 μm(0 h)to 14.03μm(1.6 h).
