Electric fields are commonly used to enhance the coalescence of water drops in oils.
However, this process could cause some undesirable phenomena such as secondary …

The coalescence of droplets in oil can be implemented rapidly by high‐voltage pulse electric
field, which is an effective demulsification dehydration technological method. At present, it is …

Electric coalescence is an effective way to achieve high performance of separating small
dispersed water droplets from oils. We investigated the coalescence and break-up …

Electrical dehydrators are often used to separate water from oil emulsions. However, the
frequency and electric field strength are fixed during separation and cannot change with the …

Electrical dispersion of a water-in-oil emulsion under an electric field has an inhibitory effect
on the eletrocoalescence. To clarify the mechanism of droplet breakup at the microscopic …

Abstract Oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) emulsions commonly exist in crude oil treatment, food
processing, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics; however, few related studies have been …

This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting
coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of …

In the face of depleting conventional oil and natural gas reserves, the exploitation of shale
oil resources increasingly important. However, the high stability of shale oil emulsions …

In the presence of electric field induced by either constant or pulsed direct current (DC), a
critical electric strength (E c) exists for the transition from full coalescence to partial …

The pulsed electric field with constant frequency has difficulty exerting the maximum
demulsification potentiality, because dynamic changes in droplet size during the electric …
