摘要
The factors affecting the demulsification and interfacial behavior of water-in-oil emulsions in the presence of oil-soluble demulsifiers were investigated. Using both model water-in-oil and water-in-crude oil emulsion systems with demulsifiers with different chemical structures, the effects of demulsifier partitioning on the interfacial and film rheological properties were studied. The experimental results were compared and related with the demulsifier performance. There is a one-to-one correlation between the performance of demulsifier and the interfacial activity of the partitioned demulsifier; the partitioned demulsifier components exhibit an increase in static and dynamic interfacial activity, low dynamic interfacial and film tension, and a low film dilational modulus with a high adsorption rate-low interfacial tension gradient (Marangoni-Gibbs stabilizing effect) and have excellent demulsification performance.
