Here the demulsifiers are polyoxyethylene (EO)/ polyoxypropylene (PO)
alkylphenolformaldehyde resins (referred to as PR×) provided by Nalco Chemical
CO., with molecular weights around 3,500 Da and varying amounts of EO∕PO
groups in their structure (Table 3.2)[5] at constant EO/ PO ratio (3:1), which are
used as coalescers for the emulsion. The Solventforthe demulsifier is xylene. The
demulsifier solution contains 10 w.% PRx.

3.5.2. Emulsion Preparation
Prior to emulsion preparation, different additives were added to aqueous
phase. In the emulsion preparation, 60 ml emulsion (oil∕water ratio 1.0, v∕v)
sample was prepared by mixing 30 ml 1.0 w.% NaCI brine and 30 ml diluted
