separation results. Compared with other samples, emulsion sample adding PR5
can get more separated oil and water and has the best separation. PR₅ is selected
as the optimal demulsifier.

3.6.2. Emulsion characterized by CPMG T₂ distribution measurement

Figure 3.10 shows T₂ distribution of layered water/ diluted bitumen (sample 3,
dilution ratio 2.4, solids-free) mixture and water in diluted bitumen emulsion. The
red curve is T₂ distribution of layered water/ diluted bitumen mixture, the blue one
is that of water in diluted bitumen emulsion. For both curves, oil and water have
different T₂ distribution peaks, which are distinguishable. T₂ values of oil peak in
emulsion are smaller than those of bulk oil. This indicates surface relaxation
effects on the continuous oil phase. T₂ values of water drops in emulsion are
smaller than those of bulk water. The difference between the two peaks can be
used to calculate drop size distribution according to Eq. 3.6, if surface relaxivity p
is known. Combined with NMR restricted diffusion measurement, drop size
