Demulsification performance and mechanism of oil droplets by electrocoagulation: Role of surfactant

Liang Wang et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the demulsification performance of electrocoagulation on oil-water emulsions formed by surfactants with different charges. The results showed that electrocoagulation had a higher removal efficiency for emulsions containing anionic surfactants compared to non-ionic surfactants. Charge neutralization played an important role in the destabilization of oil droplets, while sweep coagulation could enhance the removal of total organic carbon (TOC).

Enhanced oil droplet aggregation and demulsification by increasing electric field in electrocoagulation

Saiguo Yang et al.

Summary: Electrocoagulation is an efficient technology for removing oil-in-water emulsions, with higher electric field intensity aiding in oil removal and accelerating the aggregation of oil droplets. Increasing current density in EC processes results in higher Al3+ dosage and larger electric field intensity, which is conducive to oil droplet demulsification. These findings provide insight and a theoretical basis for improving oil removal by EC processes.
