Abstract

The hydrophilic porous glass membranes were used to demulsify water-in-oil emulsion, liquid membrane and demulsification efficiency can reach more than 96 percent. Effects of pore size of the membrane, transmembrane pressure and volumetric ratio of oil phase to internal aqueous phase in the emulsion on demulsification were investigated. Correspondingly, effect of transmembrane pressure on permeation flux of the droplets was also studied.
