摘要

This thesis presents studies on the behavior of water-in-oil emulsions, investigating (1) the flow and coalescence of emulsions and (2) the structure and stability of thin oil films that separate water drops in an emulsion. The principal objective of this work was to develop a better fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of coalescence to aid in the breaking of waste emulsions found in oil spills and refinery sludges.; The first part of this work focused on the use of fibrous mats to induce coalescence in these concentrated, water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions. Extensional rheological measurements made on concentrated water-in-oil emulsions showed that elongational flow (contributing significantly to the flow pattern in a porous medium) did not induce any structuring or produce unexpected rheological behavior. Experiments on emulsion flow through fibrous mats were fairly inconclusive but did show that (1) fibrous mats can induce coalescence for concentrated emulsions and (2) both preferential wettability and surfactant type play key roles in the effectiveness of a fibrous mat coalescer. Difficulties were encountered in obtaining materials that would allow systematic studies, and a lack of any real understanding of the mechanistic factors that underlie emulsion stability was realized.; To help develop a more fundamental understanding of emulsion stability, studies on the structure and stability of thin oil films were made using an industrial polymeric surfactant. Applied voltages were used to determine film thickness from capacitance measurements and to apply compressional forces on the films. The films were found to be very thick and compressible compared to both lipid films and the expected polymer molecular configuration. Experiments on the rupture of the films at high voltages showed rupture occurs due to the formation and growth of pores. Purification of polymer and a decrease in film area increase the stability of the films. Comparisons between mechanical and electrical coalescence are difficult to make owing to the formation of stable, conductive pores.
