Comparison of microwave-assisted chemicals in demulsification of water-in-crude oil emulsions

Demulsification(emulsion breaking or emulsions destabilizing)is important in many industry applications such as the petroleum industry,painting and waste-water treatment in environmental technology.Chemical and microwave heating demulsification is the most widely used method of demulsifying...
