Emulsification of Water in Fuel Oil Emulsion by Phase Inversion

Article Preview

Abstract:

Emulsification of water and fuel oil emulsion was experimentally investigated. The water-in-oil emulsion was produced with ultrasonic mixer and phase inversion concentration using a mixture of Span80 and Tween80 as emulsifiers. The emulsion was characterized by water droplet size, distribution and visual observation of microscopy photographs. Water in fuel oil emulsion prepared by phase inversion concentration was found to be similar to that prepared by the ultrasonic mixer in term of average droplet size and distribution
