摘要
Demulsification of emulsified watsr-in-oll droplets was worked out with the employment of wetting coalescence mtsrials. Demulsification is carried out in conventional stirted-colunm and packed-column, Among the four kinds of natural fibers and two kinds of inorganic materials tested, natural fiber A, originated from wood shavings was found to give the best performance of demulsifica-tion. The demulaification efficiency can exceed 96.5% when demulsification conditions are optimized. The packed-column showed much better performance both in terms of demulsification efficiency and repeated use of the recovered oll phase for extracting cadmium in simulated wastewater. Operating variables governing the demuliifieation efficiencv were inventigated.

Operating variables governing the demulsification efficiency were investigated.
