Application of Fe3O4 magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO2) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Elmobarak W.F.

“…The developed MD exhibited high recyclability at an effective and stable %Roil and %ηdem of ∼90% and 86.4% after 9 cycles, respectively. Demulsification process best fits the combined Langmuir-Freundlich (L-F) isotherm with highest adsorption capacity (Qmax) of 186.0 ± 5 mgoil/gMD compared to 86.0 ± 5 mgoil/gMD for Fe3O4, which is 1.1 folds greater than Qmax reported in the literature for other demulsifiers.…”
