Application of Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO₂) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Wamda Faisal Elmobarak (17058024)

“…Using an MD_dose as low as 10 mg/L attained a %_hdem in the range of 93% - 4.3% for O/W mixtures with C_oil < 2000 mg/L, which slightly decreased to ~90% for higher concentrations. The reported %R_oil(p-value <0.05) was >90 ± 0.1 for tests carried out with pH 7 and C_sur0.1 g/L and declined at higher pH and Csur to % 86.5 due to the increase in emulsion stability. …”
