Abstract:Demulsification of emulsions is of great interest for industrial applications. For developing a new, alternative preservation process, investigations are conducted for separating a mixture of water and an oil-based preservative by membrane technology. Using a water-in-oil emulsion, the conventional membrane separation with hydrophobic membranes does not show a reasonable result. It was found that the oil-based preservative leads to a hydrophilization of the membrane by its amphipathic character. Subsequently, … Show more
