Abstract:Experimental researches including emulsion's stability, type identification and fluid interface detection have been carried out by terahertz technology in this paper. Stabilities of three crude oil emulsions and the demulsification process have been monitored by real-time terahertz spectroscopy. Meanwhile, O/W emulsions rather than W/O emulsions demonstrate characteristic absorption peaks at special frequency. These characteristic absorption peaks can be used to determine the concrete type of crude oil emulsio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
