The oil industry faces with crude oil emulsions formation issue. It is a common problem for
the most of oil-producing countries around the world, including the Republic of Kazakhstan …

Background Ionic liquids have received a lot of interest in recent years from scientists and
academics due to their distinctive qualities, including low vapor pressure, low toxicity, high …

The economic development, utilization of petroleum and industrial production have
produced a large quantity of emulsified oily wastewater, which will pose a serious threat to …

Green oil-field chemicals based on ionic liquids (ILs) are highly recommended as
demulsifiers for heavy crude oil emulsions due to their low vapor pressure, high thermal and …

This work aims to prepare two new amphiphilic and interfacial active gemini ionic liquids to
treat crude oil and investigates its demulsification mechanism. Tetraethylene glycol was …

In this paper, an ionic liquid (DEBIL) was synthesized by a simple and controllable method.
The chemical structure was verified by FT-IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR, and the …

Separation of water and oil from water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion before transportation and
refining is very important and critical. Ionic liquids (ILs) and their derivatives have recently …

Currently, widely-used demulsifiers are primarily produced using ethylene oxide and
propylene oxide as raw ingredients. The production process is hazardous and complicated …

The separation of oil–water emulsions is a pressing and crucial task due to the significant
impact on transportation costs and pipeline corrosion. Currently, commercially available …

Green dispersants are so-called “green” because they are renewable (from bio-based
sources), non-volatile (from ionic liquids), or are from naturally available solvents (vegetable …
