Demulsifier definition

The chemicals added represent two of the categories mentioned above, i.e., the LMW and HMW demulsifiers. The definition of these additives (see Tables 3 and 4) is very general. However, fi oma fimctional point of view their interfacial activity under operational conditions is of interest. The interfacial tension between an organic phase (30/70 toluene/decane) and an aqueous phase (with 3.5% NaCl) was determined upon addition of 25, 50, and 100 ppm of additives yq without additives is 36.3 mN/m.
