VORRICHTUNG UND VERFAHREN ZUM ELEKTRISCHEN TRENNEN VON EMULSIONEN

摘要

An electric treater and process for electrically resolving emulsions into organic and aqueous phases. The treater includes a horizontally positioned, planar, permeable electrode which is the only electrode means positioned in the treater. The interface between the bodies of organic and aqueous material which collect in the treater is kept at a position intermediate the electrode and a distributor means for introducing emulsion into the treater. The emulsion is resolved at the water surface, which serves as a grounded electrode.
