Composite Absorbent Particles for Drying an Emulsions

摘要

Emulsions are dispersed systems wherein one phase is dispersed in another immiscible phase. Stabilized emulsions with small droplets are typically slow to phase separate and require elevated demulsifier dosage to counteract the stabilizing effect of surfactants, fine bi-wetting particles, or both; and promote droplet coalescence. The compositions and processes of the present invention are useful in removing stabilized water droplets from an emulsion with non-aqueous continuous phase. The composite absorbent particle is ideally suited to removed emulsified water through absorption of emulsified water.
