Oil water emulsion breaking - in vertical tubular cell with coaxial anode operated in batches

摘要

Oil-in-water emulsion is sepd. electrolytically in a vertical tubular cell with its wall forming one of the electrodes and a coaxial plate or tube the second. The sepn. is performed in batches. Pref. tubular cell is inserted in a base plate and has a coaxial second electrode. Oil foam leaves on top through a hole and a foam chute. Emulsion enters from the inlet. After the completed electrolysis and breaking of the emulsion, the cell is shifted sideways from the intermediate position into the third position over the outlet. USE/ADVANTAGE - Dispenses with consumable electrodes and with flocculants. For the lubricating/cooling needs of the metal working industry.
