Abstract
-octane, kerosene, chloroform and water mixtures in batch operation and continuous operation. In batch operations, the separation efficiency can reach 99% and can achieve 5 consecutive high-efficiency separations without intermittent drying. In continuous flow operation, oil-water separation can last for more than 12 hours and the separation efficiency can reach 98%. It also has stable oil-water separation performance for oil-water emulsion.
