Emulsions and Emulsion Stability, 2nd Edition

Author: Johan Sj?blom

Emulsions and Emulsion Stability provides comprehensive coverage of different aspects of emulsions from both theoretical and applied points of view. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded, presenting fundamental concepts such as flocculation and coalescence as well as advanced concepts such as inversion in emulsion systems. It also covers such topics as experimental characterization, technical systems, acid crude oils, chemical flooding, video microscopy, and separation technology and includes examples of online instrumentation. This text is a valuable reference for scientists and researchers in the fields of surfactant and emulsion science.

- Provides a comprehensive treatise of the emulsion phenomenon from a practical and a theoretical point of view

- Covers experimental characterization, technical systems, separation technology, and a variety of models for the separation performance

- Discusses how highly concentrated emulsions can be used as templates for solid, macroporous foams

- Describes numerical simulation of fluids, batch and continuous separation, and fluid behavior

- Offers essential background to the isolation, separation, and characterization of individual acids occurring in crude oils

- Explains the use of video microscopy as a technique to monitor online the droplet size distribution in product lines from the separator and on-line instrumentation

Emulsions and Emulsion Stability, Second Edition provides comprehensive coverage of both theoretical and practical aspects of emulsions. The book presents fundamental concepts and processes in emulsified systems, such as flocculation, coalescence, stability, precipitation, deposition, and the evolution of droplet size distribution.

The book explains how to predict emulsion stability and determine droplet sizes in a variety of emulsion systems. It discusses spontaneous emulsification and the formation of "nanoemulsions" as well as droplet-droplet interactions in different electrical fields (electrocoalescence), and the formulation, composition, and preparation variables that contribute to the inversion in emulsion systems. Several chapters emphasize applications such as emulsification encountered in oil spills, asphalt, chemical flooding, acid crude oils, and large-scale industrial wastewater treatment. The survey of experimental characterization methods highlights the importance of thin liquid films in colloidal systems and assesses different NMR applications, ultrasound characterization, video microscopy, and other on-line instrumentation. The last chapter in the book deals with obtaining conductivity measurements as an alternative to online instrumentation.

Completely revised and expanded, this second edition of Emulsions and Emulsion Stability offers a well-rounded collection of knowledge that is applicable to all academic and industrial scientists and researchers in the fields of surfactant and emulsion science.
