Comparison of Methods Used to Investigate Coalescence in Emulsions

We present a study of moderately stable dilute emulsions. These emulsions are models for water contaminated by traces of oil encountered in many water treatment situations. The purification of water and the elimination of oil rely on the emulsion stability. Despite actively being studied, the topic...

520 |a We present a study of moderately stable dilute emulsions. These emulsions are models for water contaminated by traces of oil encountered in many water treatment situations. The purification of water and the elimination of oil rely on the emulsion stability. Despite actively being studied, the topic of emulsion stability is still far from being fully understood. In particular, it is still unclear whether experimental methods accessing different length scales lead to the same conclusions. In the study presented in this paper, we have used different methods to characterize the emulsions, such as centrifugation and simple bottle tests, as well as investigations of the collision of single macroscopic oil drops at an oil-water interface. We studied different emulsions containing added polymer or surfactant. In the case of added polymer, centrifugation and single drop experiments led to opposite trends in stability when the polymer concentration is varied. In the case of added surfactant, both centrifugation and single drop experiments show a maximum stability when the surfactant concentration is increased, whereas bottle tests show a monotonous increase in stability. We propose tentative interpretations of these unexpected observations. The apparent contradictions are due to the fact that different methods require different drop sizes or different drop concentrations. The puzzling decrease in emulsion stability at a higher surfactant concentration observed with some methods, however, remains unclear. This coalescence study illustrates the fact that different results can be obtained when different experimental methods are used. It is therefore advisable not to rely on a single method, especially in the case of emulsions of limited stability for reasons explained in the paper
