FIELD: demulsifying processes. SUBSTANCE: to water-oil emulsion stabilized by solid suspended particles, surfactant solution in electroactivated cathodic water is added under stirring and heating. Mixture obtained is preliminarily settled to separate released water phase and, to remained emulsion, electroactivated cathodic water is added to reverse emulsion under shear effect, whereupon reversed emulsion is settled. After surfactant is added, emulsion is advantageously treated in electric field. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of separation process. 2 cl |
