Oil/Water Emulsion Separation
iron oxide (II,III) nanoparticles as ecological magnetic sorbents for a crude oil or cutting oil emulsion.
1. THE MECHANISM OF SEPARATION
Wion Technology company offers iron oxide nanoparticles with a magnetic core (IONSOL) to be used as nanosorbent for oil recovery from stable emulsions.

3. MARKETS
CUTTING FLUID
turning, milling, drilling, grinding are kind of metalworking processes that use oil in water emulsions to reduce wear of cutting blades. The role of those fluids is to cool and lubricate a steel surface. Wastewaters need to be purified before disposal, mainly due to biodegradation.


CRUDE OIL EMULSION
crude oil emulsions are formed during extraction and due to presence of asphaltenes, resins and particles, the emulsion is stable. Deemulsification is necesessary to achieve proper oil content. The most popular are chemical and electrical methods.
OIL SPILL CLEANUP
oil spill is challenging for treatment, considering efficiency and environmental issues. Among many methods, magnetic deemulsification is a promising technology due to high capability, oil recovery, naturaly safe and not sensitive to temperature range.

4. PRODUCT REVIEW
Wion Technology offers industrial affordable production of iron oxide nanoadsorbents, according to the sorption purpose.
The functionalization of the iron oxide surface is conditioned by confirmed scientific premises or previous research results.

5. EMULSION SEPARATION PID
Given below example of an plant for emulsion separation allows to achieve high rate of oil recovery. Magnetic field need to be applied to fasten the recovery. Due to superparamagnetic properties of our produced iron oxide nanoparticles it is simple to implement.
