Factors affecting oil emulsion stability
Therefore interfacial films are due to emulsion stability, so it is necessary to understand the dactorws which affect the interfacial films. Which are mentioned below in details [2][3][4][6][7]:
Heavy polar fractions in the crude oil
Solids, including organic (asphaltenes, waxes) and inorganic (clays, scales, corrosion products, etc.) materials
Temperature
Droplet size and droplet-size distribution
pH of the brine; and brine composition
1. Heavy polar fraction in crude oil
Naturally occurring emulsifiers are concentrated in the higher-boiling polar fraction of the crude oil.[2][3][4][6][7][8][9] These include:
Asphaltenes
Resins
Oil-soluble organic acids (e.g., naphthenic, carboxylic) and bases
These compounds are the main constituents of the interfacial films surrounding the water droplets that give emulsions their stability.
Asphaltenes
Below figure shown asphaltene stabilized with water droplet. The film which creates between asphaltene and water acts as a barrier to prevent coalescence.
The molecules at the oil/water interface result in an increase in both the interfacial viscosity and the apparent viscosity of the oil in the film between the

Fig. 13 shows the effect of a bicarbonate brine and distilled water on emulsion stability as a function of pH.[3] Optimal pH for water separation changes from approximately 10 for distilled water to between 6 and 7 for the brine solution because of an ionization effect (association/interaction of ions present in the brine with the asphaltenes). The study suggests that for most crude oil/brine systems an optimum pH range exists for which the interfacial film exhibits minimum emulsion-stabilizing or maximum emulsion-breaking properties. The optimum pH for maximum emulsion stability depends on both the crude oil and brine compositions. The latter seems to be more
Yang Kwija’s “Cold Water Pass” is another work by him that does not conform to the ideals of utility by showing how a family is negatively affected by the state of their society rather than showing how the majority is prospering. “Cold Water Pass” follows the story of a family in which the father died and left them with a lot of debt and had to be taken care of by their older brother despite their financial difficulties. During this story when their mother was talking about their struggles, she said that “’Weren’t for your big brother, we would have starved.’ Mother often recalled her eldest son’s labors, and it was true. Like a cloud drifting in the sky, Father cared only for otherworldly things and died suddenly, leaving behind intense poverty,
Prior to this class I did not know the severity of just how deadly eating disorders were. Growing up you heard about eating disorders and there may have been a few girls in high school that you knew were suffering from an eating disorder but that was the extent of what you knew. The fact that 8 million people are affected by an eating disorder is a staggering number that should alarm parents and peers alone. But although it affects this many people and has the highest mortality rate among psychiatric disorders it is rarely talked about until it hits close to home.
It cannot be denied that our indigenous population has suffered severely since the colonisation of Australia. While the movement towards reconciliation is undoubtedly gaining widespread support, unfortunately many misconceptions are still prevalent and the future of many indigenous Australians is still uncertain. Disadvantage is still experienced by an unacceptable number of the population. Statistically, indigenous people have poorer health, opportunities for education, life expectancy, employment options and the majority live in the remote areas of Australia. As well as this
Welcome to cinematic studies, accredited by the national top radio station, 666. I’m your host, Gurki Gill and todays show will be featuring an Australian director, Wayne Blair. Today we’ll be taking about an Australian iconic indigenous film, The Sapphires and its historical context. |What made the film feel like it was real?
Though they are friends, the lives of Pedro Machuca and Gonzalo Infante differ drastically in many aspects including family life, the luxuries they can afford, and the political affiliations chosen by their families. All of which relate to the common everyday life of Chilean citizens during the Allende Presidency, and the Pinochet Dictatorship implemented after the coup d'etat. During this time, the civil unrest never ceased, and life for chileans was generally either good or bad based on social status, income, and party affiliation. Both Machuca and Infante are classic examples of the division inequality of life amongst Chileans, with Machuca being a poor boy who lived in a shanty town, having very little education, and owning very few possessions. Where as Infante is wealthy, has a high end private education, and can afford to buy various luxury items such as brand name shoes and food for his family.
A large portion of the world today do not know who the Roma are and certainly do not fully understand their complex history. The name provokes images of mysterious dark haired, dark skinned individuals roaming in large caravans telling and stealing fortunes, but very few know the true story of their origin. Roma is a broad term used to describe the ethnicity of a diverse community of people that consider themselves a "landless nation"(eric.ed.gov) It includes those from France, Wales, Finland, Scotland, Sweden, Germany, Albania, Croatia, Turkey, and many others. Roma, or Romani, originated in the Punjab region of India about 1,500 years ago.
The Elimination: A Survivor of the Khmer Rouge Confronts His Past and the Commandant of the Killing Fields. Rithy Panh is an internationally and critically acclaimed Cambodian documentary film director and screenwriter. Rithy Panh was a young boy when Khmer Rouge revolutionaries arrived in Phnom Penh on April 17, 1975. Starting that day, he and his family were designated “new people”—the revolution’s code for those who needed “re-education”—and forcibly evacuated out of the city. That day began a terrifying experience that gradually took away most of his family, forcing Rithy to survive a series of brutal, and often arbitrarily cruel, ordeals.
At some point of your life you meet very special people that carry very similar interests. This creates bonds that can be a very powerful and important part of your life. Some may say that bonds are created between a series of negative events that leads up to friendship. However, this is not true because in The Way, the main characters come together to walk the same path. Each character motivates each other to achieve the overall reason of why they wanted to walk The Camino De Santiago.
In the film Extreme Measures someone can find ideas of Secular Ethics throughout the film involving Utilitarianism and its basic tenets along with Kantian analysis. The basic tenets of Utilitarianism include the principle of utility, Hedonism, and the viewpoint of a disinterested and benevolent spectator. While the tenets of Kantian Ethics, which include good will, the formula of universal law, the formula of the end itself, and the categorical imperative. These basic ideas setup arguments for and against the Utilitarian ideas set up by doctor Myrick. In the film doctor Myrick makes the claim that it is worth the deaths of unwilling subjects in order to help/save the lives of millions.
Introduction Chevron Phillips Chemical Company is the major producer of Cyclohexane. This successful company hoses the three largest cyclohexane plants in the world. Many are puzzled by how the production of cyclohexane seems to have become stagnant. Perhaps this is due to the cost of benzene increasing or the demand increasing. Through thorough investigation, the answer to this question and many more can be answered.
The tensions that emerge between the focus of a group and ordinary people both have claims of having more impact than the other. Even though the globe has evolved it 's about the divide between the ones who grow with advances and the ones who are left behind. Social theorist look into the everyday realities of the world through perspectives on society. Each person’s gender, society class, and nationality are encountered with a particular context or junction where several social categories intercept, called intersexuality. One cannot gain knowledge just but looking at a single thing, like only social class.
Don’t let the movie title, Milk, fool you. The movie’s title has nothing to do with the milk beverage. Sorry milk enthusiast. On the other hand, for those who love politics then this is the movie for you. This movie is solely focused on American Democracy.

This essay is an overview of producing high quality sound from elements like music, the recording of common every day sounds and the use of hi-tech equipment. Whether it takes place in the production stage or the post- production stage of sound design.
The Other Pair is a very moving and motivational video, which made me understand that we have to change our thoughts, we should seek to help, offer or give to others without expecting anything back. The whole story of this short movie is basically revolving around two young boys who acted in such a selfless and generous way, that in their purity, they were teaching an important lesson to everybody who watched the movie. The entire movie was filmed in natural daylight, which I think makes everything look much more clear and natural looking rather than harsh studio lightning. The main characters of the movie were a poor young boy wearing worn out clothing & another kid who appeared to have a place from a rich family.
