chloride,
How will you separate a mixture of sodium
kerosene oil and water?
Answers
Answer:
by decantation and sedimentation and after it filter the water
Answer:
If kerosene and water are mixed throughly, they will separate into a kerosene layer on top and a water layer below. The water can be drained off in a separatory funnel. But the kerosene layer will contain a very small amount of dissolved water and perhaps some microscopic droplets.
If you have an emulsion, not likely with kerosene, look for something like a desalter. Desalters quickly break emulsions of crude oil using an electric field. That will work batchwise or continuously. do this in a lab with a couple of long electrodes. If some sort of emulsifier has been added deliberately or inadvertently water washing may help dilute it and consider a commercial demuslifier additive.
