A mixture of kerosene oil and water is poured to the separating funnel. Let it stand undisturbed for sometime so that separate layers of oil and water are formed. Open the stopcock of the separating funnel and pour out the lower layer of water carefully.

Answer:
Gravity separation is the most widely used method for oil emulsion separation. The elements in the well stream such as oil and water have different gravities. The density differences allow water to separate by gravity. With enough time in a non-turbulent state, the differing specific gravities will naturally separate.
