Question

Write a short note with an activity on Separating oil and water​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:
