Separation of viscous hydrocarbons and minerals particles from aqueous mixtures by mixtures by oleophilic adhesion
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7041065
A method for the continuous separation and removal of oil phase from an aqueous phase and oil phase mixture is described which comprises, (a) providing a continuous separation and recovery system comprising a generally horizontal rotatable drum; (b) continuously introducing the aqueous and oil phase mixture into the feed compartment while the drum is rotating and continuously tumbling the mixture in the presence of the oleophilic free bodies; (c) continuously withdrawing the aqueous phase from the discharge compartment through the apertures contained in the apertured wall thereof in a lower area of drum rotation, and (d) removing the oil phase from the outer surface of the apertured wall.
