Yeasts and bacterial biosurfactants as demulsifiers for petroleum derivative in seawater emulsions

Yeasts and bacterial biosurfactants as demulsifiers for petroleum derivative in seawater emulsions

Abstract Oil sludge or waste generated in transport, storage or refining forms highly stable mixtures due to the presence and additives with surfactant properties and water forming complex emulsions. Thus, demulsification is necessary to separate this residual oil from the aqueous phase for oil proc...
