Abstract

See full text

A method of separating an oil-and-water phase from an oil-and-water emulsion, which method comprises passing the emulsion first through a wall of a prefilter composed first of fibres having an energy of adhesion of from 2 to 50 ergs/cm.sup.2 to form larger oil droplets, and, thereafter, passing the larger oil droplets and the emulsion through adjacent layers of glass fibres, to separate the oil phase from the oil-and-water emulsion, and then collecting and removing the oil phase, while permitting the passage of an essentially oil-free water phase of the emulsion from the prefilter.
