Magnetic polyester bis-MPA dendron nanohybrid demulsifier can effectively break water-in-crude oil emulsions

Crude oil is normally produced in the form of a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. One of the major challenges during crude oil exploration is the high viscosity of crude oil produced due to the formation of stable emulsions. This affects the overall cost of crude oil transport, promotes salt deposition i...
