Coalescence Effect of Fusible Filter Using Centrifugal Filtration for Separation of Oil from Marine Animals

摘要

In the field of separation, a fusible filter has the following advantages: 1) materials captured by the filter can be recovered by melting the filter, 2) the filter can be recycled, and 3) the latent heat of solidi fication required to produce the filter is signi ficantly lower than that of vaporization. Herein, we report on the removal of stable surfactants (e. g., proteins) from surfactant-coated emulsi fied oil droplets via centrifugal filtration using a fusible filter.
