Mixtures of oil and water are found both in nature and as a consequence of man’s activities. Very often suchmixtures are used to advantage for example, as machine tool lubricants and in liquid/liquid extraction processes. But inthe context of oil pollution, oily water mixtures are undesirable. Oil and water have very low mutual solubility and inmost cases, oil has lower density than water. Yet the separation of oil and water can present very great difficulties. Theextent of this problems is determined not only by the physical properties of the oil, its density, interfacial tension andviscosity, but equally by the physical properties of water, the presence of substance or micro-organisms at the oil, waterinterface, and the hydrodynamic condition experienced by the oil and water. Already the diversity of the problem can beappreciated.
