Efficient demulsification of water-in-crude oil emulsions using CTAB-modified bentonite: structure alteration, interfacial behavior, and performance evaluation

Water-in-crude oil emulsions are a major challenge in petroleum production due to increased viscosity, pipeline corrosion, and higher processing costs. Conventional demulsifiers are often expensive or environmentally harmful, motivating the development of low-cost and recyclable...
