In summary, the conversation discusses the process of creating an emulsion using white mineral oil and water. The speaker mentions that adding an emulsifier and agitating the mixture can result in an emulsion, but it is difficult to understand the exact process. They suggest seeking further explanation from someone else.

TL;DR Summary
How is the white oil emulsified O/W but thre water is to be put off later
How is the correct work to be done on white mineral oil emulsified as O/W but most of the water is to be deferred / put off later by indefinite amount of time?
At the time water is added/mixed that mixture just become exactly the same as the emulsification mixture being done at once

Difficult to understand what you said. Mineral oil and water may not mix or may not stay mixed. An emulsifier would be added to one of them and then the other is to be added with agitation; and the result may be an emulsion. Some other member could explain the theory or the mechanism.
 

What is oil emulsification by way of the put-off water?

Oil emulsification by way of the put-off water is a process in which oil and water are mixed together to form a stable emulsion. This is achieved by using a special type of water, known as put-off water, which contains natural emulsifiers that help to keep the oil and water mixed together.

How does the put-off water help to emulsify oil?

The put-off water contains natural emulsifiers, such as proteins and polysaccharides, which have the ability to bind to both oil and water molecules. This allows the oil and water to remain mixed together, forming a stable emulsion.

What are the benefits of oil emulsification by way of the put-off water?

Oil emulsification by way of the put-off water has several benefits. It can help to reduce the amount of oil needed for a particular application, as well as improve the efficiency of oil recovery processes. It also has environmental benefits, as it can help to reduce the amount of oil pollution in water bodies.

What types of oils can be emulsified using put-off water?

Put-off water can be used to emulsify a wide range of oils, including crude oil, vegetable oil, and mineral oil. It is particularly effective for emulsifying heavy oils, which are typically more difficult to emulsify using traditional methods.

Are there any limitations to using put-off water for oil emulsification?

While put-off water is a highly effective emulsifier, there are some limitations to its use. It may not be suitable for all types of oils, and the effectiveness of the emulsification process may vary depending on the specific properties of the oil and the put-off water used. Additionally, the availability of put-off water may be limited in certain regions.
