SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the emulsification of white mineral oil with water, specifically addressing the challenge of delaying the addition of water in the emulsification process. It emphasizes that mineral oil and water do not naturally mix, necessitating the use of an emulsifier to achieve a stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. Proper agitation during the mixing process is crucial for successful emulsification, and further clarification on the theoretical mechanisms involved is requested from other forum members.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of emulsification processes
  • Knowledge of emulsifiers and their functions
  • Familiarity with oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion systems
  • Basic principles of mixing and agitation techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research different types of emulsifiers suitable for mineral oil and water mixtures
  • Explore the principles of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsification
  • Learn about the effects of agitation speed on emulsion stability
  • Investigate the theoretical mechanisms behind emulsification processes
USEFUL FOR

Chemical engineers, formulators in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, and anyone involved in the production of emulsions using mineral oil and water.

TL;DR
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
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
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.
