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.
 

1. 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 an emulsion. This emulsion is created by adding an emulsifying agent to the oil and water mixture, which helps to disperse the oil droplets into smaller sizes and keep them suspended in the water.

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

The purpose of oil emulsification by way of the put-off water is to make it easier to separate and remove oil from water. Emulsification helps to break down the oil into smaller droplets, making it easier for other methods such as skimming or filtration to remove it from the water.

3. What are some common emulsifying agents used in oil emulsification by way of the put-off water?

Some common emulsifying agents used in oil emulsification by way of the put-off water include surfactants, polymers, and natural substances such as egg whites or gelatin. These agents work by reducing the surface tension between the oil and water, allowing them to mix together more easily.

4. What are the environmental benefits of using oil emulsification by way of the put-off water?

Oil emulsification by way of the put-off water can help to reduce the environmental impact of oil spills or industrial discharges into water bodies. By breaking down the oil into smaller droplets, it becomes easier to remove and can prevent harm to aquatic life and ecosystems.

5. Are there any limitations to oil emulsification by way of the put-off water?

While oil emulsification by way of the put-off water can be effective in certain situations, it may not be suitable for all types of oil or water conditions. Factors such as the type of oil, temperature, and salinity of the water can affect the effectiveness of emulsification. Additionally, the emulsifying agent used may have its own limitations and may not be suitable for all types of oil or water. It is important to carefully consider these factors when using this method for oil spill cleanup or other applications.
