摘要
This paper reports the droplet size distribution (DSD) measurements in 28 W/O (water/oil) crude oil emulsions prepared with two Brazilian oils (medium and heavy) under different shear conditions using both 10 g L-1 NaCl solution and water production by low field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, 2.2 MHz). The PFGSTE (pulsed-field gradient-stimulated echo) pulse sequence applied was able to separate the crude oil emulsion signal for both medium and heavy oil even for low dispersed phase content (1.51 wt.%) and took into account only the aqueous phase signal. All emulsions exhibited an average diameter smaller than 5.5 mu m because of the severe shear conditions. Despite the difficult processing of the S24 (6.48 wt.%) emulsion signal, good agreement was achieved between low field NMR and low-angle laser light scattering (LALLS) results. Finally, the paramagnetic ions in the water production did not affect the NMR measurements, demonstrating its applicability for analyzing real emulsions.
