        Nowadays chemical and electrostatic demulsification techniques are typically usedto separate water-in-crude-oil emulsions. The need to improve demulsificationtechniques has led to the use of various additives among which nanoparticleshave emerged as a novel alternative. Most of the exploited crude oil exists in anemulsion state, where may cause serious problems during processing. Chemicaldemulsifiers, bottle tests, and electrostatic desalters are commonly used toseparate water from crude oil emulsions but there are some issues involved withthese methods. Therefore, using new technologies like nanotechnology can help improve the desalting process. First, Fe3O4 and Fe3O4-chitosan nanocompositewere synthesized via co-precipitation method. Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles werecharacterized by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The results showed that ultrafine Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared and coatedby chitosan. In this study, Fe3O4 and Fe3O4-chitosan nanocomposite were utilizedto improve emulsion destabilization. The effect of different parameters on theseparation performance was studied and the best conditions were determined.The results showed that the application of certain nanostructures in crude oilemulsions improves the performance of demulsification up to 86% and decreasesthe amount of demulsifier consumption in the desalting process. تفاصيل المقالة

        Ion distribution on the spinel structure of ferrite nanoparticles is one of the critical factors that can affect magnetic properties. Therefore, if a method changes ion distribution, it can be used for fabrication (synthesis) of nanoparticles with different magnetic properties that apply in the diverse of technology field. In this work, the dependence of magnetic characteristics of the cobalt-doped nickel ferrite nanoparticles on Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) assisted co-precipitation processes was studied. The structural and magnetic measurements were made employing XRD and VSM. Nanoparticles with a cubic spinel structure and an average size of about 29 nm have been synthesized, and their structure was confirmed using the XRD pattern and Sherrer’s equation. According to the obtained hysteresis loops of the five sets of synthesized nanoparticles, the coercive field and magnetization are different because of the interaction between polymer and metal ions in the reaction medium that causes a kind of ion immobilization and different ion distribution over the spinel structure. Such polymer-based synthesis procedures can be used to fabricate of magnetic nanoparticles with tunable magnetic properties. تفاصيل المقالة
