Abstract
A method and an apparatus for continuously separating disperse phase and a continuous phase from a liquid-liquid emulsion. The emulsion, such as an oil-water emulsion, is flowed into a contacting zone in which the emulsion is agitated with continuous phase wet, disperse phase coalescing, length-classified chemically-pulped cellulose fibers and separated into a disperse phase and a continuous phase which are separately withdrawn.
