COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR SEPARATING IMMISCIBLE LIQUIDS

Provided are methods and related compositions for separating immiscible organic and aqueous compositions. The methods include dispersing a discrete, insoluble filler in the organic composition, dispersing the organic composition into the aqueous composition, and separating under gravity the organic and aqueous compositions into respective upper and lower layers. Advantageously, the insoluble filler remains in the organic composition and facilitates segregation and coalescence of droplets of the organic composition in the aqueous composition. 本发明提供用于分离不可混溶的有机组合物和含水组合物的方法和相关组合物。所述方法包括将离散的不溶性填料分散在所述有机组合物中，将所述有机组合物分散到所述含水组合物中，在重力下将所述有机组合物和所述含水组合物分离成相应的上层和下层。有利地，所述不溶性填料保留在所述有机组合物中并且促进所述有机组合物的液滴在所述含水组合物中的离析和聚结。
