Zusammenfassung:An electrowetting coalescing device is disclosed, which device can be utilized for coalescing droplets of a dispersed phase within a continuous phase of an organic process fluid. The electrowetting coalescing device coalesces smaller droplets of the dispersed phase into larger droplets of the dispersed phase for subsequent removal of the larger droplets from the continuous phase. A method for coalescing droplets is also disclosed. A method of designing an electrowetting coalescing device with a mechanistic model is also disclosed.
