Abstract
The objective of the research was to investigate the influence of kerosene and oleic acid on emulsion formation. The two solutions were combined to form an emulsion by dispersing the kerosene solution into small droplets within the aqueous phase with the assistance of oleic acid. The surfactant reduced the interfacial tension between the two solutions, facilitating the emulsification process and stabilizing the droplets formed. A comprehensive understanding of the variables that control to the formation and stability of emulsions is essential for their effective development. For this purpose, the stability of oil-in-water emulsions was evaluated by measuring droplet size, turbidity, zeta potential, surface tension, and conductivity. Improved emulsion stability was correlated with smaller droplet size, increased turbidity, and reduced surface tension. The results of this research have significant potential for a variety of industrial applications.
