ABSTRACT

“Switch water” (SW) is an aqueous solution of switchable ionic strength trigger by CO2. In this article, three tertiary amino alcohols were chosen to build CO2-responsive SW. An ingenious recyclable SW–diesel oil emulsion system was built to separate oily content from oily cuttings. The separation rate of diesel oil from emulsion almost reached 100% after CO2 treatment under appropriate conditions. Recycling of SW was easily done by N2 treatment. Compared with the traditional methods, CO2-responsive SW which is energy saving, pollution free, and efficient has all the qualifications to become a mainstream treatment in the near future.
