A method has been derived to completely recover mineral oil dispersed in water. The method involves three steps: the emulsification of the mineral oil by adding amphiphiles, the breaking of the emulsion by adding salts and the extraction of the mineral oil by a non-polar aprotic solvent. Various amphiphiles and types and concentrations of salts were tested. By using amphiphiles with HLB numbers in the range 4.7 to 40 a complete recovery of the mineral oil could be obtained for a combination of salts Na2SO4 + NaH2PO4 with total ionic strength of 6 mol/L.
