Abstract
A method for breaking an emulsion may include contacting the emulsion with an emulsion-breaking solution to coalesce a dispersed phase and obtain a discrete boundary between an aqueous phase and an oleaginous phase. The emulsion may include a continuous phase and a dispersed phase dispersed within the continuous phase. The emulsion breaking solution includes an emulsion breaking compound that includes carbonate-link monomers and ether-link monomers. The carbonate-link monomers and ether-link monomers may be independently substituted with substituted or unsubstituted (C-C) linear or branched hydrocarbyl, substituted or unsubstituted (C-C) cyclohydrocarbyl, substituted or unsubstituted (C-C) aryl, —NH, alkyl amines, alkoxylated amines, and substituted or unsubstituted (C-C) linear or branched heterohydrocarbyl.
