Abstract
A method of recovering liquid from an emulsion formed in a liquid-liquid contacting process, where the emulsion comprises at least one of the liquids entrapped by water-permeable membranes, comprises: admixing water and the emulsion in a volume ratio of water:emulsion of between 0.5 to 4.5:1 and raising the temperature of the admixture to between about 45.degree. C. and 99.degree. C., to cause water permeation of the membranes, causing them to disintegrate and release liquid, forming a three-phase composition consisting essentially of the two liquids and the solids.
