Abstract
An active method for decanting the dispersed phase in the continuous phase of an emulsion. According to the method, repulsive forces created by an electric field are used on the drops constituting the dispersed phase. The electric field scans the reservoir containing the emulsion, enabling the dispersed phase to be concentrated in a determined region of the reservoir, for the recovery and/or analysis of the emulsion. A device implements the method.
