A lot of quartz sand will be adsorbed on the oil-water interface. I guess that the wettability of the sand in the water becomes weak after the sand is coated with oil, causing a lot of quartz sand to be adsorbed at the oil-water interface.

Are there other methods or reagents other than stirring that can greatly reduce the sand adsorbed at the interface?

Thanks!
