Abstract

A demulsification-dehydration method by using a chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field, including: subjecting a waste oil emulsion to the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field for demulsification and dehydration. The chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field includes a plurality of pulse electric field groups varying in pulse angular frequency. The pulse angular frequency of each pulse electric field group varies chaotically within a preset range. Each pulse electric field group includes a plurality of pulses of equal frequency, duty cycle and electric field intensity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A demulsification-dehydration method by using a chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field, comprising:
 (a) connecting a pulse power supply to an electric field demulsifier; and   (b) applying, by the pulse power supply, the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field sequentially to a waste oil emulsion in the electric field demulsifier for demulsification and dehydration;   wherein the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field comprises a plurality of pulse electric field groups varying in pulse angular frequency; pulse angular frequencies between the plurality of pulse electric field groups exhibit a non-repetitive chaotic variation within a preset range; and each of the plurality of pulse electric field groups comprises a plurality of pulses of equal frequency, duty cycle and electric field intensity;   the non-repetitive chaotic variation is determined by equations expressed as:
