Effect of of SiO2 nanoparticles hydrophobicity and size on emulsion stability of acidic crude oil Notes: (A) Hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles R805 and R974, exhibited ineffective to emulsify acidic crude oil; (B) Microscopic images of hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticle R805 and R974 failed to emulsify crude oil; (C) Microscopic images of hydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticle A200 and MZ32090 emulsified crude oil; (D) dehydration rate of hydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles A200 and MZ32090 emulsified crude oil. A lower dehydration rate indidated a higher stability
