Oil and water have very low mutual sol ubilities and in most cases, oil has a lower density than water -it floa ts on water. The extent of these difficulties is determined by the physical properties of the oil, its density, interfacial tension and viscosity. The term 'oil' when applied to oil-water separation is used to refer to an extremely wide range of materials.
