A conical flask containing the salinized water and the organic liquid was placed on a vibration isolation table to minimize the effects of ground vibration. The aqueous phase below the organic liquid was collected by a slow siphonic process in which the aqueous phase was collected drop by drop at a rate of about 1 mL/min. Examination of this liquid using CHDF showed the presence of sub-microscopic emulsion droplets of various sizes, but all were less than 600 nm. An optial microscopic image showed the presence of such nano-droplets; however, its size could not be determined by this method as it was less than the optical resolution. After collecting the aqueous phase in a glass vial and examining it in CHDF in subsequent days showed that the droplet size distribution shifted to higher values either via Ostwald ripening and/or fusion.
