Abstract: Disclosed is a method for recovering and re-employing ionic surfactants from aqueous solutions and dispersions/emulsions of water and liquid hydrocarbons by the addition of a second polar phase as well as an inorganic salt which causes the preferred partitioning of the surfactant by providing a preferred ionic strength phase for the surfactant. More specifically, the method applies to recovering hydrate growth inhibitor/modifying compounds, comprising cationic surfactant, such as, for example, ammonium, phosphonium, and sulphonium alkylated compounds, which have been added to a fluid effluent of a hydrocarbon production well, the effluent including water, hydrate inhibitor compound, at least one additional polar solvent, and inorganic salt, by a method comprising adding sufficient additional ions of inorganic salt and, if necessary, an alcohol/glycol to the effluent to form a second polar phase, less polar than the aqueous phase, into which the hydrate inhibitor can then dissolve and be separated from the brine.

Abstract: At each measurement time, reflected light from a semiconductor wafer W or the like by measurement light from a measurement light source 11 is coupled to reference light from a reference light generating section 14, and interference light is detected by a photodetector 15. A raw thickness value calculating section 16b selects two light intensity peaks corresponding to the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer W from a light intensity distribution between an interference light intensity and a reference optical path length and calculates a raw thickness value. A statistical thickness value calculating section 16c executes statistical processing including data sorting, determination whether the raw thickness value falls within an allowable numerical value range, and determination of a thickness change line, thereby obtaining a statistical thickness value. With this arrangement, a thickness measuring apparatus and thickness measuring method capable of measuring the thickness of a semiconductor wafer during execution of wet etching independently of the presence of an etchant, and a wet etching apparatus and wet etching method using the thickness measuring apparatus and method are implemented. <IMAGE>
