Abstract
A method of removing gel from a mixture is disclosed. The method includes receiving an initial mixture in a degradation vessel, the initial mixture comprising a polymer gel, oil and water from an underground formation. The initial mixture is processed within the degradation vessel with ultrasonic waves, wherein the ultrasonic waves degrade the polymer gel by breaking crosslinking bonds. Magnetic nanoparticles are then added to the resulting free polymer to form a magnetized mixture including agglomerated particles of magnetic nanoparticles bound to the free polymer. A magnetic field is then used to separate the agglomerated particles from the other components of the magnetized mixture.
