Abstract: A deoiling or demulsifying composition including talc. Also disclosed is a process for removal of hydrocarbons, oil or oil-bearing formations from an aqueous stream by adding talc to the aqueous stream. The process may also include one or more of: aerating or injecting air or gas into the aqueous stream; agitating the treated stream to form a layer comprising the hydrocarbons, oil or oil-bearing formations; and separating the layer from the aqueous stream.
