An emulsifier has both a hydrophilic and hydrophobic part. It acts as a surfactant, with one part attracted to the oil phase and the other part attracted to the water phase, stabilizing the junction between the phases.

What is the time taken for a mixture of oil water and emulsifier to separate depending on the volume of emulsifier?

The time taken for a mixture of oil, water, and emulsifier to separate depends on the volume of emulsifier because emulsifiers work by reducing the surface tension between oil and water molecules, allowing them to mix. The more emulsifier present, the longer it may take for the mixture to separate as it stabilizes the emulsion. Excess emulsifier can prevent separation entirely.
