Composite systems of surfactants have been extensively applied in the recovery and
removal of heavy oil. In this work, the characteristics and mechanisms of heavy oil removal …

Water pollution due to oil drilling, human mistakes, tanker accidents, and natural disasters
have severely affected humanity. A rapid removal of such pollutants from the environment …

Frequent oil spills in recent years due to human activities including oil drilling, tanker
accidents or industrialization, give rise to an urgent need for the development of sorbent …

In the present study, the adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies of
crude oil spills on waste newspapers (WNP), waste polystyrene (WPS) and their composites …

A continuous in situ oil–water separation technique for cleanup of oil spills has been
designed using surface modified polyurethane (PU) sponges as sorbents. By connecting PU …

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have investigated the process of oil molecules
detachment from dolomite surface in different surfactant solutions (anionic, cationic …

Efficient oil-water separation, including of emulsified oil separation, is one of the problems
restricting the green development of the petrochemical industry. Herein, highly hydrophobic …

Oil and organic solvent contamination, derived from oil spills and organic solvent leakage,
has been recognized as one of the major environmental issues imposing a serious threat to …

Spilled oil frequently reaches the shorelines and affects coastal biota and communities. The
application of surface washing agents is an important shoreline cleanup technique that can …

The adsorption behaviour of aqueous solutions of anionic surfactant and polymeric
surfactant derived from Jatropha oil onto sand surface was investigated in connection of …
