Mechanical oil recovery (ie, booming and skimming) is the most common tool for oil spill
response. The recovered fluid generated from skimming processes may contain a …

The separation of oil-in-water emulsion is an urgent challenge because its massive
production and discharge from daily and industrial activities have caused severe hazards to …

Natural materials that can absorb a large amount of oil have recently received a lot of
interest as sorbents to clean up oil spills in seawater. In this work, kapok fibre was blended …

The presence of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions poses a serious threat to the equilibrium of
aquatic ecosystems, contaminates potable water resources, and disrupts the structure of soil …

Oily wastewater poses a serious threat to the ecological environment due to the difficulty in
efficiently and economically separating micron-sized oil droplets from the wastewater …

A simple, durable, superior UV-shielded, self-cleanable, hydrophobic/superoleophile cotton
fabric was developed using SBA-15 mesoporous silica and epoxy coating (SE). The cotton …

Over the past few years, the environment and public safety have suffered due to the
detrimental effects of oily industrial effluents. Natural fibers have gained popularity for their …

The reuse of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated during oil extraction is
becoming essential due to oil extraction efficiency and stringent environmental regulations …

Cross fibers at different angles are essential for enhancing the separation of emulsions as
the basic structure in fiber fillers. In this article, the retention and detachment process of …

In this work, a new physical method was used to process agro-waste pineapple leaf fibres
(PALF) instead of any chemical treatment for fabricating polypropylene (PP) matrix …
