To address the issue of membrane fouling and low separation efficiency of ceramic
membrane (CM) commonly encountered in oil/water separation, the implementation of a …

Developing materials with low cost, simple preparation process and versatility remains a
challenge to solve the problems of marine oil spills and organic dye pollution. In this work …

Sponges have been widely studied as common adsorbent materials. There is little research
on sponges that can be used for comprehensive treatment of oil-water mixtures, emulsions …

Intelligent oil–water separation materials with stimulating response have received extensive
attention. In this paper, a novel, cost-effective, and simple approach is developed to produce …

Tight oil extraction and offshore oil spills generate large amounts of oil–water emulsions,
causing serious soil and marine pollution. In such oil–water emulsions, the resin molecules …

The separation and purification of complex and stable stubborn oily sewage is extremely
challenging. To respond to this challenge, we developed a powerful flexible filter with …

Marine oil spills pose a serious threat to the marine ecological environment. Phase-selective
organogelators (PSOGs) are ideal candidates for oil spill gelation when used in combination …

Biodegradation is one of the safest and most economical methods for the elimination of toxic
chlorophenols and crude oil from the environment. In this study, aerobic degradation of the …

Chitinases, enzymes that degrade chitin, have long been studied for their role in various
biological processes. They play crucial roles in the moulting process of invertebrates, the …

Hydrophobic sponges have attracted significant interest in oil spills and water–oil separation
as potential absorption materials due to their desirable absorptivity, selectivity, and elasticity …
