Janus membrane is an emerging separation material due to its unique separation
performance. The asymmetric surface wettability on its two surfaces is crucial for a Janus …

Oily wastewater poses a severe threat to the environment and human health, and its
disposition is a worldwide urgency. Rencently, Janus membranes has provided excellent …

Traditional oil–water separation membranes have a high energy consumption and
complicated operation. To solve this problem, an asymmetric wetting polyvinylidene fluoride …

Electrocoalescence has been extensively used to remove water droplets in water-in-oil
emulsions. Pulsed direct current (DC) electric fields were found to be more effective than DC …

The electrocoalescence of a water drop at the water/oil interface in the presence of
externally direct current electric fields was numerically analyzed with the finite element …

Electrical dehydrators are often used to separate water from oil emulsions. However, the
frequency and electric field strength are fixed during separation and cannot change with the …

Deformation and coalescence behaviors of water droplets in viscous fluid under a direct
current electric field are investigated with experiments and numerical simulations. An electro …

Electric field assisted coalescence is one of the most efficient methods for water-in-oil
emulsion separation. In this paper, we experimentally study water droplet evolution in an oil …

Electrocoalescence is an energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly process for
demulsifying water-in-oil emulsions, which has been extensively used in the oil and …

The deformation of a water droplet in a dielectric oil phase in the presence of externally
pulsatile electric fields is numerically analysed with the finite element method. The …
