Clays and clay minerals are inexpensive, non-toxic, and naturally occurring minerals that
have been utilized in water remediation as adsorbents. However, clays and clay minerals …

Aerogels are an exceptional class of porous material with a number of excellent
physicochemical properties such as low density, high porosity, high surface area and …

In this study, low-cost, environmentally friendly and porous agar/PVA aerogel sorbent
materials with highly hydrophobic property were fabricated for the selective separation of …

To deal with the frequent oil-spillage, various sorbents were developed, however, the poor
oil/water selectivity and expensive hydrophobic coatings limit widespread. Further, the rise …

Absorption is one of the most important methods for oil spill cleanup. An ideal absorbent is
expected to possess advantages of low cost, green, high absorption capacity and excellent …

Different porous structures of biomass-based aerogels were regulated by adjusting the
ratios of carboxymethyl chitosan (CCS) and montmorillonite (Mt). The hierarchically porous …

Montmorillonite (MMT) aerogels with many excellent physicochemical properties of low
density, high surface area, thermal stability and adjustable surface chemistry have been …

The fabrication of the materials with special wettability being capable of removing oil layer
on water surface and oil droplets in oil-in-water emulsion is an important issue for water …

Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic sponge was prepared by facile dip coating in a
stearic acid (SA) solution and subsequent heat treatment. The obtained sponge exhibits …

This paper is concerned with the design of the electrospinning process to produce efficient
polysulfone fibrous sorbents for oil spill cleanup. To this end, a full factorial experimental …
