Designing Flexible and Porous Fibrous Membranes for Oil Water Separation-A Review of Recent Developments
( Bellwether Publishing, Ltd. , 2020 , Article Review)Oil sorbent membranes are highly effective materials in combating oil spills. Recent technological advancements in membrane preparations permit higher oil-sorption efficiency and easier oil recoverability. This review ... -
In situ synthesized amphiphilic polysulfone-poly(ethylene-glycol) block copolymer/silver nanocomposite for separating oil/water emulsion
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2022 , Article)This work reports the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the precursors, silver nitrate and sodium bromide, and the in situ synthesis of polysulfone (PSf)-poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG) block copolymer (BCP) in the presence ... -
Materials and technologies for the tertiary treatment of produced water contaminated by oil impurities through nonfibrous deep-bed media: A review
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)This review covers various aspects of the treatment of emulsified oil/water mixtures and is particularly focused on tertiary treatment, which means the reduction of the oil content from 70-100 ppm to below 10 ppm, depending ... -
Mesoporous silica filled smart super oleophilic fibers of triblock copolymer nanocomposites for oil absorption applications
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)Super oleophilic fibers of styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer/mesoporous silica (MS) nanocomposites are fabricated by electrospinning, and their oil absorption efficiency is monitored by following two different ... -
Vertically oriented nanoporous block copolymer membranes for oil/water separation and filtration
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)The separation of oil from water and filtration of aqueous solutions and dispersions are critical issues in the processing of waste and contaminated water treatment. Membrane-based technology has been proven as an effective ... -
White graphene-cobalt oxide hybrid filler reinforced polystyrene nanofibers for selective oil absorption
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)In this work, stable hydrophobic nanocomposites are made from electrospun fibers of polystyrene (PS) containing a hybrid filler combination of (i) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and (ii) cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanomaterials. ...
