Validation and application of a membrane filtration evaluation protocol for oil-water separation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Membrane filtration processes like microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) are proven to be effective in industrial wastewater treatment, including oil-water separation, as they generate suitable quality permeate for ...
Foamed phase change materials based on recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax blends
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Foamed phase-change materials (FPCMs) were prepared using recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (PW) and foamed by 1,1′-azobiscarbamide. The protection of pores’ collapse ...
A facile energy-efficient approach to prepare super oil-sorbent thin films
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
Oil spills on water surface and shoreline have caused significant water pollution, and one of the ways to deal with them is to use oil sorbents. An effective sorbent provides high oil uptake and retention values, high ...
Some theoretical aspects of tertiary treatment of water/oil emulsions by adsorption and coalescence mechanisms: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article Review)
The massive increase in the volumes of oily contaminated produced waters associated with various industrial sectors has initiated considerable technological and scientific efforts related to the development of new cleaning ...
Plasticizer enhancement on the miscibility and thermomechanical properties of polylactic acid-chitin-starch composites
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In previous research, a polylactic chitin starch composite was prepared without the use of a solvent to enhance the miscibility. In this study, a polylactic acid (PLA) chitin starch composite was produced with chloroform ...
