Volumes of oily wastewater are inevitably generated by every walk of life. The removal of oil
particles from oil-contaminated wastewater which is characterized as huge amounts …

Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic (SHSO) membranes have gained remarkable
attention, particularly in selective and efficient oil-water separation applications. This paper …

Traditional membranes for oil/water separation are subjected to the severe mutual constraint
between selectivity and permeability. Fabricating membranes with extremely high …

Liquid–liquid systems play an important role in several industrial processes. Their
separation efficiency determines the product purity and yield to a great extent. In recent …

The conventional petroleum refinery wastewater pretreatment process, usually consisting of
an American Petroleum Institute (API) separator and air flotation tank, mainly achieves …

Wastewater in petrochemical processes and produced water from oil and gas production
remain a challenge for the industry to minimize their impact on the environment. Recent …

Oily wastewater treatment is necessary to reduce environmental pollution. Herein, a
coagulation-ultrafiltration integrated process was used to remove emulsified oil. AlCl 3, FeCl …

To achieve effective oil/water separation, one-step facile fabricated hydrophobic SiO2
coated super-hydrophobic/super-oleophilic mesh (FSSM) via an improved Stöber method …

The oil/water separation has received significant attention due to its critical environmental
impact. The special wettable surfaces are highly desired to deal with the oil/water mixtures …

The frequent occurrence of crude oil spills and the indiscriminate discharge of oily
wastewater have caused serious environmental pollution. The existing separation methods …
