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

Oil spill accidents and oily wastewater discharged by petrochemical industries have
severely wasted water resources and damaged the environment. The use of special wetting …

In this study, the recent advances in standalone membrane technologies were investigated
for produced water treatment and reclamation. The effect of operating parameters (ie …

Oil and water separation technology has been continuously progressing throughout the
years. Recently, gravity-assisted filtration has gained considerable attention, although most …

A hierarchically structured membrane was fabricated for oil/water separation by effectively
depositing ZnO nanoparticles on a glass fiber (GF) membrane. Simple potassium …

Qatar is one of the major natural gas (NG) producing countries, which has the world's third-
largest NG reserves besides the largest supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Since the …

The surface chemical composition and building unit structures of membrane are the key
factors to realize highly-efficient oil–water separation. Here we report the synthesis of Cu …

Produced water (PW) is the water associated with hydrocarbons during the extraction of oil
and gas (O&G) from either conventional or unconventional resources. Existing efforts to …

Ultrafast oil/water separation based on tunable superwettability switch remains a big
challenge. Here, inspired by the ultrafast water transport mechanism in sarracenia, we …

Surfaces with underwater superoleophobicity are critical for gravity-driven oil/water
separation. Here, superwetting copper mesh membranes covered by ZnO nanostructures …
