Crude oil provides a significant contribution to a country's economy, resulting in a diverse
range of petroleum products that can be used to create significant income. However, the …

Oil and grease (O&G) is a class of pollutants with very low affinity to water. Their removal
from wastewaters is often challenging and involves the combination of different treatment …

The severe environmental and ecological problems, derived from oil spills and organic
solvents leakage, have occurred in many parts of the world. It is urgent to seek appropriate …

Oil spills and the emission of oily wastewater have triggered serious water pollution and
environment problems. Effectively separating oil and water is a world-wide challenge and …

The present study describes the influence of the concentration of lignin when used as a filler
in polyurethane foam for crude oil sorption. The foams (lignin 0–20 wt%) were characterized …

The production of petroleum involves significant water usage and generates substantial
volumes of wastewater containing oil, grease, suspended particles, hydrocarbons, heavy …

Polymeric foams are porous, lightweight, and low-cost materials. Traditionally, polymeric
foams have been used in home appliances, automotive, construction, transportation, and …

In this study, a novel superhydrophobic and superoleophilic polystyrene/carbon nanotubes
foam (PCF) for oil/water separation was fabricated via a facile two-step strategy. The …
