Reviewer 2 Report

 

Manuscript: Evaluation of electrospun self-supporting paper-like fibrous membranes as oil sorbents

Manuscript presents good research work related to water purification by using natural fibers. It is recommended for publication after following minor changes.

  • Abstract should contain some quantitative information also.
  • English must be improved.
  • Novelty of the work be established.
  • All the results reported be compared in a tabular form to establish the superiority of the work.
  • Authors must need to incorporate some recent references related to use of natural fibers for water purification in the introduction part of the manuscript to make it more interesting for the readers. For example;

 Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology 6 (11), 3080-3090

Advanced Sustainable Systems, 1900114

RSC advances 9 (69), 40565-40576

            ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering 6 (3), 3279-3290

         Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research 56 (46), 13885-13893

 

  • Authors must need to incorporate future prospective of the presented work in the conclusion part of the manuscript.
