To mitigate the damage of oil spills, a filter modified with a hydrophilic and oleophobic coating is proposed for affordable and efficient oil separation and recovery from water. The sol–gel method was chosen to produce a colloidal suspension o...

To mitigate the environmental effects of oil spills, a novel hydrophilic–oleophobic mixed-coated filter was developed for efficient oil–water separation and surface oil recovery. The coating consisted of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Ti...

Oil spill accidents have been a prevalent threat to the environment. To aid in clean-up efforts, a stainless-steel filter with a hydrophilic and oleophobic coating was fabricated for efficient and affordable oil/water separation. Two solutions were u...

Separating oil-water mixtures is critical in a variety of practical applications, including the treatment of industrial wastewater, oil spill cleanups, as well as the purification of petroleum products. Among various methodologies that have been util...

In this current study, facile, one-pot synthesis of functionalised nanocomposite coating with simultaneous hydrophilic and oleophobic properties was successfully achieved via the sol–gel technique. The synthesis of this nanocomposite coating ai...

Due to the increasingly serious problem of offshore oil spills, research related to oil–water separation has attracted more and more attention. Here, we prepared a super-hydrophilic/underwater super-oleophobic membrane (hereinafter referred to...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of cold plasma polymerization as a simple, fast and versatile technique for deposition of protective hydrophobic and oleophobic polymer layers on hydrophilic biopolymer aerogels. Polymerization of di...

Purpose: Copolyamide 6,10 (coPA) electrospun mats were covered with multilayered (ML) and single-layered (SL) MXene (Ti3C2Tx) as a membrane for the separation of water/vegetable oil emulsions. Methods: Prepared membranes were characterized by atomic...

The separation of high-viscosity oil–water emulsions remains a global challenge due to ultra-stable interfaces and severe membrane fouling. In this paper, SiO2 micro–nanoparticles coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) were initially loaded...

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a widely used inorganic powder, but its industrial applications are limited by its hydrophilicity and oleophobicity. Surface modification of CaCO3 can improve its dispersion and stability in organic materials and further...

Presently, the separation of oil and water through functional membranes inevitably entails either inefficient gravity-driven processes or energy-intensive vacuum pressure mechanisms. This study introduces an innovative photothermal evaporator that us...
