A novel alternative to free oil remediation and recovery: Foamy absorbents designed from low molecular paraffinic waste
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This study focuses on preparing porous, hydrophobic, and oleophilic hydrocarbon-based foams applicable for removing free oils from water surfaces. Paraffinic waste material generated during industrial production of low-density ... -
Eco-friendly foam biocomposites based on cellulose extracted from date palm leaves and low-density polyethylene
( Web Portal IOP , 2020 , Article)The design of composite materials using environmentally compatible materials and adopting sustainable preparation techniques is very necessary for a better environment. The present study is a step towards developing an ... -
Foamed phase change materials based on recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax blends
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Foamed phase-change materials (FPCMs) were prepared using recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (PW) and foamed by 1,1′-azobiscarbamide. The protection of pores’ collapse ... -
Foamy phase change materials based on linear low-density polyethylene and paraffin wax blends
( Springer Nature , 2018 , Article)Foamy phase-change materials (FPCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (W) were successfully prepared for the first time. The advantage of these materials is their double ... -
Recent developments and advancements in graphene-based technologies for oil spill cleanup and oil-water separation processes
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)The vast demand for petroleum industry products led to the increased production of oily wastewaters and has led to many possible separation technologies. In addition to production-related oily wastewater, direct oil spills ... -
The separation of oil/water mixtures by modified melamine and polyurethane foams: A review
( MDPI , 2021 , Article Review)Melamine (MA) and polyurethane (PU) foams, including both commercial sponges for daily use as well as newly synthesized foams are known for their high sorption ability of both polar and unipolar liquids. From this reason, ...
