Designing carbon nanotube-based oil absorbing membranes from gamma irradiated and electrospun polystyrene nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Carbon-based materials are outstanding candidates for oil spill clean-ups due to their superhydrophobicity, high surface area, chemical inertness, low density, recyclability, and selectivity. The current work deals with ...
Vertically oriented nanoporous block copolymer membranes for oil/water separation and filtration
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
The separation of oil from water and filtration of aqueous solutions and dispersions are critical issues in the processing of waste and contaminated water treatment. Membrane-based technology has been proven as an effective ...

(
Bellwether Publishing, Ltd.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Oil sorbent membranes are highly effective materials in combating oil spills. Recent technological advancements in membrane preparations permit higher oil-sorption efficiency and easier oil recoverability. This review ...
White graphene-cobalt oxide hybrid filler reinforced polystyrene nanofibers for selective oil absorption
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this work, stable hydrophobic nanocomposites are made from electrospun fibers of polystyrene (PS) containing a hybrid filler combination of (i) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and (ii) cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanomaterials. ...
Mesoporous silica filled smart super oleophilic fibers of triblock copolymer nanocomposites for oil absorption applications
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Super oleophilic fibers of styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer/mesoporous silica (MS) nanocomposites are fabricated by electrospinning, and their oil absorption efficiency is monitored by following two different ...
Multifunctional Oil Absorption with Macroporous Polystyrene Fibers Incorporating Silver-Doped ZnO
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Hydrophobic microporous polystyrene (PS) fibers are fabricated by a solvent-induced phase-separation-assisted electrospinning method. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver-doped zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) nanomaterials with variable ...
Protocol for Preparing Synthetic Solutions Mimicking Produced Water from Oil and Gas Operations
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
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 enhance PW management systems include the ...
