Wastewater from many industries, restaurants, and households, contains stable oil-water emulsions that are challenging to break apart. Membranes can do this separation without using chemicals or large ...

Named after the two-faced Roman god Janus to reflect its dual-purpose design, researchers present a novel membrane system – a Janus channel of membranes (JCM) – capable of simultaneously separating ...

The demulsification of crude oil emulsions, particularly water-in-oil (W/O) types, remains a critical process in petroleum production. Recent advancements have focused on developing efficient, ...

A team of chemists and engineers in China has developed a new, efficient way to separate oil and water mixtures. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes how they developed ...

Sugarcane runoff offers dual benefits for oil recovery, supplying low-salinity water and reducing environmental impacts from ...
