Smart membranes for oil/water emulsions separation: A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oily wastewater poses a significant impact on both environments and human societies. Especially, the treatment of oil/water emulsions for separating oil from water is challenging due to high stability emulsions. Smart membranes, known as stimuli-responsive are one emerging technologies that have been paid wide attention in recent years. membranes possess unique features switchable wettability between hydrophilicity hydrophobicity after being triggered by external stimuli desired anti-fouling properties. This review summarizes development smart separation during past five years (2018 – present). It was found solvent most popular type separation. For multi-stimuli-responsive can respond more than stimulus, future research should focus developing appropriate fabrication strategies increase performances membranes. Additionally, surface coating, grafting, copolymer blending methods fabrication. However, these might not be universally applicable different types

Smart surfaces with switchable superoleophilicity and superoleophobicity in aqueous media: toward controllable oilwater separation
Advanced materials with surfaces that have controllable oil wettability when submerged in aqueous media have great potential for various underwater applications. Here we have developed smart surfaces on commonly used materials, including non-woven textiles and polyurethane sponges, which are able to switch between superoleophilicity and superoleophobicity in aqueous media. The smart surfaces ar...

متن کاملA Review of Electrospun Nanofber Membranes
Electrospun nanofber membranes (ENMs) are new generation of membranes with many favorable properties such as high flux and low pressure drop. Although electrospinning has been known for more than a century, its applications in fltration and separation processes are relatively new. Electrospinning has provided the means to produce ultrathin fbers – as thin as a few nanome...
