Membrane separation is known as an efficient technique for the oily wastewater treatment. Therefore, in the present study, sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was introduced into the polysulfone (PSF) solution in order to enhance the hydrophilicity and the membrane structure for the oil–water separation. The hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via a phase-inversion process. The memb...

The effective use of aqueous and oily pilocarpine was studied in 19 glaucomatous eyes. The aqueous drops were used 4 times a day while the oily drops were used only twice. It was found that the oily drops were better than the aqueous drops in lowering the mean intraocular pressure and the maximum pressure reached during the day. no statistically significant difference was found between the 2 pi...

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that docetaxel [Doc] containing oily core nanocapsules [NCs] could be successfully prepared with a high percentage encapsulation efficiency [EE%] and high drug loading. The oily core NCs were generated according to the emulsion solvent diffusion method using neutral Labrafac CC and poly(d, l-lactide) [PLA] as oily core and shell, respectively. The e...

A wide range of studies has been carried out to describe the equilibrium data adsorption for surface process. However, no extensive investigation evaluate oil sludge based activated carbon adsorption. Therefore, possibility active production using different sludges and consequently mechanism these kind adsorbents is still unknown. In this study, a novel low-cost approach was introduced synthesi...

The sustainable development of oil–gas and petrochemical industries necessitates the cost-effective eco-friendly technologies to treat mass-produced oily wastewater discharge from these industries. This study applied a simple radical polymerization enhance oil adsorption efficiency agricultural waste biomass wheat straw (WS) by grafting biocompatible poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Diesel oil...

Sand, an abundant resource from the nature, is a promising candidate for oil/water separation. Herein, raw sand was designed with switchable surface wettability to enable recyclability and versatility in practical The “smart” fabricated by grafting pH-responsive poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) oleophilic/hydrophobic octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTS) onto its surface. decorated can be used as oil sor...
