Underwater superoleophobic cement-alumina coated meshes for oil/water and emulsion separation

Maohui Li et al.

Summary: A novel cement-alumina coated stainless steel mesh (CA@SSM) with superhydrophilic-underwater superoleophobic properties was developed, which exhibited high efficiency in separating various oils from water. The CA@SSM also showed excellent tolerance to boiling, saline, and alkaline water, and had great performance in separating oil/water mixtures under coarse conditions. Additionally, the CA@SSM demonstrated remarkable capability in separating different oil-in-water emulsions. It is anticipated that the use of CA@SSM can be beneficial in treating oily wastewater and oil leakage.

Enhancement of super-hydrophilic/underwater super-oleophobic performance of ceramic membrane with TiO 2 nanowire array prepared via low temperature oxidation

Yuanhui Gao et al.

Summary: A gradient porous ceramic membrane with surface super-hydrophilic and underwater super-oleophobic performance was prepared using hydrogel directional freezing method and low temperature oxidation process. The membrane's pore size gradually changed from 0.5 μm to 25 μm, and the super-hydrophilic and underwater super-oleophobic performance was achieved through surface modification with TiO2 nanowire array.
