Spilled oil in ocean can spread to the shoreline and cause long-term impacts on the shoreline's ecological environment. Therefore, removing oil accumulated on shorelines is crucial. This study proposed an innovative ovalbumin (OVA) fluid-assisted method for the cleanup of oiled shoreline substrates. The oil removal efficiency of OVA fluids was systema ...

The issue of inland oil spills exerts an adverse impact on environmental and ecological health. Many cases are concerned with water-in-oil emulsions, especially in the oil production and transport system. To understand the contamination and take an efficient response work after spill, this study investigated the infiltration behavior of water-in-oil emuls ...

Oil pollution is one of the major environmental concerns in the petroleum industry. In this study, a cheap food-grade sodium caseinate (NaCas) was used as a pH-responsive washing fluid in the remediation of phenanthrene (PHE) affected peat moss. The effects of environmental factors on the removal of PHE were systematically investigated. The results showed ...

Oil spills are significant environmental accidents that have significant impacts on environmental and ecological health. Spill pollution in the cold regions may pose a particular challenge. To achieve a fast response, the oil transport mode such as penetration should be well understood. In this study, the oil penetration behavior in thawing frozen soil at ...

With the increase in global population, industrialization, and urbanization, waste from construction, renovation, and demolition (CRD) activities has grown rapidly. There are some issues associated with the disposal of CRD waste in landfills. Depositing in landfills is still the main method for CRD waste disposal from the global perspective. The objective ...

Oil spills may affect ecosystems and endanger public health. In this study, we developed a novel and dual responsive nanoclay/sodium alginate (NS) washing fluid, and systematically evaluated its application potential in oiled shoreline cleanup. The characterization results demonstrated that sodium alginate combined with nanoclay via hydrogen bonds, and wa ...

Due to the great fouling resistance property, (super)hydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic membranes are prevalent candidates for oil-polluted wastewater treatment. Even so, membrane fouling inevitably occurs during long-term operation. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct anti-fouling membranes with robust flux recovery. Herein, a polyvin ...

Membrane fouling is an ongoing challenge in the membrane filtration process. Herein, a photocatalytic membrane comprising a reactive layer was fabricated by engineering partially reduced graphene oxide/Ag nanoparticles/MIL-88A (prGO/Ag/M88A, pGAM) photocatalysts on the PVDF substrate membranes. Benefiting from the high conductivity of prGO and the surface ...
