Here, a robust antifouling NH 2-MIL-88B coated quartz fibrous membrane (NM88B@ QFM)
was developed for efficient oil-water emulsion separation via a one-step solvothermal …

Special wetting materials have been used for the oil and water separation due to their
different interfacial attraction of oil and water. Herein, we successfully fabricated …

Traditional membrane-based separation methods are limited by the inability of a single
membrane to separate both oil/water and oil/oil mixtures. Herein, to address this challenge …

Solute purification, solvent recovery, solvent separation in organic solvents are more and
more widely used in the chemical industries, pharmaceuticals and food processing. Fast and …
