Organogelators and hydrogelators which belong to low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) have attracted considerable attention due to various practical applications. Whether organogelators or hydrogelators, they can congeal single oil or water phase. However, gelators capable of gelation at oil/water interface have thus far remained unexplored. Herein, we report a class of surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) based on dimethylcyclohexylamine and fatty acids. They can form high-strength gels at the oil/water interface instead of in single oil or water phase. These molecules spontaneously aggregate at oil/water interface, and then self-assemble into lamellar liquid crystalline structure, as evident from POM and SAXS analysis. Rheology analysis shows that these gels are of very high viscosity, strength and stability. These unique characters make these SAILs can effectively block the oil–water interface, which has potential application in oilfield development or oil leaks from underwater tubes.

Industrial sewage containing oil and dye has already aroused the concerns of cosmopolites. Nowadays, membrane technology is regarded as the spotlight and highly-efficient treatment for various wastewater from human activities . Massive efforts have been put into newly synthesis of low-cost, eco-friendly, low energy consumption, reusable and robust Co-Al-Ce LDHs coated stainless steel mesh (SSM) for wastewater treatment . The CoAlCe-LDHs SSM was fabricated by facile hydrothermal method successfully. While the pristine SSM didn't exhibit selective wettability with water contact angle (WCA) of 114.5°, the novel CoAlCe-LDHs SSM possessed superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic property with underwater oil contact angle (UOCA) of 158.5°. The CoAlCe-LDHs SSM was compatibly applied to the separation of oil/water mixtures with highly separation efficiency above 99.5% and ultrafast water flux of 52.2 L·m −2 ·s −1 under gravity. The easily-fabricated CoAlCe-LDHs SSM was qualified with recyclable, stable and anti-fouling properties, which stayed effective for the separation of oil/water mixtures under at least 30 times recycle and harsh conditions. Moreover, the bifunctional CoAlCe-LDHs SSM also showed excellent photocatalytic activity of dye degradation (with 94.2% degradation of methyl orange solution within 160 min), which can be beneficial to sewage treatment .

Molybdenite and bismuthinite are valuable components arising from Mo–Bi sulfide ore, and their recoveries are considerably limited by separation efficiency. Herein, calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO) 2 ) was first introduced as bismuth depressant for efficient separation of molybdenite and bismuthinite, and its depression mechanisms were investigated through a series of analytical techniques supplemented with solution chemistry and thermodynamic calculations. Flotation results showed that Ca(ClO) 2 had a stronger depressing ability than conventional depressant sodium sulfide and exhibited superior selectivity for bismuthinite against molybdenite. At pH around 8.0, the high-selective separation of Mo–Bi bulk concentrate was realized, where more than 96% of molybdenite was recovered and over 98% of bismuthinite was depressed. Solution chemistry and thermodynamic analysis indicated that the bismuthinite surface was preferentially oxidized by Ca(ClO) 2 to SO2- 4 and Bi 3+ . The former dissolved into solution and existed as stable ions, whereas the Bi 3+ further interacted with Cl − and was hydrolyzed as BiOCl precipitates. Surface analysis demonstrated that the deposition of BiOCl on the bismuthinite surface not only made its surface rougher but also enhanced its surface hydrophilicity. In comparison, the surface of molybdenite was slightly oxidized and it remained hydrophobic as confirmed from scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle results. The difference in surface characteristics resulted in the selective adsorption of collector on the surface of molybdenite rather than that of bismuthinite, thus improving the floatability of molybdenite and drastically deteriorating the floatability of bismuthinite. This work suggests that Ca(ClO) 2 could be a promising depressant for bismuthinite in the flotation separation of Mo–Bi sulfide ore.

Fluidized-bed flotation is a novel process with combined features of flotation and density separation. The application of fluidized-bed flotation in grinding circuit to reject coarse gangues for sulfide ores has been increasingly attracting attentions. Previous studies have focused on the effect of mineral liberation on coarse particle separation. Little work has yet been conducted to simultaneously investigate the effect of mineral liberation, particle and bubble sizes on the fluidized-bed flotation efficiency. The lack of this work has hindered the process optimization to some extent. In this study, three sizes of bubbles (498 μm, 1200 μm, 1952 μm) were generated to separate molybdenite ores under three particle size fractions (150–450 μm, 450–700 μm and 700–1000 μm) in a fluidized-bed flotation column (80 mm in diameter). For the 150–450 μm and 450–700 μm particles, small bubbles of 498 μm could achieve separation by effectively reducing the particle density. For the 700–1000 μm particles with greater mass, intermediate bubble of 1200 μm was required to reduce the particle density for separation. No separation was observed for the three particle size classes with the oversized bubbles of 1952 μm due to high bubble detachment probability. It was concluded that fluidized-bed flotation is a consequence of matched bubble and particle sizes affected by the exposure rate of hydrophobic mineral and its distributing discreteness, the underlying mechanism for which was discussed. It is believed that the outcomes of this work could facilitate the optimization of fluidized-bed flotation in coarse gangue rejecting for sulfide ores.

A cellulose aerogel with very low overall density is fabricated by freeze-drying aqueous cellulose solution. A hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel is further fabricated by coating the cellulose aerogel with hexyltrimethoxysilane-modified SiO 2 nanoparticles. The features of the developed hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel are characterized with density and porosity measurement, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle measurement. Finally, the oil absorption performance of the developed hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel is investigated. The results show that SiO 2 nanoparticles have been successfully loaded on the surface of the aerogel backbone after fulfillment of fabrication, and the surface of the aerogel turns to be hydrophobic/oleophilic (water contact angle 131° and oil contact angle 0°). The oil absorption experiment results show that the absorption capacity for organic solvents is from 10 to 21 times the initial aerogel weight, depending on the density of the absorbed organic solvents. In addition, the aerogel still maintains good stability in high temperature, strong acid or strong base conditions. Furthermore, the aerogel also shows good performance in separating oil from oil–water mixtures. This hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel can be a promising choice for remedying water pollution caused by oil contamination.

In this work, we fabricated a multifunctional membrane by in-situ growth of tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin-doped UiO-66-NH 2 on stainless steel mesh (SSM), denoted as TCPP/UiO@SSM, for gravity-driven oil–water/seawater mixtures separation and visible-light-driven bacterial inactivation. The as-prepared membrane exhibited high permeation flux (up to 46312 ± 1583 L m −2 h −1 ) as well as separation efficiency (above 98%) towards various oil–water/seawater mixtures separation, which resulted from the rough hierarchical structure and the inherent super-wettability. In particular, the membrane can effectively deal with viscous oil fouling to achieve a desired flux recovery ratio (FRR) after separating crude oil from water, attributing to the self-cleaning property originated from the photo-active TCPP/UiO. Furthermore, the as-fabricated TCPP/UiO@SSM has the ability to efficiently inactivate typical Gram bacteria (6 log units) in water under visible light . Both the oil–water separation and photocatalytic sterilization performances of TCPP/UiO@SSM are superior to UiO@SSM. The doping of photosensitive TCPP in UiO-66-NH 2 not only improved the hydrophilicity, but also enhanced the photocatalytic activity by creating a Z-scheme heterojunction to promote the separation of charge carriers and amplify the photothermal effect. This work provides a new platform for water disinfection and the treatment of oily wastewater containing viscous oil phase based on UiO metal–organic framework.

Highly selective extraction of Pd from leaching liquor of spent auto-catalysts is a research hotspot in recent years. In this study, three novel octanethioic acid alkyl amide extractants (alkyl = butyl TA-804, hexyl TA-806 and 2-ethylhexyl TA-826) were designed, synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, FT-IR and ESI-HRMS. The effect of contact time, extractant concentration, HCl concentration and diluents on Pd selective extraction and separation by these three extractants were investigated. The stripping behaviors of the loaded Pd in the organic phase were examined. The McCabe-Thiele diagrams of Pd extraction and stripping were drawn. The extraction mechanism was studied through methods of stoichiometry calculation, slope analysis, FT-IR and ESI-HRMS. In the end, the Pd separation from simulated leaching liquor of spent auto-catalysts by TA-804, TA-806 and TA-826 was carried out. The results show TA-826 has much slow Pd extraction kinetics than TA-804 and TA-806. They all have highly efficient extraction and separation performance for Pd from chloride media at acidities of [HCl] ≤ 3 mol/L. When the HCl concentration is ≥4 mol/L, Fe and Pt begin to be extracted. At any acidities, Rh, Zn, Al, La, Zr, Co, Cu, Ni, Ce and Mg are not extracted. The studied octanethioic acid alkyl amides extract Pd from chloride media via complexation mechanism. Two extractant molecules quantitatively extract one Pd. The loaded Pd are easily and efficiently stripped by thiourea. They can efficiently extract and highly separate Pd from leaching liquor of spent auto-catalysts at acidity of 3 mol/L HCl.

Graphical An efficient and durable hydrophilic SiO 2 fiber membrane was designed by a template-free strategy combined with electrostatic spinning technology. The material can perform separation of oily wastewater under gravity-only conditions and has demonstrated high separation performance for effective separation of oil-water mixtures and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. The discharge of oily wastewater seriously affects human health and the sustainable development of the ecological environment. Therefore, developing oil-water separation materials capable of removing organic pollutants is imperative. In this study, we report the preparation of a SiO 2 nanofiber membrane based on tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) using a template-free strategy combined with electrostatic spinning technology. The prepared SiO 2 nanofiber membrane was characterized using SEM, EDX, FT-IR, AFM, XRD, CA, and TG techniques. The prepared SiO 2 nanofiber membranes exhibit excellent hydrophilicity (WCA=0°) in air and oleophobicity (UWOCA=136°) underwater, with excellent anti-pollution properties for gravity-driven oil-water separation. The SiO 2 nanofiber membrane can effectively separate different kinds of oil-water mixtures with high water flux (4420 L m −2 h −1 ) and excellent separation efficiency (99.1 %), with a flux loss of 5.65 % after ten cycles, indicating excellent cycling stability. In addition, it can also be used to separate various oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by surfactants with a separation flux higher than 2079 L m −2 h −1 and a separation efficiency maintained at more than 97 %. During the separation of 150 mL lotion, the membrane was seriously scaled due to long-term pollution. Simple water washing could not restore the membrane flux, and the irreversible scaling rate was 50.74 %, which seriously affected the continuous separation. However, due to the excellent thermal stability of SiO 2 nanofiber membranes, oil contaminated membranes can be heated and regenerated, resulting in a flux recovery rate of nearly 100 %. Overall, this material has a wide range of potential applications in environmental protection, especially in the treatment of oily wastewater, due to its simple fabrication method, high flux, and superb oil resistance and recyclability.

In many regions, even if waste vegetable oil is used as raw material, the profits of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester, FAME) enterprises still remain restricted, and they are facing environmental problems caused by the by-product glycerol. Hence, value-added utilization of FAME and glycerol is a promising alternative to improve the competitiveness of biodiesel enterprises in the economy and environmental protection. In this paper, FAME and glycerol were utilized to prepare epoxidized acyl glycerides by transesterification and epoxidation. In the transesterification, acyl glycerides were prepared by reacting FAME and glycerol catalyzed by K 2 CO 3 . The contents of monoacyl glyceride, diacyl glyceride, and triacyl glyceride in the acyl glycerides were about 50%, 40%, and 10%, and the optimal conditions were a temperature of 200°C and the molar ratio of FAME to glycerol of 1:1. In the epoxidation, selectivity of epoxides was significantly affected by monoacyl glyceride content, and a treatment method was developed to control the monoacyl glyceride content <5%. In addition, the plasticity of epoxidized acyl glycerides to partially substitute dioctyl phthalate in polyvinyl chloride was studied, the overall mechanical properties, thermal stability, and extraction resistance were improved. In this work, FAME and glycerol were utilized to prepare epoxidized acyl glycerides with higher value-added, which provide a potential solution for improving the market competitiveness of biodiesel enterprises.

Significant progress has been made in the development of membranes characterized by high permeation flux, special wettability, selectivity, and stability during oily wastewater separation. However, more research is needed in multitasking membranes. Herein, we introduce a facile strategy of fabricating a superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic agave-angustifolia-like Cu3Mo2O9 nanoplate-coated copper mesh membrane via subsequent chemical oxidation, hydrothermal deposition, and calcination methods. The synergistic effect of the hierarchical structure and photocatalytic activity of the Cu3Mo2O9 coating endowed the as-fabricated membrane with superwettability and self-cleaning ability, resulting in high permeation flux (up to 3503.18 L·m–2·h–1 for surfactant-free emulsions and 917.20 L·m–2·h–1 for surfactant-stabilized emulsions) and low oil residues in the filtrate (COD value of 11.4 mg L–1 for surfactant-free emulsions and 86.8 mg L–1 for surfactant-stabilized emulsions) during oil-in-water emulsion separation, as well as photocatalytic dye degradation capabilities for methylene blue (92.4%) and rhodamine B (68.6%). Furthermore, the as-fabricated membrane exhibited favorable chemical stability and abrasive resistance. The strategy presented in this work provided a method to produce a durable membrane for efficient oil–water separation with photocatalytic properties and can withstand harsh environments.

Effective synchronous removal of water-immiscible oils and water-miscible refractory aromatic pollutants from wastewater is of great significance for water remediation. In this work, a low-cost and easy-prepared composite membrane was fabricated by vacuum assisted assembling of CoFe 2 O 4 and tannic acid on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrate. The CoFe 2 O 4 functionalized PVDF membrane (CoFe 2 O 4 @PVDF) exhibited in-air superamphiphilic and underwater superoleophobic surface wettability. The resultant membrane displayed relatively favorable permeation flux (811.5 to 1837.5 Lm −2 h −1 ) and high separation efficiency (above 99 %) in the separation of a series of emulsified oils ranged from nanoscale to microscale from water. Meanwhile, the as-fabricated CoFe 2 O 4 @PVDF membrane coupled with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) exhibited an extensive oxidizing capacity and high degradation efficiency towards aromatic contaminants with desired mineralization ability. More importantly, considering that the fabricated CoFe 2 O 4 @PVDF membrane possessed special super-wettability as well as PMS activation-based catalytic ability, it also applied in the treatment of simulated complex wastewater. The process achieved effectively synchronous oil/water separation and PMS activation toward pollutants degradation. Besides, in five cyclic continuous “degradation-separation” tests, the recovered CoFe 2 O 4 @PVDF membrane after PMS-based degradation in each cycle could separate oil/water emulsions as usual. It exhibited almost complete oil rejection and flux recovery property under multicycle filtration, demonstrating its excellent durability and stability. This flexible integration of PMS-based AOP catalytic capability and super-wettability into a composite membrane can provide inspiration for effective complicated wastewater rehabilitation.

In response to the defects of low oil adsorption capacity and poor oil–water selectivity of polypropylene fiber felt as an oil spill emergency material, which necessitates systematic improvement to cope with frequent oil spills. Herein, a superhydrophobic magnetic fiber felt is fabricated by a facile melt-blown technique and a rapid modification process to solve its defects while imparting its functionality. UV-induced rapid polymerization of dopamine on melt-blown fibers and a dip coating of hydrophobic candelilla wax to modify mussel-inspired oil-adsorbent felts. The resultant felt features remote controllability as well as thermal and mechanical stability, exhibiting high resistance to corrosive solutions. The adsorption efficiency of the modified felt is significantly enhanced with a capacity of 10–20.48 g/g, and notably, it can be recycled 15 times via manual adsorption–desorption, which greatly contributes to the usefulness of the adsorbent. In addition, the separation efficiency of the felt applied as a membrane exceeds 95.7 % for various oil–water mixtures by gravity alone and a permeate flux of up to 28,662 L·m −2 ·h −1 . A pump-assisted experiment connected to a felt can collect oil at a flux of 20,845 L·m −2 ·h −1 , aiming at the continuous recovery of oil spills from seawater. The significant advancement in oil-adsorbent felt provides engineers with a more realistic strategy to handle oil spills and challenging separations.
