Efficient elimination of petroleum hydrocarbon pollution from the environments has received extensive attention due to its severe environmental hazards. Herein, we designed and fabricated a composite bioreactor capable of rapidly and selectively adsorbing petroleum hydrocarbons, specifically diesel , followed by microbial degradation to treat oily wastewater simply and efficiently. Briefly, the bioreactor was prepared using a three-dimensional superhydrophobic/superoleophilic stainless steel mesh as the shell and mixed microbial immobilized kapok fibers as core. By a simple surface modification, the surface water contact angle of the composite bioreactor reaches up to 155°. The high-speed camera's super lipophilic description enables most of the diesel oil to be absorbed within 21 ms. The porosity of the reactor's super hydrophilic kapok fibers aerogel can reach 89%. After immobilized mixed microorganisms , the number of microorganisms increased within 48 h in a favorable environment. The internal space of the reactor shows positive biocompatibility. Afterward, the experimental results of adsorption and degradation for diesel oil show that the degradation rate can reach more than 90% after 204 h, which is about 40% higher than that of the free mixed microorganisms. Compared with the simple method of embedding microorganisms in aerogel , a new core-shell structure microbial reactor is constructed in this paper, which can effectively avoid the risk of microbial leakage and achieve the goal of biodegradation while absorbing oily wastewater. It has constructed a more stable and effective protection space for the continuous degradation of oiling wastewater, while effectively protecting microorganisms from harsh environment, thus showing great potential in various applications such as eliminating organic pollution, oil removal, and wastewater purification.

This study examined the effect of glycerol used as a co-solvent on yields of bio-oil derived from rice straw through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). The reaction was conducted in a high-pressure batch reactor with different volume ratios of glycerol to water. The quality of the derived bio-oil was analyzed in terms of its elemental composition, heating value, water content, ash content, and acid number. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were conducted to analyze the chemical composition of the derived bio-oils. The following optimal conditions were obtained: 1:1 vol ratio of glycerol to water with 5 wt% of Na 2 CO 3 at 260 °C for 1 h. Under these conditions, 50.31 wt% of bio-oil and 26.65 wt% of solid residue were produced. Therefore, glycerol can be used as a co-solvent in HTL of rice straw at moderate temperatures to obtain bio-oil with high yield and quality.

In this study, naturally occurring ingredient diosgenin was utilized as an organogelator for structuring canola oil. Results show that stable diosgenin-based organogel can be obtained at only 2% of diosgenin concentration when the gel preparation temperature is 100 °C. Oil binding capacity and rheological properties of the organogel were investigated. Results demonstrate that these two macroscopic characteristics of the organogels can be significantly modified by simply changing the gel preparation temperature or diosgenin concentration. When the preparation temperature was 120 °C and the diosgenin concentration higher than 4%, oil binding capacity of at least 90% were obtained. Furthermore, higher gel preparation temperature resulted in higher G′values of the diosgenin-based organogels. According to the results analyzed by polarized light microscopy, XRD and FT-IR, it can be found that the possible gelation mechanism of the diosgenin-based organogels is formation of supramolecular structures by self-assembly of diosgenin molecule crystals via hydrogen bonding interaction. Varying gel preparation conditions of the organogels lead to self-assembly of diosgenin molecules to form different microstructures. Therefore, diosgenin can be considered as a good organogelator for producing functional organogel from canola oil. The novel diosgenin-based organogel is expected to be widely used in bio-related fields such as food and pharmaceutical industries.

The development of composite membranes utilizing transition metal carbides and nitrides, exemplified by Ti 3 C 2 T x (MXene), has proven efficacious in the treatment of oily wastewater. However, challenges arise from the prolonged and convoluted transport paths within MXene interlayer nanochannels, significantly impeding mass transfer and diminishing membrane permeability. This investigation incorporated porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as intercalating agents into two-dimensional (2D) MXene-based membranes to expand the interlayer nanochannels. The resulting MXene@COF-TpBD functional layer polyethersulfone (PES) composite membrane exhibited a distinctive dual superoleophobic surface, concurrently manifesting underwater superoleophobicity and underoil superhydrophobicity (underwater oil contact angle >150°, underoil water contact angle >150°). The membranes exhibited excellent water flux (up to 4092.7 L m −2 h −1 ·bar −1 ), efficient oil-water emulsion separation (up to 1908.4 L m −2 h −1 ·bar −1 , rejection rates >99.78 %), noteworthy fouling resistance and structural stability, outperforming most of existing similar membranes. Furthermore, supported by the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory, the incorporation of COF-TpBD improved the antifouling characteristics of the composite membrane. This work presents innovative insights into the improvement of 2D MXene membranes and the use of COF-TpBD for the specific remediation of oily wastewater.

A natural mud shale (MS) from Yichang Area, China was for the first time experimentally examined for its potential application to oily effluents treatment. The mineralogical compositions, surface structures and pore size distribution of the prepared MS particles were characterised using various advanced analytical technologies, respectively. The performance of the MS particles during the model diesel oil wastewater treatment was examined based on the designed adsorption experiments. Isothermal and kinetic features were investigated according to a variety of adsorption models. The results showed that some pores, cavities and fractures were distributed on the surface of MS particles. The efficiency of MS particles for removing diesel oil from the model oily effluent was associated closely with experimental conditions including the mass of MS particles, initial diesel levels, residence time and pH values. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms conformed to Langmuir model, indicating that the adsorption of diesel oil onto MS particles tended to monolayer adsorption. Kinetics of adsorption of diesel oil on MS complied with the pseudo-second-order model. This suggested that the whole oil removal rate was mainly controlled by chemisorption. Results of our study indicates potential utilisation of unmodified MS particles as an abundant and inexpensive adsorbent for low-concentration diesel oil wastewater.

Camellia oil and olive oil with superior economic value are easily adulterated with other, cheaper oils. It is difficult to identify both oils by traditional methods because of their similar fatty acid profiles. In the present study, a novel method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of β-sitosterol using GC/MS and GC/FID was developed to identify camellia oil and olive oil. The method validation of β-sitosterol analysis showed good linearity and satisfactory values for recovery, accuracy, precision, and repeatability. The linear regression coefficient (R2) of the calibration curve was 0.9985. An acceptable limit of detection (0.36 mg/100 g) and limit of quantification (1.20 mg/100 g) were achieved. The spiked recoveries were 95.0% to 100.3%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of within-day precision was less than 3.26%, and the RSD of retention times and peak areas for repeatability were within 0.03% and 1.08%, respectively. The contents of β-sitosterol in virgin camellia oil and virgin olive oil were in the range of 14.1–30.2 mg/100 g and 94.3–173.2 mg/100 g, respectively, indicating that the β-sitosterol content in the former is seven times that in the latter, and β-sitosterol could be a potential marker for the authentication and adulteration detection of both oils.

Background: Deficiency or imbalance of unsaturated fatty acids will promote the pathogenesis of many diseases. In order to monitor the exposure of unsaturated fatty acids, the method based on LC–MS/MS was developed. Results: Standard calibration curves for α-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, palmitoleic acid and oleic acid were linear (r ≥0.99). The intra-and interbatch accuracy (RE%) ranged from -4.5 to 8.6%, while the intra- and interbatch precisions (RSD%) were ≤8.7%. The extraction recovery varied from 85.4 to 99.6%, and no obvious matrix effect was observed. Conclusion: The method offers a simple approach for measuring 4 unsaturated fatty acids in 1 μl rat plasma within 3.95 min.

Engineering a versatile platform that enables to separate both oil/water and oil/oil mixtures and remove dye from water is not easy. To address this challenge, we have developed an Ag/polydopamine-coated textile (Ag/PDA@textile) by chemically depositing Ag particles on the textile surface using polydopamine as the binder layer. The obtained Ag/PDA@textile attracts water but repels oil in the air, underwater, and when immersed into the oil. Exploiting its water-attracting and oil resistance, the Ag/PDA@textile is acted as a separation membrane to separate oil/water mixtures with enhanced separation efficiency. The Ag/PDA@textile also possesses opposite wetting behavior to oils with different polarities, allowing it to separate oil/oil mixtures efficiently. Thanks to the catalytic performance of the Ag particle, organic dyes can be decomposed effectively by our Ag/PDA@textile under UV illustration or in the presence of NaBH 4 . Our Ag/PDA@textile may be valuable for applications in water purification and oil sewage treatment.

Surfaces with uniform and stable superwetting behavior have enormous application prospects. In particular, an air-water/oil amphibious superhydrophilic-superhydrophobic surface is advantageous in oil-water separation and oil-repellent materials. However, existing methods to create this property require either water pretreatment or time-consuming stimulation process, which makes instant oil-water identification impossible. Here, inspired by Namib desert beetle, we propose a strategy to construct layers differing in surface free energies to achieve surfaces that are simultaneously superhydrophilic-superoleophobic. Rough microcrystalline cellulose particles were modified by 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy and perfluorooctanoic acid to successively construct high- and low-surface free energy layers. Surfaces prepared by simple spraying of these particles display excellent and stable superhydrophilicity-superoleophobicity under the amphibious conditions of air and water/oil, as well as excellent temperature and abrasion resistance. Pressed cotton membranes treated with these particles can effectively separate oil-water mixtures and oil-in-water emulsions without any pretreatment, even when the oil phase is highly viscous. Moreover, cotton gloves coated with these particles have superior water permeability and oil repellency without losing breathability. These results suggest a new approach towards oil-water separation and oil-repellent fabrics.

Using petroleum-based plastic materials poses many serious problems, including resource consumption and environmental pollution. Paper-based materials are good substitutes for plastic products because of their biodegradability, resource-richness, and recyclability. Paper’s poor water and oil resistance limits its wide application in food packaging. The use of water and oil repellents is an effective strategy to improve the barrier properties of paper. However, fluorine-containing oil repellents produce perfluorooctanoic acid/perfluorooctanesulfonyl compounds (PFOA/PFOS), which are hazardous to human beings and the environment, during the preparation and use of the repellents. Therefore, developing non-toxic, harmless, and biodegradable bio-based waterproof and oil-resistant coatings is the mainstream trend in the future. In this study, simple and environmentally friendly fluorine-free waterproof and oil-resistant coatings for food wrapping paper were developed by grafting oleyl alcohol onto chitosan using the ring-opening reaction of epichlorohydrin, and the reagents successfully adhered to the surface of the paper. The successful synthesis of waterproof and oil-resistant coatings was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (IR) analyses. The chitosan-based coatings (CHI-g-xOA, x = 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1) with different oleyl alcohol contents were prepared by the facile method. The obtained coated paper CHI-g-xOA-p ( x = 1/4) has not only excellent oil resistance (Kit rating value of 11 ± 1.0/12), which meets the food-grade oil-proof requirement, but also has excellent water resistance (Cobb 60 value of 11.86 ± 1.60 g/m 2 ). Compared with the uncoated paper, the tensile strength and water vapor transmission rate of the coated paper were significantly improved.

Oily wastewater has caused serious environmental problems. To achieve efficient separation of oil/water mixtures and surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions, electrospinning, directional freeze-casting and thermal treatment techniques were combined to fabricate anisotropic and aligned nanofiber-based composite aerogels with underwater superoleophobicity and underoil superhydrophilicity. No toxic crosslinking agents or organic solvents were used during the whole fabrication process. The composite aerogels without any surface modification possessed the ability to selectively absorb water from oil/water mixtures to realize effective separation oil and water. Furthermore, the composite aerogels could separate surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions by gravity-driven filtration. When used for gravity-driven separation of Span80 stabilized water-in-petroleum ether emulsion, the flux and corresponding separation efficiency reached 2423 L·m −2 ·h −1 and 99.8 %, respectively. The used composite aerogel could be readily recycled by rinsing and freeze-drying without using any organic solvent, because it displayed underoil superhydrophilicity and excellent anti-oil property. Differing from the separation materials that have been previously documented, the nanofiber-based composite aerogels could act as both absorption materials and gravity-driven filtration materials. In summary, the composite aerogels developed in this study show great potential for efficient separation of oil and water.

Membrane technologies have been extensively employed to separate and purify emulsified oily wastewater. However, the long-term performance of membranes is still restricted by oil fouling and their inability to function in severe conditions. Herein, ZrO 2 nanoparticles were deposited onto the poly(vinylidene fluoride) membrane surface using γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (KH550) as a coupling agent, as inspired by a biomimetic coating method of polydopamine (PDA). It has been determined that the distribution density of nanoparticles can be tuned by adjusting the KH550 and ZrO 2 concentrations. After coating the PDA and ZrO 2 layers, the nanocomposite membrane exhibits a high degree of hydrophilicity, underwater superoleophobicity, and anti-oil-fouling properties. This outstanding characteristic endows the membrane with an ultrahigh permeation flux of emulsion and a rejection ratio of over 99 % for a variety of oil/water emulsions. The flux recovery of the nanocomposite membrane remains at over 91 % after thirteen cyclic filtrations of emulsions. Moreover, the excellent surface wettability and oil/water separation properties of the nanocomposite membranes can be maintained under prolonged exposure to strong acid, alkali, and salt solutions.
