"The next step is to prepare electrothermal materials using polyurethane foam as the skeleton for oil adsorption, combining photothermal and electrothermal techniques to form an all-weather oil ...

Enhancing the adsorption efficiency of adsorbent materials for high-viscosity oil remains a significant challenge for researchers.

Researchers at the University of California have developed this material, called COF-999. Its CO2 adsorption capacity is exceptional, while also being stable and durable.

A new material capable of the adsorption of organic pollutants in water The organomica C18-Mica-4 eliminates between 70 and 100 percent of these toxic compounds in less than 24 hours Date: June 5 ...

In tests, the 'oil sponge' could absorb 90 times its weight in oil before being wrung out and ready to use again. Such a material could drastically lower cleanup costs for future oil spills.

The results show that the material C18-Mica-4 is capable of eliminating the majority of pollutants that were evaluated in urban waste water, as well as surface water and potable water. The study ...

To remove oil from water, the authors used cork treated by a fast-pulsing laser method that removes some oxygen from the material, increasing the relative carbon and making it more water-repelling ...

A new material could make CO2 capture much easier. It is so effective that it rivals trees in this task. Its design is based on a novel chemical architecture. Researchers at the University of ...

“Oil recovery is a complex and systematic task, and participating in oil recovery throughout its entire life cycle is our goal,” Yuchun He said. “The next step is to prepare electrothermal materials ...
