Oil Water

The increasing amount of oily wastewater discharges caused major challenges for current environmental issues, such as oil-water purification and separation [1-6]. Thus, the development of new functional materials for the efficient treatment of oil-water is imperative [7-11]. This paper reviewed the recently developed oil-water separation technologies, which were based on novel functional nanomaterials, and presented representative works in detail. Finally, the challenges and future research directions of this area were briefly discussed.

Further Development

With the development of society, oil pollution has become more and more serious, it is becoming a global issue to separate oil and water mixture. Currently, a variety of functional materials have been successfully prepared for oil/water separation. Among them, polyurethane is an attractive candidate due to its low cost, wear-resistance and excellent mechanical properties. This report summarizes the design strategy of polyurethane-based materials and their applications in oil/water separation. The progress made so far will guide further development of polyurethane-based materials for oil/water separation.
