Article Synopsis
- Catastrophic oil spills and industrial wastewater release pose significant global threats to marine ecosystems and public health, leading to severe economic impacts.
- This review focuses on various methods for oil collection and emphasizes technologies for separating oil from water, particularly in stable oil/water emulsions that are challenging to separate.
- Innovative oil-absorbent materials like sponges, foams, and nanoparticles, as well as adsorbent materials including meshes and clays, are highlighted for their ability to effectively capture and absorb oil, making them attractive due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of production.
