Researchers in China have unveiled a new, highly effective technique for separating oil and water mixtures. Oil and water mixtures naturally separate over time. However, in industrial processes, this ...

Mixtures of oil and water can be efficiently separated by pumping them into thin channels between semipermeable membranes, paving the way to cheaper and cleaner ways to deal with industrial waste.

Wastewater from many industries, restaurants, and households, contains stable oil-water emulsions that are challenging to break apart. Membranes can do this separation without using chemicals or large ...

Named after the two-faced Roman god Janus to reflect its dual-purpose design, researchers present a novel membrane system – a Janus channel of membranes (JCM) – capable of simultaneously separating ...
