Emulsified oily wastewater threatens human health seriously, and traditional technologies are unable to separate emulsion containing small sized oil droplets. Currently, oil–water emulsions are usually separated by special wettability membranes, and researchers are devoted to developing membranes with excellent antifouling performance and high permeability. Herein, a novel, simple and low-cost method has been proposed for the separation of emulsion containing surfactants. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning and then coated by polydopamine (PDA) by using self-polymerization reactions in aqueous solutions. The morphology, structure and oil-in-water emulsion separation properties of the as-prepared PDA@PAN nanofibrous membrane were tested. The results show that PDA@PAN nanofibrous membrane has superhydrophilicity and almost no adhesion to crude oil in water, which exhibits excellent oil–water separation ability. The permeability and separation efficiency of n-hexane/water emulsion are up to 1570 Lm−2 h−1 bar−1 and 96.1%, respectively. Furthermore, after 10 cycles of separation, the permeability and separation efficiency values do not decrease significantly, indicating its good recycling performance. This research develops a new method for preparing oil–water separation membrane, which can be used for efficient oil-in-water emulsion separation.

A new nanofibrous membrane (NFM) was prepared by blending polyethersulfone (PES) and sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) via electrospinning. The membrane exhibits good thermal stability and high mechanical strength. The hydrophilicity of the membrane could be controlled by adjusting the mass ratio of PES to SPEEK. PES acts as the backbone fiber and provides high mechanical strength, while SPEEK provides hydrophilic functional groups due to the strong hydrophilicity of the sulfonic group. The test results show that the composite NFM integrates the advantages of the two polymers. Simple adjustment of the weight ratios of the two polymers can enable an adjustable flux so that the membrane can be used for different kinds of oil/water separation. The results show that NFMs can not only separate immiscible oil/water systems but also separate oil-in-water emulsions. The immiscible oil/water separation process was driven only by gravity and had a high flux of 1119.63 Lm−2 h−1. This separation process conserves energy, which is beneficial for environmental protection. The separation flux of the oil-in-water emulsion was 758.71 Lm−2 h−1 bar−1 based on measurements under different pressures, and the separation purity total organic carbon was below 50 ppm. This work indicates that a membrane comprised of PES and SPEEK has excellent performance and can be used in different fields.

Oil In Water Emulsion

Water plays an essential role in production and refining processes. Many industries that use petrochemicals also require water, especially for cleaning purposes. The wastewaters released by these processes are often rich in petroleum pollutants, which requires significant treatment prior to disposal. The presence of petroleum contaminants in rivers and oceans is a significant threat to human health, as well as to many animal species. A current challenge for most industries and conventional effluent treatment plants is compliance with accepted disposal standards for oil-polluted wastewater. Of particular importance is the processing of dispersed oil in water, as well as oil in water emulsion. Conventional oil and water separation methods for processing oil in water contamination have several technology gaps in terms of applicability and efficiency. The removal and effective processing of dispersed oil and emulsions from oily wastewater is a costly and significant problem. The objective of this paper is to provide a review of the principles associated with oil in water emulsion separation, with the aim of providing a more definitive understanding of the terminology, processes, and methodologies, which will assist the development of a more efficient, innovative and environmentally friendly process for the separation of oily wastewater.
