[PMID: 36871707 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
With rapid socioeconomic development, oil is widely used in all aspects of modern society. However, the extraction, transport, and processing of oil inevitably lead to the production of large quantities of oily wastewater. Traditional oil/water separation strategies are often inefficient, costly, and cumbersome to operate. Therefore, new green, low-cost, and high-efficiency materials must be developed for oil/water separation. As widely sourced and renewable natural biocomposites, wood-based materials have become a hot field recently. This review will focus on the application of several wood-based materials in oil/water separation. The state of research on wood sponges, cotton fibers, cellulose aerogels, cellulose membranes, and some other wood-based materials for oil/water separation over the last few years and provide an outlook on their future development are summarized and investigated. It is expected to provide some direction for future research on the use of wood-based materials in oil/water separation.

Abstract
Rapid population growth and the resultant pollution of freshwater resources have created a water stress condition reducing the availability of safe and affordable water. Guar gum, a biocompatible macromolecule obtained from the endosperm of the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus, is a fascinating raw material for multifunctional adsorbents. This review assembled the work conducted by various researchers over the past few decades and discussed the structure, properties, and different modifications methods employed to develop versatile guar gum-based adsorbent. The paper also summarized the recent progress of guar gum-based nanocomposites for the remediation of multiple hazardous substances such as organic dyes, toxic heavy metal ions, oil-water separation as well as inhibiting the growth of bacterial pathogens. Thus, the important contribution of guar gum composites to safeguard the water quality is highlighted which will overcome the limitations and streamline the future course of innovative research.

Abstract
In recent years, kitchen oily wastewater has received much attention because of its harmful effects on the ecological environment. Therefore, separation of oil from kitchen oily wastewater has become an urgent issue. In this study, this problem could be solved using polyester fabrics covered with cupric hydroxide and cellulose. The functional fabric was obtained by the dipping-rolling-drying process which is an easy and practical way to prepare the fabric and could improve the hydrophilicity of polyester. The functional polyester fabric could separate oil/water mixtures completely under the force of gravity with a high water flux of 2079 L m-2 h-1-3620 L m-2 h-1 and high separation efficiency of 99.6%. Because kitchen oily wastewater contains floating oil and emulsified oil, we also tested the separation of oil-in-water emulsions. The functional polyester fabric could successfully separate the emulsions with the water flux of 1210 L m-2 h-1-2018 L m-2 h-1 and a separation efficiency of 99.0%. Moreover, the water flux and separation efficiency of functional polyester fabric remained unchanged after the immersion in salt, alkali, and acid solutions, indicating that the functional polyester fabric exhibited commendable environmental stability. The oil in Chongqing Street Noodles soup with a high oil content was separated to simulate real-life oil/water separation, confirming that the functional polyester fabric could be applied to the treatment of kitchen oily wastewater.

Development of Bigels Based on Date Palm-Derived Cellulose Nanocrystal-Reinforced Guar Gum Hydrogel and Sesame Oil/Candelilla Wax Oleogel as Delivery Vehicles for Moxifloxacin. Gels 2022; 8:gels8060330. [PMID: 35735674 PMCID: PMC9222693 DOI: 10.3390/gels8060330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Bigels are biphasic semisolid systems that have been explored as delivery vehicles in the food and pharmaceutical industries. These formulations are highly stable and have a longer shelf-life than emulsions. Similarly, cellulose-based hydrogels are considered to be ideal for these formulations due to their biocompatibility and flexibility to mold into various shapes. Accordingly, in the present study, the properties of an optimized guar gum hydrogel and sesame oil/candelilla wax oleogel-based bigel were tailored using date palm-derived cellulose nanocrystals (dp-CNC). These bigels were then explored as carriers for the bioactive molecule moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MH). The preparation of the bigels was achieved by mixing guar gum hydrogel and sesame oil/candelilla wax oleogel. Polarizing microscopy suggested the formation of the hydrogel-in-oleogel type of bigels. An alteration in the dp-CNC content affected the size distribution of the hydrogel phase within the oleogel phase. The colorimetry studies revealed the yellowish-white color of the samples. There were no significant changes in the FTIR functional group positions even after the addition of dp-CNC. In general, the incorporation of dp-CNC resulted in a decrease in the impedance values, except BG3 that had 15 mg dp-CNC in 20 g bigel. The BG3 formulation showed the highest firmness and fluidity. The release of MH from the bigels was quasi-Fickian diffusion mediated. BG3 showed the highest release of the drug. In summary, dp-CNC can be used as a novel reinforcing agent for bigels.

Abstract
Recently, the growing environmental concerns and economic demands drive the need to develop effective solutions for the treatment of oily wastewater, especially for oil/water emulsions. In this work, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) are selected to form a complex membrane on the surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nonwoven via layer-by-layer assembly for separation of water-in-oil emulsions. In order to obtain a hydrophobic surface, two post-treatment methods, thermally and chemically induced cross-linking, are applied to modify the hydrogen-bonded HEC/PAA complex membrane. The properties of the two treated HEC/PAA-PET membranes, including surface morphology, chemical structure, chemical composition, thermal stability, mechanical property, and membrane wettability are systematically studied and compared to each other. When the membranes are applied as oil filters to treat water-in-oil emulsions with different concentrations, both of the modified membranes show excellent separation efficiencies with a more than 99.4% rejection for all tested water-in-oil emulsions.

Abstract
Membrane deformation is a significant problem in osmotically driven membrane processes, as it restricts practical operating conditions and reduces overall process performance due to unfavorable alteration of membrane permeation characteristics. In this respect, a spacer plays a crucial role, as it dictates the form and extent of membrane deformation in association with concentration polarization (CP), which is also influenced by spacer-induced hydrodynamic behavior near the membrane surface. These two roles of spacers on membrane permeation characteristics are inherently inseparable with the coexistence of hydraulic and osmotic pressures. Here, we suggest a novel analytical method to differentially quantify the proportions of effective osmotic pressure drop caused by membrane deformation and CP. Furthermore, we tested two different FO membranes with three different spacer configurations to define and discuss different forms of membrane deformation and their effects on membrane permeation characteristics. The differential analysis revealed the effect of spacer configuration on effective osmotic pressure drop in membrane deformation (up to ∼201% of variation) is much greater than that in CP (up to ∼20.1% of variation). In addition, a combined configuration of a feed spacer and tricot spacer demonstrated its ability of mitigating membrane deformation with lower selectivity loss and channel pressure drop under pressurization.

Complex Aerogels Generated from Nano-Polysaccharides and Its Derivatives for Oil-Water Separation. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11101593.

Abstract
The complex aerogel generated from nano-polysaccharides, chitin nanocrystals (ChiNC) and TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TCNF), and its derivative cationic guar gum (CGG) is successfully prepared via a facile freeze-drying method with glutaraldehyde (GA) as cross-linkers. The complexation of ChiNC, TCNF, and CGG is shown to be helpful in creating a porous structure in the three-dimensional aerogel, which creates within the aerogel with large pore volume and excellent compressive properties. The ChiNC/TCNF/CGG aerogel is then modified with methyltrichlorosilane (MTCS) to obtain superhydrophobicity/superoleophilicity and used for oil–water separation. The successful modification is demonstrated through FTIR, XPS, and surface wettability studies. A water contact angle of 155° on the aerogel surface and 150° on the surface of the inside part of aerogel are obtained for the MTCS-modified ChiNC/TCNF/CGG aerogel, resulting in its effective absorption of corn oil and organic solvents (toluene, n-hexane, and trichloromethane) from both beneath and at the surface of water with excellent absorption capacity (i.e., 21.9 g/g for trichloromethane). More importantly, the modified aerogel can be used to continuously separate oil from water with the assistance of a vacuum setup and maintains a high absorption capacity after being used for 10 cycles. The as-prepared superhydrophobic/superoleophilic ChiNC/TCNF/CGG aerogel can be used as a promising absorbent material for the removal of oil from aqueous media.
