Abstract
Mechanical oil recovery (i.e., booming and skimming) is the most common tool for oil spill response. The recovered fluid generated from skimming processes may contain a considerable proportion of water (10 % ~ 70 %). As a result of regulatory prohibition on the discharge of contaminated waters at sea, vessels and/or storage barges must make frequent trips to shore for oil-water waste disposal. This practice can be time- consuming thus reduces the overall efficiency and capacity of oil recovery. One potential solution is on-site oil-water separation and disposal of water fraction at sea. However, currently available decanting processes may have limited oil/water separation capabilities, especially in the presence of oil-water emulsion, which is inevitable in mechanical oil recovery. The decanted water may not meet the discharge standards and cause severe ecotoxicological impacts. This paper therefore comprehensively reviews the principles and progress in oil/water separation, demulsification, and on-site treatment technologies, investigates their applicability on decanting at sea, and discusses the ecotoxicity of decanted water in the marine environment. The outputs provide the fundamental and practical knowledge on decanting and help enhance response effectiveness and consequently reducing the environmental impacts of oil spills.

Abstract
In this work, nano carbon black was modified with polyethyleneimine (CB-PEI) under an ultrasonic field. The obtained product was used as a demulsifier to break oily wastewater. Morphology, structure, and chemical composition of CB-PEI were systematically analyzed. Bottle test was carried out to evaluate the influence of dosage, pH value and salinity on the demulsification efficiency of the emulsion. The results showed that the light transmittance of water phase (TSW) after the demulsification was 79.1% and corresponding oil removal rate (ORR) could reach up to 99.4% with 60 mg/L of CB-PEI at ambient temperature for 30 min. In addition, the possible demulsification mechanism was explored by dynamic interface tension (IFT), elasticity modulus, wettability, self-assemble of interfacial membrane, zeta potential and micrograph analysis. It indicated that CB-PEI had an appropriate amphiphilicity and good interfacial activity, which could improve it quickly transfer to the oil-water interface and result in the oil-water separation. The current work provides a simple method to prepare a demulsifier with excellent performance, so it has a good application prospect for the treatment of oil-water emulsions.

J Pharm Sci 2022; 111:1776-1784.

Abstract
The clinical applications of paclitaxel (PTX), a natural compound with broad-spectrum antitumor effects, have been markedly limited owing to its poor oral bioavailability and lack of targeting ability. Recently, several drug carriers, such as TPGS2k, gelatin (Gel), cyclodextrin (CD), and hyaluronic acid (HA), have been identified as promising enhancers of drug efficacy. Therefore, Gel-grafted CD (GEL-CD) and HA-grafted CD (HA-CD) were synthesized via grafting, and PTX-loaded TPGS2k/GEL-CD/HA-CD nanoparticles (TGHC-PTX-NPs) were successfully prepared using the ultrasonic crushing method. The mean particles size, polydispersity index, and Zeta potential of TGHC-PTX-NPs were 253.57 ± 2.64 nm, 0.13 ± 0.03, and 0.087 ± 0.005 mV, respectively. TGHC-PTX-NPs with an encapsulation efficiency of 61.77 ± 0.47% and a loading capacity of 6.86 ± 0.32% appeared round and uniformly dispersed based on transmission electron microscopy. In vitro release data revealed that TGHC-PTX-NPs had good sustained-release properties. Further, TGHC-PTX-NPs had increased the targeted uptake by HeLa cells as HA can specifically bind to the CD44 receptor at the cell surface, and its intestinal absorption is related to caveolin-mediated endocytosis. The pharmacokinetic results indicated that TGHC-PTX-NPs significantly enhanced the absorption of PTX in vivo compared to the PTX suspension, with a relative bioavailability of 227.21%. Such findings indicate the potential of TGHC-PTX-NPs for numerous clinical applications.

Abstract
In this work, a CNTs-NH2 demulsifier was prepared by grafting ethylenediamine on the surface of carbon nanotubes to break oily wastewater. The physicochemical and interfacial properties of CNTs-NH2 were characterized and analyzed. It showed that CNTs-NH2 had an eminent amphipathicity and high interfacial activity, which allows it to sharply migrates to the interface and effectively interacts with interfacial film by the combined action of π-π interaction and electrostatic attraction. The demulsification tests exhibited that CNTs-NH2 could effectively remove emulsified oil from the oily wastewater. It could be used at acidic and neutral conditions, and high salinity. Moreover, it could be recycled and still maintained its interfacial activity, thusly vastly enhancing the application scope. The light transmittance was up to 88.1% and the corresponding oil removal rate was 99.2% with 100 mg/L of CNTs-NH2 for 30 min. The oil removal rate of CNTs-NH2 remained above 97.8% after 6 cycles. This work provides a deep understanding on the design of demulsifier and its demulsification mechanism.

Abstract
Removing emulsified water from a water-in-crude oil (W/O) emulsion is critically required prior to downstream processing in the petroleum industry. In this work, environmentally friendly and amphipathic rice husk carbon (RHC) demulsifier was prepared by a simple carbonization process in a muffle furnace using rice husks as starting materials. RHC was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, ultraviolet-visible spectrometer, powder X-ray diffraction, zeta potential and synchronal thermal analyzer. The factors such as dosage, temperature, settling time, pH value and salinity were systematically investigated. The results indicated that the dehydration efficiency (DE) reached as high as 96.99% with 600 mg/L of RHC for 80 min at 70 °C. RHC exhibited an optimal DE under neutral condition, but it was also effective under acidic and alkaline conditions. Also, it had an excellent salt tolerance. The possible demulsification mechanism was explored by interfacial properties, different treatment methods for RHC and microexamination. The demulsification of RHC is attributed to its high interfacial activity, oxygen-containing groups and content of silica. It indicates that RHC is an effective demulsifier for the treatment of the W/O emulsion.

Abstract
In current work, GO@SiO2 nanocomposite was prepared by coating nanoscale silica onto graphene oxide (GO). GO@SiO2 was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (IF-IR). Additionally, the demulsifying performance of GO@SiO2 was investigated by bottle test. The results showed that GO@SiO2 had a good demulsifying performance in both oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions. When the concentration of GO@SiO2 was 200 ppm in the O/W emulsion, the optimal light transmittance of aqueous phase (LTA) and corresponding oil removal rate (ORR) at room temperature could reach 86.9% and 99.48%, respectively. Also, GO@SiO2 had an excellent salt tolerance under acidic condition. Furthermore, GO@SiO2 also could demulsify the W/O emulsion, and the efficiency at 70 °C could reach 80.5% when the concentration was 400 ppm.

Abstract
Inefficiency, high cost, and complex operation have emerged as shackles for large-scale separate oil-in-water emulsion. Herein, a low-cost and eco-friendly separation layer with a rough structure and rich anionic groups was fabricated from rice straw (RS) via a simple acid-base treatment and slight squeeze process. The separation layer's morphology, composition, and wettability were investigated. It was then employed to separate oil-in-water emulsion. The RS after acid and alkali treatment (A1A2-RS) exhibited a clear fiber structure and abundant humps, which made the separation layer superwettable and highly electronegative (-26.55 mV). The overlapped and intertwined A1A2-RS layer structure owned a superior performance for hexadecyl-trimethyl-ammonium-bromide (CTAB) adsorption and tiny oil interception. As a result, the separation layer had stable fluxes (>500 LMH) for multiple CTAB-stabilized emulsions and the obtained filtrates performed low total organic carbon (TOC) contents (<30 mg/L). In addition, the A1A2-RS layer had excellent renewability (10 cycles/ 200 mL) and the flux could be substantially recovered merely by aqueous wash. Moreover, filtrate analysis showed that the A1A2-RS layer had a good effect on actual emulsion treatment with a TOC removal rate of 89.56%.
