Therefore, this advanced strategy based on absorption-storage water molecules to construct robust hydration layers provides a promising insight for the development of superior antifouling and operationally stable oil/water emulsions separation membranes.
Among these materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and their composites have emerged as excellent candidates due to their ultraporous structures with high surface areas that can be engineered to achieve high selectivity for one of the phases in an oil/water mixture for efficient water filtration.
In this paper, a new axial inlet separator with two reverse flow outlets and a downstream flow outlet is introduced. In addition, an experimental system was designed and fabricated to investigate the effects of inlet flow rate, oil fraction, and a controlled split ratio on separation performance.

Hence, this Special Issue is mainly dedicated to the dissemination of innovative theories and methods for separation, which includes but is not limited to the separation of oil, gas and water in surface pipeline systems and wellbores, as well as carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).
A protocol is proposed for simultaneous oil/water separation and electricity generation. Oil/water separation efficiency achieves > 99% only out of solar energy.
Overall, oil-water separator system designs are discussed and recommendations for ensuring system efficiency, regulatory compliance, reliability, sustainability and effective procedures are presented.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the performance of oil-water separation experimentally using two methods: gravity separation, and electrolysis separation.
Here, a novel oil/water separation method based on a self-driven oil jet phenomenon was proposed to resolve the aforementioned problem. We designed a self-driven oil/water separator (SOWS) composed of an oil container with some oil and a water container with some water.

The aerogels possessed outstanding hydrophobic property and were used for oil/water separation through selectively adsorption oils and organic solvents from oil/water mixtures. The aerogels could be further carbonized to carbon aerogels that showed outstanding performance in energy storage.
Nowadays, most oilfields have entered the high water cut stage of waterflood development. The importance of oil–water separation technology becomes more obvious. Gravity separation is one of the most commonly used treatment techniques for produced fluid.
The oil–gas separator of the gas storage compressor serves as crucial equipment in a natural gas storage system to improve gas storage purity and efficiency. Its optimization is also essential to improve the separation efficiency and lifespan. Collision and centrifugal separation are two [...] Read more.
Electricity can be generated by salinity gradient power. Therefore, oil-water separation efficiency of > 99% and derived extra electricity power of ∼0.1 W/m 2 is achieved under solar radiation, demonstrating the feasibility of oil-water separation and electricity production synchronously directly using solar energy.
Dear Colleagues, Separation technology plays an important part in the fields of oil and gas development through the ages. With continuous development, the requirements of separation efficiency, energy saving, emission reduction, and other indicators are increasing, and separation technology requires more research and innovation.
As mentioned earlier, one of the key elements for the effective separation of oil/water mixtures is the selective filtration capability due to the superhydrophilic or superhydrophobic nature of the materials.
Numerous factors must be considered in the selection and design of oil-water separation systems. Among these are: For industrial and some municipal applications, flow rate, amount of oil, flowing temperature, and other conditions affecting separation (such as whether flow is laminar or turbulent) may be easily determined.
