Development of a Novel Superhydrophobic Sawdust–Perspex Composite Disc for Efficient Oil–Water Separation

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water pollution by oil and organic substances causes serious problems that threaten the ecosystem. Superhydrophobic materials represent an effective solution for removing oil from water. The present paper investigates the development of a low‐cost, superhydrophobic composite for oil–water separation.

Oil Spills- Where We Were, Where We Are, And Where We Will Be? A Bibliometric and Content Analysis Discourse [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
More frequently and in more ways than one might think, oil spills are a very common phenomenon. There were three major (>700 tonnes; Asia and Africa) and four minor oil spills only in 2022 (between 7 and 700 tonnes; North America, Asia, and Africa).

Technobiological Pathways for High‐CO₂ Capture Using Micro‐/Macroalgae: Genetic Engineering, Process Automation, and Value‐Added Bioproducts

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Charge-Coupled Frequency Response Multispectral Inversion Network-Based Detection Method of Oil Contamination on Airport Runway

Sensors
Aircraft failures can result in the leakage of fuel, hydraulic oil, or other lubricants onto the runway during landing or taxiing. Damage to fuel tanks or oil lines during hard landings or accidents can also contribute to these spills.

Shipping Through Sea Ice: Impacts on Marine Habitats and Best Practices [PDF]

, 2017
As the result of Arctic climate change and an increase in shipping season length, there is a growing interest in Arctic shipping operations. Sea ice serves as an important habitat for marine mammals, therefore, shipping through sea ice could lead to ...

Surfactant‐Enhanced Electrospun Nanofiber Filters for Efficient Viral and Bacterial Inactivation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous filters functionalized with surfactants (CTAB, CPC, and SDS) were developed for air filtration applications. The PAN nanofiber mats enable efficient particulate matter capture while simultaneously providing antimicrobial and antiviral activity against bacteria (E. coli and S.

Oil Spillage and Heavy Metals Toxicity Risk in the Niger Delta, Nigeria

Journal of Health and Pollution, 2018
Background. Heavy metals are known to elicit toxic effects which negatively affect human health. Crude oil is known to contain heavy metals and oil spills contaminate the environment and can result in human exposures to heavy metals. As the seat of crude

Gleaning the Rocky Shore? 2500 Years of Coastal Resource Use at Red Bluff 1, GunaiKurnai Country, SE Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

Production and Formulation of Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 Cell Powders for Marine Oil Spill Bioremediation

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Oil spills pose severe threats to marine ecosystems and coastal communities. Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2, a marine bacterium with superior hydrocarbon‐degrading capabilities, emerges as a promising agent for bioremediation. This study identified an economical growth substrate for A.
