DESCRIPTION

Oil pollutions have been generated by the petroleum, steel, and textile industries and the frequent oil spills during oil transportation and have been becoming critical global environmental and economic. Recently, scientists from China introduced micro-/nano architectures into MOF membrane accelerate oil-water separation. This membrane exhibits high separation efficiency and chemical stability.
