In tests, Guo et al. show that the JCM system achieves impressive separation performance, with oil recovery of around 71% and water recovery of roughly 94% – both exceeding 99% purity.

Mustard is the key to a vinaigrette that doesn’t break, thanks to its natural emulsifiers that bind oil and vinegar into a stable suspension. Slowly drizzle in oil while whisking vigorously to create ...

The SCO 1000 is a hybrid skimmer separator designed for oil spills and oil separation in industrial environments. It is a simple, yet effective, solution for removing a wide variety of pollution ...

Discover the hidden ways air and water degrade lubricants and cause unexpected failures in manufacturing operations.

Engineers developed a membrane that filters the components of crude oil by their molecular size, an advance that could dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for crude oil fractionation.

Contrary to the water/oil example, phases in glass melts are not always chemically pure. For instance, borosilicate glass will generally experience phase separation into a “borate-rich” phase and a ...

Routine grease analysis is commonly employed in high-value fleet applications, such as locomotives, automotive robotics, and wind turbines. A straightforward set of screening tests for wear and ...

A Times analysis shows that increasingly complex oil and gas wells now require astonishing volumes of water to fracture the bedrock and release fossil fuels, threatening America’s fragile aquifers.

BLM’s preferred alternative would allow Newfield Exploration Co. to drill all 5,750 oil and gas wells it proposed, over a 16 year period. The project is needed to recover remaining oil and gas with ...
