I am looking for articles, coferences, publications or thesis concerning the capture of solid oleophilic polymers in solution in water.
Thanks
Thierry Le Blan
There are various methods to capture oleophillic particles from water depending upon the cost ,in mass extraction and maximum sorption capacity and nature of oleophillic droplets .The methods are used as aerogels,sorbents ,gelato on ,nanoparticles,surfactant .Now used as surfactant as biomass as adsorption such as rice husk ,rice husk carbonised as activated carbon,rice husk alkaline,silk worm as cocoon waste at 100 degree C ,chitosan chips micronised ,wood fine fibres ,wood chipsmicronised etc .As in biomass sorbent - adsorption,sir ate material accumulates on the surface of sorbent .Oil molecules need to diffuse on to the Sorbent surface as oil droplets entrapped due to capillary effects so oil to enter into pores of non polar fibrous Sorbent .Also depends on the contact angle of water to surface as less than 90 degree which is hydrophilic .For example rice husk alkaline at ph 12-14 having good adsorption capacity to make bed atleast 3 inch thick to pass through water mixed oleophillic droplets by pump force having temperature at 50 degree centigrade as to entrap the oil particles upto 70% capacity.There are other methods like chitosan micronised to filter by forced pump .The maximum sorption capacity to achieve with nanofibres entrappment .

Thank you very much for your answer. I will read it and the papers carefully and will contact you if I need further information.
Best regards,
Thierry
