Advances in Oil-Water Separation Summary

Advances in Oil-Water Separation: A Complete Guide for Physical, Chemical, and Biochemical Processes by Papita Das (Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, IndiabrDirector, School of Advanced Studies in Industrial Pollution Control Engineering, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West bengal, India)

Advances in Oil-Water Separation: A Complete Guide for Physical, Chemical, and Biochemical Processes discusses a broad variety of chemical, physical and biochemical processes, including skimming, membrane separation, adsorption, onsite chemical reactions, burning and usage of suitable microbial strains for onsite degradation of oil. It critically reviews all current developments in oil-water separation processes and technologies, identifies gaps and illuminates the scope for future research and development in the field. This book provides researchers, engineers and environmental professionals working in oil recovery and storage with solutions for disposal of waste oil and separation of oil from water in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly way. As the book provides a complete state-of-art overview on oil-water separation technologies, it will also ease literature searches on oil-water separation technologies.
