Title Highly efficient oil-water separation system using urea-bearing porous organic polymer: A comparative study on oil removal efficiency of mixtures and emulsions
Type JournalPaper
Keywords urea-bearing porous organic polymer
Abstract requirement to develop eco-friendly and stable oil-water (O/W) separators. In this work, the separation process of oil from the O/W mixtures and emulsions was studied by a packed-bed column filled with a combination of urea-bearing porous organic polymer (UPOP), prepared by solvothermal synthetic route, and granular activated carbon (GAC). The urea moieties of UPOP enhance oil removal performance via hydrogen bonding interactions of oil with urea moieties.
