“…4 According to reports, the lack of fresh water has become one of the most serious issues facing our world, causing 10,000 deaths on average every day and thousands of other people to suffer. 5 Researchers want to lessen this hazard by using seawater desalination technology to acquire pure freshwater from the most water-rich oceans. One of the most effective, sustainable, and ecologically beneficial methods of desalination is water evaporation powered by solar energy.…”

Ocean pollution is the major concern among all types of pollution. Oil floats on water and moves over aluminium discs considerably more slowly than water does throughout work because oil has a higher viscosity than water. This makes it easier to separate the water and oil. The objective of the present study is to design and develop the oil separator model in order to prevent pollution in ocean. The viscosity difference is the basic inspiration for this research. Oil floats on the surface because water is denser than oil. The qualities of this oil and water provide the foundation for this oil separation operation. The model uses four metal discs connected to a motor shaft to speed up the process of separating oil from water. The 12V DC battery powers the motor. The methods for recovering oil that were previously employed were ineffective and severely damaging to the environment. Burning any oil that had leaked onto the water was one of the most popular techniques. It produces a lot of harmful chemicals, such carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) which is harmful for marine life. The results show that in order to utilise this oil, the oil separator model recovers around 85–90% of the oil, and produces no pollution.

“…The major pollutants in industrial and domestic sewage are oils and heavy metal ions, its treatment methods and techniques is a hot issue in today's research (Hashar et al 2004;Larsen et al 2007;Krapivin and Phillips 2001;Singh and Tiwari 1997).…”

Preparation of amphiphilic composite and removal of oil and hexavalent chromium from wastewater

et al. 2009

A new composite for water treatment was prepared by melt blend for oil and hexavalent chromium absorption. Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) was the matrix, calcinatory Fe 2 O 3 and anion-exchange resin 20197 were the fillers. This composite can suspend in water-oil contact (WOC) and absorb oils and hexavalent chromium in wastewater simultaneously. The absorbencies of composites changed greatly with various ratios of calcinatory Fe 2 O 3 and anion-exchange resin 20197. The results showed that the oil absorbencies increased continuously and hexavalent chromium absorbencies were stepdown as calcinatory Fe 2 O 3 loadings from 13 to 19%. The composite can adsorb oils and hexavalent chromium simultaneously. The optimized proportion of calcinatory Fe 2 O 3 and anion-exchange resin 20197 in composite was found when the absorbencies of oils and hexavalent chromium reaching the maximum simultaneously. This composite is an inexpensive, convenient and high efficiency material for removing oils and hexavalent chromium from wastewater.
