“…The burning of crop straw leads to inefficient utilization of agricultural waste and an increase in air pollution, which has drawn attention in various parts of the world to develop a proper plan for managing crop straw. Over the past few years, especially since 2015, different international agencies have proposed many avenues to utilize crop straw to minimize crop straw related issues [65].…”

“…However, the separation efficiencies were not revealed in the study. Bioinspired silica nanoparticles have been synthesized from many biomass resources [ 135 ], such as rice husk [ 136 , 137 ], sugarcane bagasse [ 138 ], bamboo sticks and leaves [ 139 ], palm kernel shell [ 140 ], etc. Lignin-derived nanomaterials [ 141 ] are also potential precursors of nanofiber membranes for oily wastewater treatment in the future.…”

Oil separation from water becomes a challenging issue in industries, especially when large volumes of stable oil/water emulsion are discharged. The present short review offers an overview of the recent developments in the nanofiber membranes used in oily wastewater treatment. This review notes that nanofiber membranes can efficiently separate the free-floating oil, dispersed oil and emulsified oil droplets. The highly interconnected pore structure nanofiber membrane and its modified wettability can enhance the permeation flux and reduce the fouling. The nanofiber membrane is an efficient separator for liquid–liquid with different densities, which can act as a rejector of either oil or water and a coalescer of oil droplets. The present paper focuses on nanofiber membranes’ production techniques, nanofiber membranes’ modification for flux and separation efficiency improvement, and the future direction of research, especially for practical developments.

“…RHA is the main studied material among the AWAs. Several reviews have been done on the production of SNPs from AWAs [36], [37], however, most of the reviews focus only on single crop residues. Agricultural wastes consist also of food and livestock wastes.…”

The global rapid population growth is leading to accelerated food production thus accelerating the generation of agricultural wastes (AWs). Among the AWs management strategies is the valorisation of the AWs into useful products such as the production of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) which are useful in the road construction sector. Production of useful SNPs from AWs for the road construction industry is considered sustainable road construction, as not only does it reduces the carbon dioxide footprint from similar materials such as cement, but it is also cheap and readily available to low-income countries such as Kenya and Zambia. SNPs are of great importance in the production of high-strength materials such as stabilized soil and asphalt of significant strength than the conventional stabilised soil/asphalt with ordinary Portland cement. In this review, recent progress on AWs corresponding ashes (AWAs) with significant silica is studied. The production of SNPs from this AWAs is examined in detail concerning their synthesis methods for high purity SNPs, structure, phase, morphology, sizes, and their application in soil and asphalt stabilisation in road construction. The use of AWs to produce SNPs for use in the stabilisation of soils, bitumen, and asphalt for roads construction is promising, however, there is a need for further research on the large-scale production of SNPs from AWAs.
