Named after the two-faced Roman god Janus to reflect its dual-purpose design, researchers present a novel membrane system – a Janus channel of membranes (JCM) – capable of simultaneously separating ...

Wastewater from many industries, restaurants, and households, contains stable oil-water emulsions that are challenging to break apart. Membranes can do this separation without using chemicals or large ...

Shiseido has filed a patent for an oil-in-water emulsion composition that aims to improve emulsion stability and provide a more moisturizing feel. The composition includes a copolymer, batyl alcohol, ...

A solar emulsion evaporator built with graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes adapts to oil, salt, and microbes, maintaining clean water production in harsh conditions. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Freshwater ...

Sugarcane runoff offers dual benefits for oil recovery, supplying low-salinity water and reducing environmental impacts from ...

From a technical standpoint, conventional emulsions can be understood as oil-in-water emulsions, whereby the continuous phase is water. Inverse emulsions are the opposite, for example, water-in-oil ...

Emulsions are two-phase systems consisting of a dispersed phase (the droplets or particles) and a continuous phase (liquid diluent like water). In the dispersed phase, droplet size is critically ...
