Since the 1940s, over 25 major oil spills have occurred worldwide, with six large spills (>700 tons) and four medium spills (7–700 tons) recorded last year alone. 1 Traditional remediation methods, ...

Researchers have developed a robust MXene aerogel using cellulose nanofibers and gold nanoparticles, designed for efficient crude oil spill remediation. The aerogel exhibits high compressive strength, ...

A group of researchers from Concordia University explores how nanotechnology could offer faster, safer, and more effective solutions for coastal oil spill remediation. The study was published in the ...

Floatable beads made from chitosan and cellulose acetate and enhanced with bentonite were engineered to effectively clean oil from water. The beads showed good oil adsorption capacity while remaining ...
