Molecular Dynamics Study on the Mechanism of Graphene Oxide to Destabilize Oil/Water Emulsion
Tu Lan,Hongbo Zeng,Tian Tang +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the capability of graphene oxide (GO) to destabilize oil-in-water (O/W) and water-inoil (W/O) emulsions was demonstrated.

Yuxi Liu,Chong Tian,Chong Tian,Bin Yan,Qingye Lu,Yijun Xie,Jian Chen,Rajender Gupta,Zhenghe Xu,Steven M. Kuznicki,Qingxia Liu,Hongbo Zeng +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, four types of graphene oxide based composite adsorbents were successfully synthesized by depositing Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and/or magnetic ferrite NPs on GO sheets (denoted as GO, GO-Ag, MGO and MGO-Ag), characterized and applied for the removal of Hg0 for the first time.
Scalable polyzwitterion-polydopamine coating for regenerable oil/water separation and underwater self-cleaning of stubborn heavy oil fouling without pre-hydration.
TL;DR: This approach achieves superior regenerable underwater self-cleaning of stubborn asphaltenes-containing heavy oil fouling without pre-hydration and removal of water residues from heavy oil, with significant implications in many engineering and environmental processes.
