Fabrication and Characterization of Nanofibers Membranes using Electrospinning Technology for Oil Removal

Oily wastewater is one of the most challenging streams to deal with especially if the oil exists in emulsified form. In this study, electrospinning method was used to prepare nanofiberous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and study their performance in oil removal. Graphene particles were em...
