“…The free oil in the wastewater effluent of edible oil mills can be investigated as a promising source for different applications. In another work, polystyrene microfilters have been used for recovery of the dispersed oil from wastewater using the coalescing filtration [169]. The obtained results confirmed that the recovered oil using coalescing filtration is a cheap and available source for economic biodiesel production.…”

Nanofibrous structures offer a lot of fascinating features due to large specific surface area. This makes them promising for a wide range of applications, most specifically water treatment. This new generation of highly porous membranes exhibits great prospect to be used in various separation applications due to their distinguished features such as remarkably high porosity (≥90%) and interconnected 3D pore structure. As compared with the conventional techniques, Electrospinning has been highlighted for developing unique porous membranes. Electrospun nanofibrous membranes have been more and more investigated to a lot of advanced water treatment purposes. This chapter reviews the updates on electrospun nanofibrous membranes with a particular prominence in recent accomplishments, bottlenecks, and future perspectives in water treatment. To start, the basic principles of electrospinning are discussed. Next, past and recent efforts for fabricating electrospun MF membranes for various applications are reviewed. The application of electrospun nanofibers as the scaffold for TFC (thin-film composite) membranes in the pressure-and osmotic-membrane processes is then introduced. The new application of electrospun nanofibrous membranes for the thermally-driven MD (membrane distillation) process for water treatment as well as strategies for performance enhancement is discussed. To finish, conclusions and perspectives are stated according to recent developments.

“…which is also difficult to be removed because it is emulsified with lipids (Pinzi et al, 2014). Waste oil recovered from edible oil mills effluents through the application of novel technologies such as electrospun nanofibrous filters (Sundaramurthy et al, 2014) can also be considered as a low-cost, widely available, emerging, and interesting source for biodiesel production (Shirazi et al, 2014a).…”

HIGHLIGHTSThis article fully discusses the recent trends in the production of one the most attractive types of biofuels, i.e., biodiesel.with a focus on the existing obstacles for its large scale production. Moreover, recent innovations/improvements under three categories of upstream, mainstream, and downstream processes are also presented. Upstream strategies are mainly focused on seeking more sustainable oil feedstocks and/or enhancing the quality of waste-oriented ones. The mainstream strategies section highlights the numerous attempts made to enhance agitation efficiency including chemical and/or mechanical strategies. Finally, the innovative downstream strategies basically dealing with 1) separation of biodiesel and glycerin, 2) purification of biodiesel and glycerin, and 3) improving the characteristics of the produced fuel, are comprehensively reviewed.

Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic functionalized electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes with water repellence, breathability, and oil‐sorption and oil–water separation properties were achieved with a combination of an electrospinning technique and the chemical vapor deposition of dichlorodimethyl silane. The samples were laterally characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, water contact angle measurement, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The maximum water contact angle value was 152.0 ± 2.5° for the PVDF nanofibrous membranes with 500 μL of deposited silane (PMS2) obtained under certain conditions. The PMS2 membranes showed 100.0, 93.7, 23.3, 35.0, and 100.0% separation efficiencies for n‐hexane, kerosene, crude oil, frying oil, and toluene, respectively. The understudy membrane exhibited reasonable waterproofness and remarkable breathability (water vapor transition rate = 215.21 g/m2.h). Moreover, the superhydrophobic and superoleophilic nanofibrous membranes also showed good reusability, stability, moderate water‐repellent properties, breathability, antifouling properties, and oil–water separation ability after several cycles. These properties confirmed potential in feasible applications, including protective cloths and in the purification of oil‐polluted water. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
