“…Conventional countermeasures to massive oil spill accidents include degradation with chemical dispersants, in situ burning, and vacuum suction. [ 5,6 ] However, all these methods have been proved to be expensive, relatively ineffi cient, and even bring about secondary pollution. More importantly, the selective removal of oil from water is highly desired in order to reclaim the precious oil resources.…”

The increasing number of oil spill accidents have a catastrophic impact on our aquatic environment. Recently, special wettable materials used for the oil/water separation have received significant research attention. Due to their opposing affinities towards water and oil, i.e., hydrophobic and oleophilic, or hydrophilic and oleophobic, such materials can be used to remove only one phase from the oil/water mixture, and simultaneously repel the other phase, thus achieving selective oil/water separation. Moreover, the synergistic effect between the surface chemistry and surface architecture can further promote the superwetting behavior, resulting in the improved separation efficiency. Here, recently developed materials with special wettability for selective oil/water separation are summarized and discussed. These materials can be categorized based on their oil/water separating mechanisms, i.e., filtration and absorption. In each section, representative studies will be highlighted, with emphasis on the materials wetting properties and innovative aspects. Finally, challenges and future research directions in this emerging and promising research field will be briefly described.

This review covers selected 2015 articles on the biological effects of pollutants and human physical disturbances on marine and estuarine plants, animals, ecosystems and habitats. The review, based largely on journal articles, covers field and laboratory measurement activities (bioaccumulation of contaminants, field assessment surveys, toxicity testing and biomarkers) as well as pollution issues of current interest including endocrine disrupters, emerging contaminants, wastewater discharges, dredging and disposal, etc. Special emphasis is placed on effects of oil spills and marine debris due largely to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. Several topical areas reviewed in the past (ballast water and ocean acidification) were dropped this year. The focus of this review is on effects, not pollutant fate and transport. There is considerable overlap across subject areas (e.g.some bioaccumulation papers may be cited in other topical categories). Please use keyword searching of the text to locate related but distributed papers. Use this review only as a guide and please consult the original papers before citing them.

“…Unfortunately, many remediation methods (including the application of chemical dispersants, in situ burning, and vacuum suction, etc.) can lead to secondary pollution or may be ineffective, too expensive, or simply impractical for use in certain environments or conditions . Thus, there remains a critical need for innovative solutions and strategies to (i) remove oil from water after environmental contamination has occurred, and (ii) separate oil from water more effectively (e.g., prior to the discharge of aqueous waste streams) to reduce the likelihood of environmental exposure.…”

We report layer-by-layer approaches to the design of superhydrophobic and superoleophilic substrates for the filtration-or absorption-based separation of bulk oil from oil/ water mixtures. Fabrication of covalently cross-linked, nanoporous polymer multilayers on mesh substrates yielded superhydrophobic and superoleophilic porous media that allow oil to pass, but completely prevent the passage of bulk water. This approach can be used to promote the filtration of oil/water mixtures, and these film-coated substrates can be bent and physically manipulated without affecting oil-and water-wetting properties. Fabrication on three-dimensional macroporous polymer pads yielded flexible objects that float on water and absorb oil at contaminated air/water interfaces. This approach permits oil to be recovered by squeezing or rinsing with solvent and the reuse of these materials without decreases in performance. These pads can also absorb oil from simulated seawater, brine, and other media representative of marine or industrial contexts where oil contamination can occur. Our results address issues associated with the design of polymerbased coatings for the separation, removal, and collection of oil from oil-contaminated water. With further development, this approach could provide low-energy alternatives to conventional remediation methods or yield new strategies that can be implemented in ways that are impractical using current technologies.
