A Study on the Efficiency of ZIF-8 Nano-Particles for Oil Spills Cleanup

17 PAGES (3659 WORDS) Petroleum Engineering Paper

This paper will aim at shedding light on the efficiency of zif-8 nano-particles. It will show that zif-8 can be a leading tool in water treatment having a large surface area, high adsorption capacity and thermal stability. Zif-8 was also used to enhance characteristics of several materials such as MF-ZIF-8 sponge composite to enhance hydrophobicity for the selective sorption of oil. Also, its treatment was studied on electrospun nylon 6,6 NFM to enhance oil spill adsorption and we compared NiO-PTA/Al2O3 catalyst with NiO-PTA/ZIF-8 catalyst.
