Advances in Oil-Water Separation: A Complete Guide for Physical, Chemical, and Biochemical Processes discusses a broad variety of chemical, physical, and biochemical processes such as skimming, membrane separation, adsorption, onsite chemical reactions, burning, and usage of suitable microbial strains for onsite degradation of oil. It critically reviews all current developments in oil-water separation processes and technologies, identifies gaps, and illuminates the scope for future research and development in the field.

This book provides researchers, engineers, and environmental professionals working in oil recovery, storage, and refineries with solutions for disposal of waste oil and separation of oil from water in a sustainable and environmental-friendly way, that are cost-effective and easy to implement as well. As the book provides a complete state-of-art overview on oil-water separation technologies, it will also ease literature searches on oil-water separation technologies.
