With a new, loosey-goosey regulatory environment on its way, Exxon Mobil announced some major investments in the U.S. today. Thankfully, scientists have made a recent breakthrough that could help ...
At the recent World Shale Oil & Gas Summit, Abtech Holdings Glenn Rink was handed the award for the best technology innovator of 2012. Their amazing technology? A sponge. Fracking is massively water ...
We may have our best tool yet for fighting oil spills as researchers from Argonne National Lab have developed a new material that can absorb up to 90 times its weight in oil. The new technology works ...
A Northwestern Engineering-led team has developed a highly porous sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the sponge could be ...
An oil-catching sponge, developed at the University of Toronto and Imperial, could help thwart water contamination from offshore oil drilling. Drilling and fracking for oil under the seabed produces ...
A sponge coated with a paraffin-like material can suck up 99 per cent of oil from water at low temperatures, offering a solution to crude oil spills in Arctic environments. Such spills happen with ...
A team from Northwestern University has developed a highly porous smart sponge that can selectively soak up oil spills in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the ...
A new ‘smart sponge’ designed to clean up oil spills in the ocean has been developed at Northwestern University, Illinois in the U.S. The sponge is described as highly porous and works by selectively ...
A Northwestern Engineering-led team has developed a highly porous sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the sponge could be ...
Drilling and fracking for oil under the seabed produces 100 billion barrels of oil-contaminated wastewater every year by releasing tiny oil droplets into surrounding water. Most efforts to remove oil ...
A Northwestern-led team has developed a reusable sponge designed to clean up oil spills. The OHM sponge can be used dozens of times and can recover oil for future use, according to the research ...
