U of T-developed sponge removes oil droplets from wastewater

摘要

Researchers at the University of Toronto announced the development of a micro-cellular foam sponge that can remove oil droplets from wastewater in as little as 10 minutes and with 90+efficiency. Spearheaded by U of T grad student, Pavani Cherukupally, the oil-loving sponge can also be re-used after wringing it out and cleaning it with a solvent.
