The Opportunity
A collaborative Master's by Research project between CSIRO Manufacturing and Monash University aims to design and optimise the application of a novel spongy super-hydrophobic material for oil spill clean-up through small pilot-scale testing.
Developing materials that are highly efficient at recovering oil to mitigate the environmental impact of oil spills is both crucial and challenging. This project aims to design and optimise the application of a novel spongy super-hydrophobic material for oil spill clean-up through small pilot-scale testing. The ultimate goal is to significantly improve oil filtration efficiency in Oil Spill Response, potentially revolutionising current practices and contributing to environmental sustainability.
A hyper-crosslinked polymer-coated sponge (HPCS) was previously developed and successfully applied by CSIRO Manufacturing to remove oil from oil-in-water emulsions, thereby improving oil spill clean-up processes. This proposed research will advance the technology by scaling up the HPCS production and the filtration process to facilitate its future implementations. The project activities include formulating and fabricating functional sponges, optimizing the filtration process using modelling, conducting system characterisation and preparing research papers for publication.
