Tweet of the week – separating oil and water


Our tweet of the week has been selected from @ChemistryWorld with new ways to separate oil and water.

Our eyes were drawn in by this funky video but there’s a lot more to this tweet.

Papers from research groups in Canada and China offer two different means of achieving this essential but tricky task.  You can read the original article here on the Chemistry World website: https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/oil-and-water-part-ways-with-new-separation-methods/2500004.article

We can help with glass funnels and other associated laboratory glassware of course if you’re working on tasks like this!
