Due to the high concentration of various toxic and hazardous pollutants, industrial wastewaters have posed increasing threats. Water reclamation has recently received attention by using one-dimensional nanostructured materials such as electrospun nanofibrous membranes (ENMs). ENMs exhibit numerous advantageous properties, including a high surface area, substantial porosity, robust mechanical strength, and the ability to control surface morpHology. ENMs are promising candidates for efficient and environmentally sustainable water purification solutions. This review examines the recent advances in the use of ENMs for the treatment of contaminated water, in which the types of nanofibers that can be used to remove pollutants present in industrial wastewater (WW) are separately described. We aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic and encourage stakeholders and researchers to use ENMs in industrial WW treatment, which will help create a reliable water source for future generations.

The growing demand for sustainable food packaging has driven innovation in electrospun nanofibers integrated with bioactive phenolic acids. This review highlights the pivotal role of phenolic acids—such as tannic acid, gallic acid, and tea polyphenols—in enhancing the functionality of biodegradable polymer matrices (e.g., PLA, PVA, chitosan) made from electrospun nanofibers. These compounds improve mechanical strength, thermal stability, and barrier properties through hydrogen bonding and covalent interactions, while their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities effectively combat oxidative spoilage and microbial contamination. Case studies demonstrate their efficacy in extending the shelf life of perishable foods, including fruits, meats, and seafood. Controlled release mechanisms, achieved via advanced electrospinning techniques like coaxial or multilayer architectures, ensure sustained bioactivity. Challenges in optimizing release kinetics and scaling production are discussed. By bridging material innovation with practical food preservation needs, phenolic acid-functionalized nanofibers emerge as a versatile, eco-friendly solution for next-generation active packaging systems.

The rapid growth of electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and stationary energy storage systems, coupled with the limited lifespan of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), has led to a substantial increase in spent LIBs. In response to the urgent demand for resource recovery and environmental protection, the recycling of spent LIBs, particularly the separation of anode and cathode materials, which are the two most significant components, has become a critical area of research. Froth flotation offers a promising method by selectively separating particles based on differences in surface hydrophobicity, without altering the structure or chemical composition of the materials involved. The intrinsic hydrophobicity differences between anode and cathode materials (e.g., graphite and lithium metal oxides) make flotation an attractive technique for the recycling of spent LIBs. Hence, this review first outlines the fundamental principles of froth flotation, with particular emphasis on the roles of flotation agents—collectors, frothers, and dispersants—in modifying the surface hydrophobicity of various electrode materials. The interplay between flotation agents and the separation efficiency of anode and cathode components is examined in depth. However, several factors, such as the presence of organic binders and additives, residual lithium in the discharged anode, and surface degradation of electrode materials, may impede effective separation. Accordingly, this review further explores a range of pretreatment strategies designed to restore electrode surface properties and enhance flotation performance. This paper provides a comprehensive perspective of flotation-based separation in spent LIBs recycling, offering valuable insights and practical implications for advancing large-scale, efficient, and sustainable recovery technologies.

Studies on the impact of liquid drops, particularly over the last twenty years, have attracted the researchers’ attention due to the demand for improved predictive accuracy across various industries. This paper provides a review of existing research on mass and momentum interactions, as well as phase changes, that occur when drops impact a liquid surface. Initially, the classification of impact liquids and the non-dimensional numbers utilized in drop impact are introduced. Subsequently, the experimental, numerical, and theoretical methods employed in past research are discussed. These findings are obtained by careful analysis of drop collision phenomena. This analysis includes the formation of the crown sheet, jet, and various splash types that occur during high-velocity impacts. Each of these phenomena is examined regarding the fundamental physical mechanisms involved, as well as the relevant predictive correlations and models. Based on the liquid depth in which the droplet impacts, the studies are categorized into thin film, liquid film, shallow pool, and deep pool, and this study covers all four types. Although considerable efforts have been made in the past to comprehend and characterize these phenomena, there remains a substantial gap in past research, particularly concerning multiple drop impacts and phase changes during impingement on liquid surfaces. Therefore, this article provides an in-depth review of experimental, numerical, and theoretical models of drop impact on liquid surfaces, which includes a comprehensive understanding of their underlying physics in all these phenomena.

The efficient exploitation of low-permeability tight reservoirs is essential to mitigating the global energy crisis. However, the development of such resources remains technically challenging owing to low fluid mobility, pronounced heterogeneity, and the limited effectiveness of conventional chemical flooding techniques. This review introduces the concept of nano−/micro-engineered non-homogeneous complex fluids (NHCFs)—tailored fluid systems designed to modulate interfacial behavior in porous media—as a transformative approach for Quaternary reservoir recovery. By integrating insights from colloid science, interfacial thermodynamics, and multiscale transport phenomena, we elucidate the underlying mechanisms of NHCFs, including wettability alteration, targeted interfacial regulation, and capillary–permeability coupling. This work synthesizes recent advances in experimental, mechanistic, and theoretical studies of NHCFs for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), establishing critical links between pore-scale interfacial processes and reservoir-scale flow dynamics. Furthermore, we propose redefining Quaternary recovery as a form of precision interfacial engineering aimed at mobilizing trapped oil in low-flow regions. Finally, the review addresses emerging directions in advanced interfacial control, intelligent multiscale regulation of NHCFs, superfluid-like flow enhancement, and unified seepage simulation frameworks, outlining a pathway for the development of next-generation EOR technologies.

Mineral precipitation in porous media is an important process that controls the evolution of physical-chemical properties of many natural and engineered systems. This review aims to provide an overview of the status quo understandings of this process and a perspective on future research needs. We reviewed the fundamentals of the thermodynamic and kinetic theories of nucleation and crystal growth, and the key factors (e.g., substrate properties and pore sizes) that control mineral precipitation in porous media. In particular, we focused on how local reactive transport conditions dictate the extent and spatial distribution of mineral precipitates in flowing supersaturated solutions, mixing dominated systems, and coupled mineral dissolution and precipitation systems. Moreover, the review summarizes constitutive relations that have been used to model precipitation-driven alteration in bulk properties such as permeability, diffusivity and mineral reactivity, as well as their applicability and limitations. While there have been exciting developments in experimental and modeling efforts in improved understanding, some outstanding research questions require dedicated future investigations. They include more rigorous descriptions of emerging precipitation phenomena such as oscillatory zoning during the precipitation of solid solutions, considerations of the coupling between geochemical and geomechanical processes with precipitation induced cracking being a worthy example, and the upscaling of fine scale process and properties (e.g., confinement, multiphase flow dynamics) in to macroscopic predictive models. Overall, this review highlights the importance, advances and challenges of improved understanding of mineral precipitation in fractured porous media.

Chemical flooding is an effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method, particularly in oil-wet, low-permeability, and high-viscosity conditions. However, its application is limited by high costs and environmental risks due to chemical losses. As an innovative technology, capsule-based chemical delivery enables targeted chemical release in residual oil-rich areas to significantly reduce the chemical losses. Currently, this technology remains in its early development stages with key challenges, including maintaining capsule stability in high-temperature, high-salinity environments, ensuring long-distance delivery with minimal loss in porous media, and controlling release rates in complex reservoirs. However, advances of capsules in fields like biomedicine and food processing can offer valuable insights. This review refines progress from these areas to address these challenges. It first summarizes strategies for capsule material selection, structural design, and preparation techniques, focusing on their applicability for oil displacement. The impacts of reservoir environments on capsule movement, rupture, adhesion, and blockage are also analyzed, along with approaches to minimize losses and enhance targeting. Triggering mechanisms of capsule release in oilfield environments, transmembrane pathways of chemicals, and description methods for regulating release dynamics are further discussed. Finally, strategies and perspectives for capsule-based chemical EOR are presented. This article provides guidance and broader insights for the applications of capsule in oilfield and other specialized environments.

Oscillatory gas supply (OGS) has emerged as an effective method to enhance gas-liquid mass transfer in industrial applications by minimizing bubble size at submerged orifices. Compared to traditional steady gas supply (SGS), OGS facilitates premature bubble detachment from microporous diffusers, thereby reducing coalescence and enhancing transport phenomena. This improvement leads to lower energy consumption across sectors such as environmental engineering and chemical processing. This review critically examines the feasibility and applications of OGS in multiphase flow systems, including wastewater treatment, flotation separation, algae cultivation, and gas stripping. We first elucidate the mechanisms that contribute to bubble size reduction via OGS, followed by a comparative assessment of three technologies for generating oscillating airflow: solenoid valve, loudspeaker, and fluidic oscillator. Key factors influencing OGS performance, particularly oscillation frequency and amplitude, are discussed for their momentous role in producing smaller bubbles. Our findings demonstrate that OGS-generated microbubbles not only boost reaction efficiency and lower energy consumption but also reduce chemical usage and the footprint of treatment facilities. We conclude with insights and potential directions for advancing OGS technology, emphasizing that while enhancing gas-liquid mass transfer through OGS presents a promising approach, the development of stable oscillation-generating equipment is crucial for optimizing process performance.
