| Abstract | Separation of oil from water is a challenging task. Here we report a titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle coated stainless steel mesh filter for easy and efficient separation of oil from water. The TiO2 coating was deposited on the stainless steel mesh using spark deposition technique. The micro-nano structures of titanium dioxide surface on the stainless steel mesh is characterized by scanning electron microscope and surface wettability is investigated by using a sessile drop contact angle method. After coating with TiO2, the developed filters showed superoleophilic and hydrophobic nature and demonstrated efficient separation of oil from water when a mixture of oil in water was allowed to pass through the filters |
