TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
Very small particles (nanoparticles) are used to dewater oily waste waters generated, for instance, in the removal of oil spills and discharges in the environment. This reduces hazardous waste and provides valuable products. It is a platform technology, which can also be used for the treatment of other contaminants
