Oil Skimming

In the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill we explored several innovative methods to separate oil from water. Now a team from MIT has developed a new technique for magnetically separating oil and water that could be used to clean up oil spills in the future. The method is said to be so efficient that the recovered oil can even be reused to offset the cost of the clean-up....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/mit-develops-a-way-to-magnetically-separate-oil-from-water/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
