Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed a silica nanoparticles coated cotton fabric that can separate oil from water. The nanoparticles are made from rice husk, an agricultural waste, and can be used to mitigate marine oil pollution. The development of this technology could provide an economical and sustainable solution for separating oil and water mixtures.
