Dyes are led into water bodies by effluents from textile, printing and cosmetic industries whereas oil enters water due to spillages during oil refinery operations. A single solution to remove both these pollutants was difficult to find since while dyes dissolve in water, oil doesn’t.

New membrane to help remove oil, dyes from industrial waste waternna, leader of research team and assistant professor at IIT-Guwahati, while speaking to India Science Wire. The findings have been published in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. <span>Dyes are led into water bodies by effluents from textile, printing and cosmetic industries whereas oil enters water due to spillages during oil refinery operations. A single solution to remove both these pollutants was difficult to find since while dyes dissolve in water, oil doesn’t. The team sought to tackle the problem by developing a membrane using graphene oxide, cotton fibre and dopamine, an organic chemical, which is more known for its functions as a hormone a Summary
