TI  - Facile Preparation of Durable and Eco-Friendly Superhydrophobic Filter with 
      Self-Healing Ability for Efficient Oil/Water Separation.

AB  - The superhydrophobic feature is highly desirable for oil/water separation (OWS) 
      operation to achieve excellent separation efficiency. However, using hazardous 
      materials in fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces is always the main concern. 
      Herein, superhydrophobic filters were prepared via an eco-friendly approach by 
      anchoring silica particles (SiO(2)) onto the cotton fabric surface, followed by 
      surface coating using natural material-myristic acid via a dip coating method. 
      Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was used in the synthesis of SiO(2) particles 
      from the silica sol. In addition, the impact of the drying temperature on the 
      wettability of the superhydrophobic filter was investigated. Moreover, the 
      pristine cotton fabric and as-prepared superhydrophobic cotton filters were 
      characterised based on Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray 
      photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy coupled with 
      energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and contact angle (CA) 
      measurement. The superhydrophobic cotton filter was used to perform OWS using an 
      oil-water mixture containing either chloroform, hexane, toluene, xylene or 
      dichloroethane. The separation efficiency of the OWS using the superhydrophobic 
      filter was as high as 99.9%. Moreover, the superhydrophobic fabric filter also 
      demonstrated excellent durability, chemical stability, self-healing ability and 
      reusability.
