A flexible, hydrophobic and oleophilic carbon nanofiber membrane was prepared from electrospinning for cross-flow filtration of water-in-oil emulsion under various operating conditions. Experimental results show that the membrane has a high throughput of clean oil at low pressure. Furthermore, the m...
