Abstract
regulating surface wettability, designing pore structures and reducing crude oil viscosity. Meanwhile, the separation mechanisms, construction ideas, fabrication strategies, separation performances, practical applications, and the advantages and disadvantages of special wettable adsorption separation materials are also analyzed. Finally, the challenges and future prospects for adsorption separation of high-viscosity crude oil/water mixtures are expounded.
