The original version of the Article contained an error by omission, where a contextually relevant article was not cited. The below Reference has been added and is listed as Reference 19.
- Baig, U. & Dastageer, M. A. Fabrication of photo-responsive mesh membrane with surface-engineered wettability for oil–water separation and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Membranes 13(3):302 (2023)
As a result of the changes, the References have been renumbered.
Additionally, in the Introduction section,
“In this study, Titania (TiO_2_) nanoparticles (NPs) were chosen as a coating material for the fabrication of super-oleophobic (under water) and super-hydrophilic (in-air) mesh membrane due to its exceptional super-hydrophilicity, high stability, cheap cost, and commercial availability.”
now reads:
“In this study, based on our previous findings^19^, Titania (TiO_2_) nanoparticles (NPs) were chosen as a coating material for the fabrication of super-oleophobic (under water) and super-hydrophilic (in-air) mesh membrane due to its exceptional super-hydrophilicity, high stability, cheap cost, and commercial availability, in order to determine the environmental impacts of Titania NPs-coated mesh membrane fabrication process using life cycle assessment (LCA).”
In the Experimental methods section, under the subheading “Mesh membrane fabrication and characterization”,
“The mesh (stainless-steel; SS) used for this study was acquired from TWP Inc USA and Titania NPs (particle size 10–20 nm) were acquired from Sigma Aldrich (USA).”
now reads:
“The Titania NPs-coated mesh membrane was fabricated by the same method as described in our previous study^19^. The mesh (stainless-steel; SS) used for this study was acquired from TWP Inc USA and Titania NPs (particle size 10-20 nm) were acquired from Sigma Aldrich (USA).”
Finally, in the Conclusion section,
“Under-water super oleophobic and in-air super hydrophilic Titania NPs-coated mesh membrane was manufactured by spray coating of Titania NPs on SS mesh and then calcining the membrane at 500 °C.”
now reads:
“Under-water super oleophobic and in-air super hydrophilic Titania NPs-coated mesh membrane was manufactured by spray coating of Titania NPs on SS mesh and then calcining the membrane at 500 °C, and the life cycle assessment (LCA) was used in order to evaluate the environmental impacts of the Titania NPs-coated mesh membrane fabrication process for the oil remediation application.”
