A facile scalable hydrophobic biocomposite for oil spill cleanup
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hydrophobic biocomposite (HBC) has been developed using a waste wood residue for circumventing oil spill issues. The ease of removal, regeneration and recyclability is demonstrated.

Oil spill cleanup by structured fibre assembly
Oil is one of the important sources of energy in the modern industrial world. It has to be transported from the source of production to many places across the globe through oceans and inland transport. During transportation the chance of oil spillage over the water body occurs due to accidents or by deliberate action during war time and this causes environmental pollution. Sorbents made from st...
متن کاملOptimization of Hydrophobic Meshes for Oil Spill Recovery
Widespread use of petrochemicals often leads to accidental releases in aquatic environments, occasionally with disastrous results. Recent advances in the understanding of selectively wetting surfaces have led to the development of functionalized steel meshes with hydrophobic and oleophilic surfaces. These meshes can perform oil/water separation in situ, continuously, via capillary action. The g...
متن کاملA Preliminary Study of Biodegradable Waste as Sorbent Material for Oil-Spill Cleanup
Oil spill constitutes a major source of fresh and seawater pollution as a result of accidental discharge from tankers, marine engines, and underwater pipes. Therefore, the need for cost-effective and environmental friendly sorbent materials for oil spill cleanup cannot be overemphasized. The present work focuses on the preliminary study of empty palm fruit bunch fibre as a promising sorbent mat...
متن کاملA porous covalent porphyrin framework with exceptional uptake capacity of saturated hydrocarbons for oil spill cleanup.
A highly porous porphyrin-based organic polymer, PCPF-1, was constructed via homo-coupling reaction of the custom-designed porphyrin ligand, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-bromophenyl)porphyrin. PCPF-1 possesses a large BET surface area of over 1300 m(2) g(-1) (Langmuir surface area of over 2400 m(2) g(-1)) and exhibits strong hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 135°, and these features afford ...
متن کاملMicrostructures of superhydrophobic plant leaves - inspiration for efficient oil spill cleanup materials.
The cleanup of accidental oil spills in water is an enormous challenge; conventional oil sorbents absorb large amounts of water in addition to oil and other cleanup methods can cause secondary pollution. In contrast, fresh leaves of the aquatic ferns Salvinia are superhydrophobic and superoleophilic, and can selectively absorb oil while repelling water. These selective wetting properties are op...
