Commercial Sponges as A Novel Technology for Crude Oil Removal from Seawater and Industrial Wastewater: A Review

Abstract: The global use of crude oil for energy applications has increased during the last decades, leading to an extensive release of oil into the environment as well. Thus, contamination deriving from oil spills and industrial wastewater has been recognized as one of the major environmental issues, imposing a serious threat to both human and marine ecosystem health. Treatment of contamination and pollution caused by crude oil constitutes a quite challenging and elaborate process. Among the conventional technologies a… Show more

“…We also investigated the performance of RFCs in oil capture due to their high porosity, hydrophobic character, and magnetic responsiveness, which enables easy retrieval using an extremal magnetic field. Oil spills in the ocean or fresh water sources have major, long-lasting impacts on the marine ecosystem and coastal environment. , Therefore, it is essential to develop environmentally friendly and low-cost solid sorbents that can be easily recovered following oil uptake. The incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles in porous materials has been actively investigated for environmental remediation. , , However, most of these approaches involve rather elaborate, multistep syntheses to render the materials magnetic. In this sense, our approach to preparing RFCs presents significant advantages due to the ease of their synthesis, efficient mass transport, and improved kinetics, along with a high and well-dispersed iron content.…”
