“…It was found that, the oil sorption capacity of sorbent materials produced from kenaf sized-0.04 cm 2 and 0.8 cm 2 were comparable to Sisal (6.4 g/g). Most importantly, in this study kenaf-sized 1.70 cm 2 produced sorption material that has superior oil sorption capacity than Sisal (6.4 g/g), Coir (5.4 g/g) and loofa sponge (4.6 g/g) [5]. A one-way ANOVA test (SPSS Version 21) was conducted to evaluate the significance of difference for all data in this study.…”

“…It was found that longer absorption time did not significantly affect the absorption and saturation value of the sorbents. The initial and final mass of the sample was recorded and used in the calculation of the absorption and saturation values.The absorption value was calculated as the ratio of sorbent material to dry sorbent mass as illustrated in Equation 1 [5].where, S t -Total mass of sorbent samples (g) S 0 -Dry sorbent mass (g) The saturation value which indicates the maximum absorption capacity of the sorbents was calculated by using Equation 2 [10].where, W 1 -Initial Weight of the mat sample (g) W 2 -Weight of the mat sample after time T (g) T -Time (min) …”

Abstract-Oil spills have tremendous effects on environment, ecology, economy, and the society as a whole. There are several techniques being used for oil spill cleanup i.e in-situ burning of oil, mechanical tools (booms and skimmers), chemical dispersants, steam flushing and also by using natural fibers as sorbents. In this research, oil sorbent material was produced from kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) fibers. Three sorbent materials were made from of various fiber particle sizes and tested for their oil absorbent properties. The results showed that sorbent produced from a 1.70 cm 2 -sized kenaf fibers achieved the highest absorption value of 8.2327 g/g and saturation value of 0.0385 N/Mins respectively. In this study, the 1.70 cm 2 -sized sorbent also demonstrated the strongest fiber bonding compared to those of 0.04 cm 2 -sized and 0.80 cm 2 -sized sorbents. This was confirmed by microstructure analysis conducted using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The oil sorbent materials produced in this study were found to have superior absorption value compared to other fiber-based oil sorbents such as Sisal (Agave sisalana), Coir (Cocos nucifera) and loofa sponge (Luffa cylindrica). Index terms-Sorbent materials, kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus L., oil spill. I. INTRODUCTIONPollution resulting from oil spills poses severe environmental problems around the world. The oil spills pollution not only affects the environment with regard to its hazard but the clean up processes could be costly. In the year 1997, it was estimated that more than USD 136000/tonne spilled were spent for cleaning oil spills in the US alone [1]. The processes involved in cleaning oil spill were normally very complicated and not environmentally friendly [2]. The treatment for oil spills including chemical, mechanical and biological treatments [3]. In mechanical treatment, absorbent of synthetic or natural materials is an effective cost saving option [4].Despite their superior absorption qualities, synthetic materials have low biodegradability. Therefore natural based absorbent material is preferred due to its non toxicity and excellent biodegradability. In recent decades, natural sorbents were produced from natural biomass such as cotton (Gossypium hirsutium), kapok (Ceiba pentandra) [4], Sisal (Agave sisalana), Coir (Cocos nucifera) and loofa sponge (Luffa cylindrica) [5]. This study aims to produce sorbent material from kenaf fiber and to assess its absorption Manuscript received May 6, 2014; revised October 14, 2014 capacity. Kenaf tree (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is a plant that originated from Africa. The second most important natural fiber after cotton, kenaf is an environmentally friendly plant certified by the Kyoto Protocol for it is obtained from renewable and recyclable source [6]. In Malaysian context, the National Kenaf and Tobacco Board are extensively promoting the application of kenaf as feedstock in manufacturing industries [7].The evaluation of kenaf-based sorbent properties in treating oil spills and waste water treatment are scarc...
