“…Pomelo peel, the byproduct of juice extraction, consists mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin . Amounts of the peel are disposed of as industry waste annually, resulting in a severe environmental problem . Previous studies showed that pomelo peel contained an extensive porous structure in its interior,, which was responsible for the effective adsorption.…”

Recycling of four eutrophicated aquatic plants including Eichhornia crassipes, Herba Lysimachiae, Alternanthera philoxeroides, and Potamogeton crispus as spilled-oil sorbents was investigated. The rough and hydrophobic structures of aquatic plants were observed by scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements. The four plants exhibited superior oil sorption capacities, especially the stalk of Eichhornia crassipes. Such high oil sorption was ascribed to their high capillarity and hydrophobic surface. The aquatic plants absorbed oil to reach adsorption saturation within one minute. The oil sorption capacity was significantly affected by particle size, but was hardly influenced by temperature. The results demonstrated that the aquatic plants could be applied as low-cost and environment-friendly spilled-oil sorbents.

“…Currently, there is growing interest in finding inexpensive, abundant, and effective materials as oil spill sorbents in water, focusing on natural organic sorbents mainly from agriculture ( Figure 2 ). A wide variety of cellulosic materials such as banana fibers [ 27 ], corn stalk [ 25 ], cotton [ 28 ], milkweed fiber [ 29 ] curauna fibers [ 30 ], kapok [ 31 ], luffa [ 32 ], nettle fibers [ 33 ], orange peel [ 34 ], palm fibers [ 35 ], pineapple leaves [ 36 ], pistia leaves and roots [ 37 ], pomelo peel [ 38 ], rice husks [ 39 ], sawdust [ 40 ], wheat straw [ 41 ], sugarcane bagasse [ 42 ], and walnut shell [ 43 ] have shown good results, making them potential candidates for oil spill treatment.…”

Application of Sorbents for Oil Spill Cleanup Focusing on Natural-Based Modified Materials: A Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Conventional synthetic sorbents for oil spill removal are the most widely applied materials, although they are not the optimal choices from an economic and environmental point of view. The use of inexpensive, abundant, non-toxic, biodegradable, and reusable lignocellulosic materials might be an alternative to conventional sorbents, with obvious positive impact on sustainability and circular economy. The objective of this paper was to review reports on the use of natural-based adsorbing materials for the restoration of water bodies threatened by oil spills. The use of raw and modified natural sorbents as a restoration tool, their sorption capacity, along with the individual results in conditions that have been implemented, were examined in detail. Modification methods for improving the hydrophobicity of natural sorbents were also extensively highlighted. Furthermore, an attempt was made to assess the advantages and limitations of each natural sorbent since one material is unlikely to encompass all potential oil spill scenarios. Finally, an evaluation was conducted in order to outline an integrated approach based on the terms of material–environment–economy.
