“…During the extraction, transport, distribution and storage of crude oil and its products, these may be released into the environment in an uncontrolled manner, causing pollution of the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Due to the extent of impact and the adverse effect of oil derivatives on both the inanimate and animate environment, and the limits imposed on their emissions and permissible concentrations in soils and water, the search for effective methods and new materials for the removal of such substances from contaminated sites is extremely important.…”

Environmental pollution with petroleum products has become a major problem worldwide, and is a consequence of industrial growth. The development of sustainable methods for the removal of petroleum substances and their derivatives from aquatic and terrestrial environments and from air has therefore become extremely important today. Advanced technologies and materials dedicated to this purpose are relatively expensive; sorption methods involving mineral sorbents are therefore popular and are widely described in the scientific literature. Mineral materials are easily available, low-cost, universal adsorbents and have a number of properties that make them suitable for the removal of petroleum substances. This review describes recent works on the use of natural, synthetic and modified mineral adsorbents for the removal of petroleum substances and their derivatives from roads, water and air.

“…Cellulose acetate as an independent sorbent with good sorption capacities for oils was demonstrated in Uebe, Paulauskiene & Boikovych (2021). Wool already showed very good sorption properties as a single sorbent material against MDO in Paulauskiene et al (2014), so that it can be stated here that wool and cellulose aerogels complement each other as a composite. To a lesser extent, however, this also applies to the two other natural materials straw and algae.…”

Background With every oil tanker comes the risk of an accident and oil spill. Sorbents are the most suitable means to remove oil spills. Aerogels as sorbents have high porosity and can be made from cellulose from paper waste. The literature does not distinguish between paper and cardboard as sources of cellulose aerogels and little is known about composites of cellulose aerogels consisting of cellulose fibres and chemically untreated, unprocessed fibres or particles of straw, wool, macroalgae or cellulose acetate from cigarette butts. In this study, the sorption properties for marine diesel oil and biodiesel of such aerogels and their regenerative capacity with bioethanol were investigated. Methods Cellulose aerogels were prepared from office paper and cardboard waste without and with chemically untreated algae, straw, wool and cellulose acetate as a composite by freeze drying. All samples were hydrophobised with methylsilane. The density to calculate the porosity and the contact angle were determined. Then the sorption capacity was determined over five cycles of sorption of oil and regeneration with bioethanol. Results The average contact angle of all samples was 125°, indicating hydrophobicity. Paper-based aerogels were found to consistently have higher sorption capacities for biodiesel, marine diesel oil and bioethanol than cardboard-based aerogels. In particular, the wool/cellulose aerogel composite was found to have better sorption capacity for biodiesel, marine diesel oil and bioethanol than all other samples. The cellulose acetate/cellulose aerogel composite showed significantly higher sorption capacities than the paper and cardboard control samples (highest value is 32.25 g g−1) only when first used as a sorbent for biodiesel, but with a rapid decrease in the following cycles.

“…Mixed oils in water can be extracted using the absorption method. Natural sorbents including zeolites, fabrics, cotton, and linen, which have broad surface area and high porosity, are typically used because of their inexpensive application for diesel oil sorption 17–22 . However, the practical application of these sorbents is limited because of their low separation efficiency, low absorption capacity, and no reuse.…”

Diesel oil sorption capacities (DOSCs) of polybenzoxazole/polyvinylidene fluoride nanofiber mats with four different groups (‐O‐, ‐S‐S‐, phenylene and diphenylene) in the main chain structures were investigated. Different experimental duration and diesel‐oil/tap‐water volume ratio pairs were used for diesel oil sorption. No degradation was observed in the nanofiber mat structures after diesel oil sorption. The characterizations of polybenzoxazole (PBO) nanofibers with high diesel oil selectivity were performed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x‐ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and contact angle measurement analysis. According to the result of characterizations, superoleophilic and superhydrophobic nanofiber mats show high water contact angle value in the range of 132–140∘ and show high separation efficiency. In this study, we integrated ensemble gradient boosting model (XGBoost) to predict the DOSC of sorbent nanofiber and obtain an optimal set of conditions to maximize the DOSC. The predicted PBO‐E sorbent at the 0.5 ratio of diesel‐oil/tap‐water measured at the end of the 3rd minute showed the most reliable and stable diesel oil sorption with at least 9.39 and at most 12.33 g/g sorbent with 95% of confidence.
