Abstract

Considerable research has been devoted to developing oil absorbents for clean-up of oil spills and removal of emulsified oil from waste water. Agricultural products and residues, such as kapok fiber,1 cotton,2,3 rice hulls,4 corncob meal,5 bagasse fibers,6 and peat moss7 have been used for this application, and these materials have the advantage of being inexpensive and readily available. Moreover, cellulosic products exist in fibrous form and can be easily formed into mats, pads, and nonwoven sheets. Mats and column packings for oil removal have also been prepared by mixing cellulosic fibers with synthetic fibers, e.g., polyethylene8 or polypropylene-polyethylene-nylon blend.9 Cellulosics have also been mixed with inorganic materials, such as clay,10 magnesium hydroxide, and alumina11 to give oil-absorbent compositions.
