The threat of oil pollution increases with the expansion of oil exploration and production
activities, as well as the industrial growth around the world. The study on the treatment of oily …

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 …

Hybrid nanomaterials have received voluminous interest due to the combination of unique
properties of organic and inorganic component in one material. In this class, magnetic …

Herein, we report a facile synthesis, characterizations, and applications of silica, chitosan,
and chitosan–silica (CS) blend novel aerogels with enhanced surface properties. The …

The hazard of oil pollution has increased with the growth of industrial development and
exploration, production, and refining of oil. Due to the recent increase in the volume of oily …

Oil spills remain an inevitable risk in the exploration, production, and transportation of
hydrocarbons. Their impacts on the environment are usually severe, hence effective and …

Oil spillage poses a serious threat to the marine ecosystem and the environment. This has
led to an increasing demand for oil recovery and the quest for effective …

The potential of human hair as an oil spill sorbent was investigated in this study by batch
adsorption experiments in vegetable oil, crude oil and diesel fuel. Three categories of …

The aim of the study is to select a cellulosic waste material from paper industry solid wastes
and process it for sorbent production. Four different solid wastes were collected from a local …

Given the predominantly negative impact of heavy metals on living organisms, the present
study proposed to evaluate the adsorption performances under static conditions of Cd (II) …
