Oil spills are polluting the sea economically and environmentally. Currently, commercialized methods for treating spilled oil are not sustainable solutions because they cause secondary pollution such as waste and oxidizing materials. Therefore, many methods have been proposed for eco-friendly and effective oil treatment. However, these techniques still have the disadvantages that they are expensive or cumbersome. An oil-absorbent with hydrophobic properties was prepared for sustainable and eco-friendly oil treatment. The surface state of the prepared absorbent was characterized through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. In addition, a continuous oil-water separation system was investigated using the prepared absorbent. In this study, we would like to propose a new method that compensates for the shortcomings of the currently commercialized method. |
