Applications Of Pure And Recycled Polymeric Micro-Nanofiber For The Removal Of Oil Spills., Afra Gharib Khamis Al Blooshi
Applications Of Pure And Recycled Polymeric Micro-Nanofiber For The Removal Of Oil Spills., Afra Gharib Khamis Al Blooshi
Theses
Cleaning oil spills is a universal concern due to its environmental impact. The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness and applications of pure and recycled polymers in clean-up and the recovery of crude oil from oil spills. In this study, micro-nanofibres of analytical-grade and commercial polystyrene samples were prepared by electrospinning technique. Fiber size distribution was shown to vary with the electrospinning parameters and type of polymer. Fibrous sorbents prepared hereafter were investigated for their efficiency in removing oil spill. Results showed variation in the sorption capacities of the fibers to various types of crude oils with …
