摘要：
Oil spill leaves detrimental effects to environment, living organisms, and economy. As such, it is of considerable interest to find an effective, simple, and inexpensive method to treat this calamity. This work reports the use of banana trunk fibers (BTF) modified with oleic acid, stearic acid, castor oil, and palm oil for oil spill recovery. The maximum sorption capacity, effect of oil to water ratio, effect of light oil fractions, and effect of dissolved organic compounds in weathered oil-contaminated seawater were studied. It is found that BTF treated with oleic acid exhibited the best sorption capacity for engine oil, dissolved organic compounds in weathered oil, and light oil fractions. The equilibrium process was described well by the Freundlich isotherm model, and the kinetic studies show good correlation coefficients for a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
