Arising hydrophobic wettable materials for oil spill clean-up: A review

Abstract

Natural hazards specially oil spillage disturb the ecology, which makes them a concern for people all over the world. Contamination with oil poses a major hazard to both human health and marine ecosystems. To address the environmental issues caused by oil pollution, this research looks at several methods of oil recovery and biodegradation. A more thorough and focused approach to oil spill clean-up can be accomplished by classifying these techniques according to the particular problems they seek to tackle rather than technical factors. Due to its ease of use and great effectiveness, sorption is an extensively utilized technique. The selection of sorbents is influenced by a number of variables, including their affordability and safety of usage. The development of effective sorbents such as metal organic framework (MOF), etc. To help remove oil from water and other contaminated sources has been the focus of this study. In order to satisfy the public's rising desire for sustainable practices, the assessment also looks at how oil sorption technologies might employ natural, environmentally acceptable materials. The findings emphasize how crucial sorbent modification methods are to improving oil recovery process efficiency and minimizing environmental damage. The most recent advancements in the realm of material recovery and clean-up after oil spills are covered in this review. The results of this study have important significance for mitigating the effects of oil spills on aquatic ecosystems and safeguarding water supplies using innovative and environment friendly solutions for future generations.
