Oil Spill Cleanup

Both classical and new marine oil spill cleanup response methods and techniques are discussed. The intention is mainly to answer the fundamental questions of when, where, and how to apply the different methods. A brief review of the stages of the oil spill response problem is first presented, followed by the factors that influence the different methods. This is followed by an analysis of some new cleanup methods and improvements to existing methods, specifically: bioremediation, the use of more efficient ships for skimming, the use of fishing nets for heavy oil recovery, and new materials and designs of sorbents. Some cases are also analyzed to evaluate the performance of some methods under real conditions.

Oil Spill Cleanup

In this research, the researchers study the fabrication of oil absorption, hydrophobic polyurethane (PU) sponge for application in an oil-spill cleanup model. Virgin PU is initially hydrophilic. PU is made hydrophobic by incorporating hydrophobic silica aerogel (SA) into PU 3D porous structure by stirring method and UV-treatment method. UV-irradiation promotes the attachment of SA onto the PU surface. Varying UV irradiation time and concentration of SA is done to attain an optimal attachment of SA on PU. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurements (CA) are used to determine the adhesion of SA on PU. The loadings of SA with and without UV-treatment are compared. Results show that SA-PU with UV-treatment has more loading of SA than SA-PU without treatment. FT-IR spectra and SEM micrographs verify the results. Moreover, the SA-PU is tested for oil absorption to simulate oil-spill cleanup. The findings show fast (less than 3 seconds), recoverable oil-spills cleanup with simple method of preparation. In addition, SA-PU with UV treatment has higher absorption rate and %absorption efficiency when compared to original PU and SA-PU without UV treatment.

Composite Fibrous Membranes

In this study, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun fibrous membranes were manufactured and applied for oil spill cleanup. Two kinds of composite fibrous membranes composed of PAN electrospun fibrous membranes and polyethylene/polyethylene terephthalate (PE/PET) core-shell fiber nonwoven fabric were fabricated. The fibrous structure, mechanical properties and surface wettability for water and oil, as well as oil absorption capacities and dynamic oil retention of the membranes, were investigated in detail. The addition of nonwoven fabric significantly enhanced the tensile strength of the PAN fibrous membranes. The oil absorption mechanisms of different membranes were studied as well. The sandwich structure composite fibrous membranes exhibited excellent mechanical property and oil absorption capacity, making it a promising candidate for treatment of oily wastewater.

Oil Spill Cleanup

Peat moss, a well-known hyper-sorbent is now gaining attention for its utilization in oil-spill cleanup techniques because of its cost-effectiveness, biodegradability and relatively high oil absorption capacities. This review mainly emphasis on the characteristic features of the peat moss such as high porosity and large surface area which make it an efficient natural sorbent material for cleaning up oil spills. There are several products which have been developed from the peat moss and are commercially available in the market for oil spill cleanup.
