Oil Sequestration Characteristics of Oil Palm Mesocarp Fiber-Derived Biochar

Abstract

Abstract The pollution associated with oil spills poses a serious threat to humans and the environment. In this study, biochar was prepared from oil palm mesocarp fiber for the separation of oil from an oil–water matrix. Oil palm mesocarp fiber biochar (... Practical Applications This study illustrates the applicability of oil palm mesocarp fiber biochar (OPMFB), both in raw and chemically treated forms, as an effective and sustainable adsorbent for oil spill cleanup. The results from batch adsorption ...
