Abstract In this research, oil sorption capacity of natural Peat moss and polymeric sorbents have been studied for the removal of oil spills from aquatic media. A maximum absorption capacity of 22 times its self-weight was observed for Nature sorb, in crude oil. The particle size equivalent of 100 mesh was found to have the maximum sorption capacity. Envirobond 403 provided the best oil retention capacity, with a minimum weight loss of 2.4 g/7 g of oil. Water contact angle for Nature sorb and Sphag sorb were found to be 104.33° and 73.29°, respectively. FTIR confirms physical encapsulation as the principle of absorption.

选择性吸附剂去除溢油的理论与实验研究

摘要 在这项研究中，研究了天然泥炭藓和聚合物吸附剂的吸油能力，以去除水生介质中的溢油。在原油中，Nature sorb 的最大吸收能力是其自重的 22 倍。发现相当于 100 目的粒径具有最大的吸附能力。Envirobond 403 提供了最佳的保油能力，最小重量损失为 2.4 克/7 克油。Nature sorb 和 Sphag sorb 的水接触角分别为 104.33° 和 73.29°。FTIR 确认物理封装是吸收原理。
