Being cost-effective, synthetic materials were initially used abundantly for the removal of oil.
Gradually, however, awareness of the use of dispersants like Corexit, which makes water …

Due to its excellent performance, aerogel is considered to be an especially promising new
material. Cellulose is a renewable and biodegradable natural polymer. Aerogel prepared …

Oil spills frequently occur in the ocean, and adsorption is one of the effective ways to deal
with oil spills. Compared with other adsorbent materials, biomass aerogel has superior …

Numerous aerogels are available in the scientific literature, however very few of them are in
the market. Silicon, polymer, and carbon-based aerogels are commercially applied in …

A simplistic synthesis approach for fabrication of ultra-light density (2.2 to 24 mg. cm− 3),
highly porous (98.4%–99.8%), and cross-linked natural cellulose aerogel from rice straw …

With the development of the economy and the progress of industrialization, the problem of
water pollution has become very serious. Crude oil leakage at sea, petroleum industry …

Aerogels, as ultralight three-dimensional (3D) highly porous materials, show great
superiority in oil and organic pollutant cleanup. Notably, biomass aerogels have also …

Despite advances in technology and safety measures, accidental releases of crude oil and
refined products into marine and freshwater environments remains a major environmental …

Conventional synthetic sorbents for oil spill removal are the most widely applied materials,
although they are not the optimal choices from an economic and environmental point of …

The most common and abundant polymer in nature is the linear polysaccharide cellulose,
but processing it requires a new approach since cellulose degrades before melting and …
