Abstract

The increasing frequency of oil spills has raised concerns for environmental pollution and has prompted the need for effective oil spill control measures. In this study, we propose a novel natural fiber oil spill absorbent mat that is environmentally friendly, low-cost, and efficient. The proposed mat is made of natural fibers and can absorb oil spills effectively. The mat was tested with different types of oils, including crude oil, vegetable oil, and motor oil. The results indicate that the proposed mat can absorb up to 10 times its weight in oil, making it an effective solution for oil spill control.
