2. • In the developing modern world, the oil and gas industry produces, refines, transports, and markets trillions of
barrels of crude oil and petroleum products annually as per global demand.
• Oil as a commodity has dominated the world energy market for decades.
• Majorly seaways are used for transporting these oils which have the maximum risk of an oil spill.
• It is the accidental release of Oil from Oil containers and pipelines
• Oil spill causes a major risk to the aquatic environment. Considering old recovery methods of oil spill , recovery
using nanotechnology is better and more efficient than the conventional methods.

The fast and continuous recovery of
extremely highly viscous oil was realized by
a combination of solar and magnetic
heating with a vacuum pump, and the
recovery rate reached 50.6 g h− 1 cm− 2

Among various functionalized cellulose
materials, the C18s-Ag-DA-Cell-F was
suitable for separating oil from water due
to its high hydrophobicity, excellent
separation
efficiency, and reusability.

It was observed that oil recovery increases
as API decreases, and it was possible to
establish a model to predict the amount of
recovered oil according to this effect

The resulting sponges are characterized
by excellent

superhydprophobic, and they fully repel
water and at the same time selectively
absorb oil and organic liquids of different
densities.

increased salinity and pH. The interaction
of Ca cross-linked nanoparticles with
dodecane in water was also
demonstrated. The nanoparticles showed
promising potential for applications in oil-
spill treatment.

functionalizing agent, the aerogels
completely removed the oil from water as
shown in. The synthesized aerogel was
capable of absorbing oil as much as 234
times its own weight.

7. OBJECTIVES
Based on the literature review the following objectives are made :
• To prepare different viscous oils added saline water samples.
• To prepare a hybrid nanoparticle composite using Arundo Donax , Azolla filiculoides, Sugarcane bagasse
and magnetite nanoparticles.
• To develop an eco-friendly adsorbent for the oil in water.
• To adsorb the oil from the saline water samples.
• To study the characteristics of the nano adsorbent using necessary tests.

(300 gm)
3) Methanol (30ml)
4) Ethanol (20ml)
5) Saline water (200ml)

11. Preparation of nanocomposite :
•Washing the plant substance with water will prevent the contamination of the particles.
•Then the plant substance should be dried in sunlight for about 6–10 hours.
•The plant substance is dried in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 300 °C.
•Crushing of plant substances to obtain fine powder by pestle and mortar
•Add processed plant substances, methanol, and magnetite nanoparticles in small quantities to a beaker.
•The sonication of the mixture took about two hours, and it was heated at 45–55 degrees Celsius for six hours.
•Then the mixture is rinsed with ethanol.
•The mixture is dried in an oven to obtain the required adsorbent.
METHODOLOGY

12. Oil adsorption:
• To conduct the experiment, three different viscous oil and saline water samples were taken.
• Then, oil is added to a beaker containing 200 ml of water, and 1 gram of adsorbent is placed in the beaker
and immersed in an oil-water mixture at room temperature.
• The adsorbent is left in the beaker for 1 hour to perform the adsorption operation.
• The adsorbent is filtered by using filter paper and it is weighed.
• Finally, the filter paper is weighed after removing the adsorbent.
• The adsorption capacity(S) is measured using this formula,
S = (Wi-Wt-Wp-Ww)/Wi
where,
Wi - the initial weight of adsorbent(gram)
Wt - the weight of wet adsorbent with the filter paper after draining(gram)
Wp - the weight of water uptake by the adsorbent (gram)
Ww – the weight of wet filter paper after removing the adsorbent (gram)
