Description
Summary:Water is the most vital resource required for the survival. But the cleanliness of this resource has been compromised in the form of oil spills which occurs due to the tanker disaster, transportation and storage of oil. It is extremely urgent to find the effective counter measure for oil spill treatment which aims oil spill-recovery strategy. Out of all the measures, development of a good biodegradable sorbent for spillage has sustained interest. To solve this environmental problem of oil spill, magnetic Sheet was synthesised by using lumen loading procedure using alkali treated bamboo fibers and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4). Lumen loading permits the ferrite particles to be introduced solely into the lumens of bamboo fibres. For aiming this, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were first prepared by the sol–gel method and fibers were pre-treated with 6 % NaOH. Then synthesised ferrites were merged with the fibers. The samples were characterized by employing Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD). SEM confirms the deposition of cobalt ferrites nano particles on the surface and into the macropores of fibers. The sorption capacity for raw bamboo fibers, alkali treated bamboo fibers and composite sheet was calculated for three different type of oil such as mustard oil, coconut oil and olive oil. The sorption capacity shown by the raw bamboo fiber, 6 % NaOH treated bamboo fiber and composite magnetic sheet was in the range 1.8–2.2 g, 16.2–18.8 g and 1.8–2.4 g of oil per gram of sample respectively. The outcomes propose that the prepared magnetic sheet can be used as absorbent for oil-spill clean-up.
