Impact of Fiber Treatment on the Oil Absorption Characteristics of Plant Fibers
Most plant fibers are good sorbents of oil; however, synthetic sorbents have a much higher sorption capacity (SC) than plant fibers. This study evaluated the effect of fiber treatments, specifically hot-water treatment and mercerization, on the absorption characteristics of selected plant fibers. Fi...
