Preparation of an Efficient Oil-Spill Adsorbent Based on Wheat Straw

Acetylation of cellulose fiber extracted by methylbenzene/ethanol (2/1), sodium chlorite solution, and sodium hydroxide from raw wheat straw (RWS) was studied to examine its potential as an oil-spill adsorbent. Wheat straw cellulosic sorbent was produced by using acetic anhydride as an acetylating r...
