Abstract

Abstract Due to their low-cost, light weight, environmental protection, biological carbon as the oil adsorbent has aroused widely attention. The discovery and research of novel biological carbon for the separation of oil from water is still required urgently. In this work, the cotton husks were prepared through high-temperature pyrolysis and they are utilized to adsorb different oils. The adsorption process and reusability were also investigated, it founded that the carbonized cotton husks (CNH) exhibit fast adsorption capacity and excellent sorption capacity and reusability, which can be the great candidate for oil spill cleanup application.
