The concern in reducing the environmental impacts caused by human interference is increasing. Thus, the objective of this study was to generate a sustainable solution for sorption of vegetable oil. It was developed and ...

This study evaluates the efficiency of castor oil–based polyurethane foams for oil sorption S10 and S500, focusing on the influence of the pores’ size. Different foams were produced by varying the polyol: isocyanate ratio ...

Curaua (Ananas erictifolius) fiber was investigated as sorbent of diesel and biodiesel oils, and compared with peat, which is used commercially. The sorption tests were carried out for the unclassified fiber and within the ...

The use of technologies with sustainable adsorbents from agro-industrial residues with hydrophobic characteristics has induced the interest of the scientific community, due to the accidents involving spills and leaks of ...

To enhance the removal of vegetal oil from water, the influence of the concentration of fibers from sugarcane bagasse pretreated by the steam explosion as reinforcement in polyurethane foam was used. The composites were ...

Sorption equilibria of water and hexane in sunflower meals were determined at atmospheric pressure and temperatures from 50 to 95 °C. Adsorption-desorption experiments, for both individual vapors and water-hexane mixtures, ...

In this research, sorption isotherms and thermodynamic properties of papaya seeds were evaluated by simulating storage and drying temperatures. Papaya seeds and its oil were evaluated for their proximate composition and ...
