Abstract

In many oil spill accidents, the crud oil flowed into the ocean led to serious crisis to environment as one type of pollution. It can pollute air, water and soil. A research on oil spill cleanup materials in oceans showed new material fibers can absorb several times oil as the materials' weight. If a new material which is easy to get, convenient to use and friendly to circumstance, it should be a good choice in the future to prevent the oil pollution spread. Polypropylene and calotropis gigantea fiber were evaluated as oil-absorbing materials. To recycle the oil slick, people should do more research and nano fiber is the most promising material because of the high oil absorption efficiency.
